anyone have any experience with the Skim Shark?

leejp, please post your experience with the Poolskim when you get it! I agree, it looks worth the try. Thanks for volunteering to be the one on the forum to shell out the $60 to try it out :-)

Will do...

You'll have to wait until the end of May though... that's when the cover comes off here in Upstate, NY (after most of the pine needles and the norway maple spinners have come down).

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm also interested in your results. I only have one skimmer in my 18x36 inground pool and it has a hard time keeping up. I'm looking for something to supplement it.

I don't think the skim shark actually sucks the debris. I think it just moves around and the debris ends up in the "mouth" of the shark. So the battery power just causes it to "swim" around. I'll wait for your results though on the pool skim. Thanks.

Then, there is the Polaris LCS. See it at http://www.polarispoolsystems.com

Look under accessories, then LCS.

I have one (also a Pool Devil and wll probably get a Poolskim, too - I am desperate for more skiming action) and the results are still out. It goes on the line for a suction cleaner and needs the cleaner to move it around the pool. I found that my 1.5hp pump would not drive the LCS and Hayward Navigator enough to get very effective action. Since the LCS is on the line before the Navigator, it reduces the suction to the cleaner. There is an ajdjustment, but I have found I do not have enough power to effectively drive both. I will be swapping my 1.5hp for a 2hp soon, so maybe it will improve.
