How often should I clean the skimmer basket?
Clean the skimmer basket as needed, typically every 1-3 days, or more frequently during periods of heavy debris, such as after a storm or during leaf fall.
Can I use this skimmer with a pool vacuum?
Yes, you can use the skimmer in conjunction with a pool vacuum. The skimmer will remove surface debris, while the vacuum cleans the pool floor.
