Love this product / even more now
Man I love this thing. Most of the negative/low star reviews are from individuals who aren’t the correct use case for this pool filter.My biggest gripe was dealing with changing out the sock and the method it was installed. Well I lost the little blue ring and in a pinch used the sock over as seen in the pic. Well sorry pool devil I almost came back and bought a 3rd one of these just for the ring but finding this sock hack made this product even better for me.More stuff gets through to the sock, and the sock no longer flaps around gets caught sideways. Its way quicker to change too.Some others mentioned poor suction, well there is no suction it needs good water flow out of the pool jet to do its thing.Another commenter mentioned how they have long leaves falling in their pool that won’t fit through the 3” hole. Yes basically just think about what you have in your pool and decide if your pool stuff will fit.There was another post about how the pooldevil will mess with your pool’s water circulation. And maybe in specific cases that could be. I’m actually using mine to help boost my pool’s circulation so I’m getting a pre-filter before the debris makes it to the skimmer.There was also a mention of this device changing the ph of the pool. I don’t see how that could be the case. Even with the bit of turbulence created I can’t imagine the air incorporated through agitation would be significant enough to change the ph in a significant way. And the way to decrease the turbulence is to change the angle the 90 deg adapter is at. I have just under the 3oclock position which brings the spout just under the water line.And even when longer sticks get stuck in the opening at least it all collected in the same area an I can grab it real quickly.I have a 20k gallon saltwater pool and this has helped me cut down the amount of filter back washing at least 30%.I’m currently dealing with an algae bloom from the pool sitting covered for 2 years because of a baby. It’s pretty amazing how helpful this thing is at grabbing really small particles.I’d write more but I need to get back to cleaning.For me this thing is a must have in my pool. And I’ll purchase a new one when this one needs replacing.

Nothing is better at skimming the pool
this is my 3rd PoolDevil. I give it 5 starts because it works great. Nothing is better at skimming the pool. It doesn't last forever. Chlorine eats at the plastic hose and it will break after 2-3 years. And the main float plastic also deteriorates. But I don't subtact a star because thats expected sitting in a chloring pool and 90 degree sun the whole year. I just wish there were afordable replacement hoses ($5 - $10). The filter socks are also waaay too expensive. So I just use long tube socks from any store. Great product.

Alright I’m a sucker
From what’s in the box unless you are the 10% of pools that have very specific aimright ball eye pool return fittings that are externally threaded onto the return, this isn’t for you. And I think those returns from the looks of it must be 3 inch or 4 inch line fittings, which would be unusual today. Too bad they don’t make that clear anywhere.Company doesn’t respond to questions submitted our website. And there were no other fittings in the box other than two aim right fittings.I just don’t see any way this would work for 75% of the pools out there. Minimally no matter what you might as well make sure you know how to disassemble your return line jets for you push the buy button. Make sure you know how to pop the eyes out and remove the fittings.

It works great.
I like this item. I have had no luck with the standard intex skimmer for years. I lile the concept of using the outflow to create a current to push rather than suck the debris in. I modified it slightly to work with my pool so I can quick change the self vacuum from the pool devil..It quickly started working.

Useless gimmick
This is one the most useless item I bought for my backyard pool. Installation was super easy but mind you pool owners. If you know how a pool filter works in tandem with the skimmer and the main drain you will realize that this item will mess up that. Read on if you want to understand a little. The circulation that the skimmers create in the pool is such that the surface debris and dirt gets through the surface skimmer and rest of it goes through the main drain. And heavy dirt settles at the bottom. Now pool devil messes up with the surface circulation and also creates agitation in surface water that is not good for maintaining the right PH of water. This product can be helpful for people who have no idea of what the correct water line should be to get the best out of your in built skimmer. If you have the right water line nothing can beat your pool skimmer to clean your water. Also the return jet has to be set right to create that circulation just below the water line. The surface water of the pool should be as calm as it can be. This messes up that too. Go figure. Not recommended if you know your pool and how to set it right. Will work only for pool owners who don't know the basics but they will then never know what they are missing if they set their returns and water line just right without using this. There is a reason return jets are placed below the water line. Also this looks super ugly in my nice backyard pool.
