Scumsocks Save You From Skimmer Basket Goop
If you like interesting surprises, then you might actually enjoy peeking into the skimmer baskets each week to see what mystery items have been collected. But, for many pool-owners, discovering what the weekly contents of the skimmer baskets are is anything but fun. On a regular basis, you probably find hair, leaves and grasses, bugs, and even pool toys, but you also may occasionally find an unfortunate critter or a mysterious pile of slimy goop.
