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.\u00a0\u00a0But, for many pool-owners,\u00a0discovering what\u00a0the\u00a0weekly contents of the skimmer baskets are is anything but fun.\u00a0\u00a0On a regular basis, you\u00a0probably find\u00a0hair, leaves and grasses,\u00a0bugs, and even pool toys,\u00a0but you also\u00a0may occasionally find an unfortunate critter or\u00a0a mysterious pile of slimy goop.\u00a0 Sure, you can attempt to empty the basket’s contents by turning it over and tapping on the bottom.\u00a0 Inevitably, though, you’ll need to use your hand to swipe out whatever items will not come out with\u00a0even a vigorous tapping\u00a0— most often, it seems that\u00a0what is left are the most disgusting bits.<\/p>\n
