This brush is absolutely incredible! I got the 23" model because I liked the larger opening for faster cleanup. It might be just slightly unnecessarily large for my pool and particular application but it works perfectly. It picks up every single thing in its path and makes quick work of a skimming of the top or the bottom. ProTuff sent me an email with a video showing the proper technique for cleaning the bottom and it really works well. I love everything about the net. I don't really have any large leaves but I get tons of small debris and junk that blows into the pool daily. This net allows me to completely clean the pool from top to bottom in just a few minutes with very minimal effort.

The construction is great. The materials used are good quality and the design is flawless. The angled front lip helps scrap the bottom perfectly and picks up everything like a vacuum. It catches even the finest particles and picks them up. The net is really strong so it keeps its shape even when flipped upside down. You need to push it through to dump the contents then everything shakes right out.

I don't leave the net out in the sun so it seems to be staying looking perfectly new. I just let it dry on my deck then toss it in my pool box. I needed a new pole and was really excited when I found a JED professional pole because it matched exactly in black. Not necessary but makes it much more aesthetically pleasing. The black plastic end of the net is shaped to fit easily and, as it slides in, the taper causes it to snug up just right so when it clicks in place there is no play/slop. It feels like the overall fit was designed to be an integrated part of the pole not just a random attachment.

I got this net because of the lifetime warranty and the rave reviews. I wanted something that was built to last so I didn't need to keep replacing my net every season with the junk from the box stores or pool stores that never lasts. I was pleasantly surprised and excited when the professional pool service showed up to do a monthly cleaning of the pool equipment and he had the same exact net as me in the next size down. He said he got his when they first came out and still has the some one with zero issues. He cleans pools all day long every day so that made me feel good knowing I made a wise choice getting this ProTuff net. I wish they made brushes and other pool cleaning equipment because I would definitely be interested in those as well. Overall, I'm extremely please with my purchase and the price. I highly recommend spending the few extra dollars and getting this professional quality net so you can relax and not worry about it breaking and leaving you hanging.

I've been researching how to take over my pool maintenance and one tip was to replace my pool skimmer net with a leaf rake. My pool is surrounded by grass and palm trees so it gets a lot of debris. Removing debris from the bottom of the pool normally required vacuuming which is a pain. I just received this product and I already love it. First it makes skimming the surface easier, debris is trapped deep in the net I don't have to continually empty it. Second, this product can be used to remove large grass and leaves from the bottom of the pool without vacuuming. So now I can clean the surface and bottom of the pool in the time it used to take me just to skim the surface. Getting the debris out often keeps the pool looking nice all week and helps reducing chlorine consumption. It's especially nice to be able to quickly clean up the pool before guests come over.

I'm also very impressed by the communication provided by the company. I've received multiple emails and brochures informing me of how to use the product and how to get help if there's ever a problem. I really feel like this company is going out of their way to stand behind their product and make sure I'm happy with it.

Solid, strong net just like the advertise. Then sides and it is easily able to capture all the dust in the pool with the thin rims around the net and the net net (small holes). The reviews get this right.

They all miss this one part: While the net is very well built, this also makes it hard to empty the net because it is so thick and well built. You cannot simply turn the net upside down as the net will not fall down (it maintains its shape). The leaves like to stay in the net. You need to use your hands to clean the net or to flip the net. Using a hose also works to clean the net.

Overall quality has some shortcomings but I won't ding the product for this as it is built to last a long time, not to be flimsy (which makes it a lot more convenient to empty the net).

I purchased this pool net in 2014. I was impressed at the time with the price and apparent quality.
When the product arrived, I was extremely impressed by the Lifetime Warranty (in fact, I was surprised, as that feature had not been top of mind, or part of my purchase decision).
Anyhow, I registered my purchase as requested and agreed to receive a few emails from the company, and its founder, Mike Kaufman.
Wow am I glad I did!
I use this pool net / pool leaf rake nearly each week. 9 out of 10 times, I take the time to rinse it off when finished.
Recently I noticed the plastic had begun to fade a bit in the Arizona sun, but more importantly, I noticed that part of the lower lip had begun to wear away. It didn't dramatically alter the pool rake's performance, but it would over time.
So, I reached out to the company to see what the protocol was for replacing my leaf rake under warranty.
I received a friendly email within hours, asking but only two questions: 1) was my address the same, and 2) did I need/qualify for expedited shipping.
I replied to both questions, telling Mike that there was no need to pay for expedited shipping.
My replacement pool leaf rake/net just arrived.
I couldn't be happier.

I can't speak to swimming pool experience but this skimmer is fabulous for cleaning the surface of my quarter acre pond which is way rougher duty than any swimming pool. I bought it for the large size but the sturdy construction is great. I can pick up duck weed, assorted algae, leaves, etc. The mesh is a good size - passes water freely and retains most debris. I work from shore, from my canoe, or don my snorkel gear and dive in with it.
