Frequently Asked Questions

What is a skimmer sock and how does it work?

A skimmer sock is a fine mesh net that fits over your pool skimmer basket. As water flows through the skimmer, the sock catches fine debris — such as hair, insects, pollen, and small leaves — that would otherwise pass through the basket slots and reach your pump and filter. This reduces the load on your filter, extends the time between backwashes, and helps protect your pump from fine debris ingestion.

How do I fit a skimmer sock?

Open your skimmer lid and remove the skimmer basket. Stretch the skimmer sock over the outside of the basket so it covers the basket walls and base. Replace the basket in the skimmer. The sock will be held in place by the basket and water flow. Check and replace the sock regularly — when it becomes full of debris or starts to restrict water flow.

How often should I replace skimmer socks?

This depends on how much debris your pool collects. In high-debris periods (autumn leaf fall, after storms), you may need to replace or clean the sock every 1–3 days. In quieter periods, a sock may last a week or more. The socks can be rinsed and reused multiple times before disposal. Replace when the mesh becomes torn or permanently clogged.

Will these fit my skimmer basket?

These Aussie Gold regular skimmer socks are 40% larger than standard socks and are designed to fit all standard pool skimmer baskets. At 23cm long × 15cm wide, they suit the vast majority of residential pool skimmers. If you have an unusually large or small skimmer basket, contact us to confirm fit before ordering.
