Your Place for Everything Backyard

A skimmer sock is a fine mesh liner for pool skimmer baskets, acting as a cheap pre-filter to trap fine debris (pollen, dead algae, hair) before it clogs the pump and main filter. It improves water clarity and protects equipment but requires frequent checks to avoid flow restriction and pump damage.

A pool aerator cools water 3–10°F through evaporation and naturally raises pH without increasing total alkalinity. Affordable and easy to install, it improves circulation and ambiance as a low-cost alternative to pool chillers. Run it at night for best cooling and watch pH levels.
