While the Gator Auto-Skim seems to effectively draw in debris from close by, it also appears to miss some debris as it goes by.

Remember that the Gator Auto-Skim returns time after time during a normal filtering cycle of 6 to 12 hours. There is virtually no debris that escapes this relentless hunt across the pool surface. Try leaving the Gator to do it’s work and come back a few hours later and you will notice the difference! Also check your weir basket and you will be amazed at the debris it has collected.
