Be aware that the “repairable” netting is not like traditional skimmer nets. The material is very thick, stiff plastic that has a strong memory and constantly wants to stay wrinkled and twisted. Unlike normal netting, it floats instead of sinking with the skimmer, which makes bottom skimming frustrating. The netting tends to rise above the frame and restricts debris from entering the net. If you're expecting the feel or performance of a standard skimmer net, this will likely disappoint. Only consider it if you're willing to work around these issues.
