ProTuff 490 Promise 17.5in Pro Pool Silt Net, Fine Mesh, Cloudy Water

Bought this skimmer net back in 2018. I recently used the "lifetime warranty" to get a replacement which arrived today. After 8 years the original skimmer net had a few holes and rips but nothing crazy. Mesh is also a fine screen able to catch the little bits of debris in the pool, which is why I bought it. Survived being left out in the SoCal sun year round. 100% recommend, be sure to register your product and you will be able to file a claim for a replacement down the line. Real user friendly interface also!

Sturdy, high quality build that works very well getting ALL the crap out of my pool. The fine mesh net even picks up the pollen and tiny floating debris so it's clean after one sweep. The warranty is legit and they replaced my net without issue after 2 years when a sharp twig punched a hole in it. Buy once, cry once and have yourself an awesome skimming net for life!

Amazing pool net! It’s sturdy, lightweight, and makes cleaning the pool quick and easy. It easily picks up everything from leaves to small debris without bending or feeling flimsy. Pool maintenance is much less of a chore. Definitely a worthwhile purchase, the lifetime warranty is legit (no questions asked after purchase if a replacement is needed).

This is the best pool skimmer net that I’ve ever used. It skims fine particles out of the water and has held up for years. The warranty and customer service is great too.

1000% worth it! This company stands by its promise on its product and has unlimited lifetime replacement for residential with easy online replacement request. Bought my product in 2023 and requested a replacement in 2026 with small hole in netting. Replacement request was easy and shipping was fast. I am so impressed with this company that when it comes time to replace other pool products I will check out their line of inventory first. Product may cost a bit more initially but the quality, customer service, and lifetime replacement make it hands down a great investment in your line of pool care!!!!

The net is really high quality. Living in Arizona, the sun is hard on everything. This net was great to catch the flowers/seeds from palm trees that can slip through most normal nets. After 4 years of use outside, the net started to show signs of wear with a couple small holes. True to their lifetime warranty, ProTuff sent a replacement out right away and their warranty claim process was the easiest warranty claim I've ever done in my life.

WOW. Just wow. This company is legit and they don’t make em like this anymore! I bought the 17.5 in. pro pool silt net back in 2021 and here we are in 2026 and after so much great use and durability (the material is seriously great quality!), it finally broke. I remembered vaguely of a guaranteed, no questions asked warranty so I went and dug through my Amazon purchases to find my previous order, visited their website, filed my warranty claim on a Wednesday and lo and behold, it’s Friday and I’m holding a brand new, fully updated replacement net!! Seriously can’t even with how impressed I am. A company that actually makes incredible products, stands by them, and then goes above and beyond to make it just the best deal imaginable. My upfront cost for this net 5 years ago has paid for itself ten times over now and the value for the money just blows my mind. Can’t recommend enough! PS - the updates they’ve made to this net compared to the one I had in 2021 show and are beautiful! This size is just perfect and the stability and durability of it is incomparable.

Here in North Carolina, the pine pollen comes down with a vengeance every spring and just coats everything in this yellow-green mess, pool surface being no exception. I was hoping that the very fine mesh advertised with this net would be able to scoop at least 50% of the pollen floating on the surface, but sad to say the majority of the pollen just floats right on through the net. I do see that about 20-30% of the pollen gets stuck in the net, but the rest of it just gets swirled around in the wake of the net. I guess pollen is too fine. However, the net is awesome at collecting everything else. Small bugs, leaf pieces, whatever gets collected. And the basket portion of the net is plenty large to hold lots of debris so that you're not having to empty it out often. This does significantly speed up the time spent skimming the pool. I was also a bit worried that it would be tough to use the net, in regards to having to muscle it around due to the increased resistance pulling it through the water from the fine mesh on the net. If you read the manufacturer's description, they act like you'll need to be Hercules to use the large sized net due to the water resistance. However, it's not all that difficult and my 10 year old is using the net right now. Overall I'm happy with the net and this has replaced our prior pool net. If it was capable of picking up the pollen, I would be ecstatic and would definitely have given this 5 stars.

Overall this skimmer net works great. I like the fact that it is clear so that you can see leaves and debris floating underneath the water. My previous skimmer net was white and I found it harder to capture this type if material. It also glides through the water with medium resistance, which is good based on the small size of the openings in the net (i.e. for silt). I also find their warranty very impressive. The only negative comment is that I find the depth of the net to be a little small. This means you have to empty it more often. If you try to collect too much debris it just spills over into the pool. Another 2"-3" would be ideal.

I purchased the expensive pool net, seemed great until the stitching started coming out and the net started coming apart, only used it maybe 5 times, very disappointed, And they don't Honor there warranty, it's a scam, very upset 😡 waste of money
