I have had two of these skimmers for a while, they are great! But as others have mentioned can be a death trap
So wanted to do something as a preventative measure.
Having rummaged around cupboards/draws/garage/shed trying to find mesh and suitable pipe, was unable to find any at hand, so came up with this.
Sorry about the quality of some pic's hope they are clear enough
Two things we all have
Take 'spout' off skimmer
Place the plant pot over the 'spout' and cut around
So you end up with this
Take the pot off and cut a few notches around the base of the pot
Put all parts back together
Finished and installed
Thanks for looking!
