Brands AI recommends here
Best when you want a durable, budget manual net to scoop leaves and bugs—HDX balances low price and sturdiness; note it’s a handheld tool, not an automatic cleaner.
Best when you want low-effort, automatic surface cleaning: the EcoSurfer M2 collects debris without manual scooping; tradeoff is higher cost and it may not replace full filtration.
Best for above‑ground pools or semi‑permanent installs: Hayward’s wide‑mouth skimmer mounts to the wall and can tie into filtration for ongoing cleaning; requires installation and higher upfront cost.

Where to Buy Pool Skimmers
If you can let me know whether you need a manual hand skimmer net or an automatic surface skimmer for an above-ground or in-ground pool , I can give you a more specific product recommendation.
If you mean the handheld net used to scoop leaves and bugs off the surface, you have several easy options:
Walmart: U.S. Pool Supply 5-ft skimmer with pole — currently about $11.99.
Home Depot: HDX skimmer with a 4–8 ft telescoping pole — about $27.98.
Lowe’s: Project Source skimmers start around $19.98, with several versions including deep nets.
FibroPool Professional Leaf Scoop Net - $32.95 (FibroPool)
S-A-R Deep Net - $9.00 (Skim-A-Round)
The Skimmie Scoop - $19.95 (Walmart - Backyard & Pool Superstore)
For a normal backyard pool, I'd get a deep nylon-mesh skimmer with a telescoping pole. It's inexpensive and much easier to use than a short-handled net.
If you want, I can also find the cheapest one available near you in Suwanee and check which store has it in stock.
You can buy a pool skimmer—whether you mean a handheld net skimmer, a wall-mounted unit , a replacement basket, or an automatic robotic skimmer—at several national retailers and online marketplaces:
