Has anyone built a successful DIY skimmer? If so, how much did the parts cost? Can you provide a photo or drawing? Thanks.

I would guess it is very hard to replicate a skimmer with removeable basket for less that commerical products. Pool skimmers work just fine and cost anywhere from 1/2 to 1/4 of a savio. Just use a black pool skimmer...not a white one.
