Too Much floating debris overloading skimmer.

I've noticed several questions regarding the pool skim. I have not been on the forum much lately as we have been enjoying the pool. We are currently in somewhat of a drought here in south Texas and the leaves are beginning a premature falling from the trees. The basket on the pooskim is a very fine mesh and I have found it does an excellent job of picking up the smallest silt and debris. I'm guessing the bag is about two feet long and 6-8 inches wide. At our current rate of dying leaves I have to empty it about every couple of days because it is packed full. When we are getting our normal amount of rain fall it only needs to be emptied about once per week. It's a very simple precedure to empty the bag and takes all of about 1 minute.

It's amazing to watch how fast it can clear and clean the pool surface water. Because of the intense heat here this year we have been primarly using the pool in the evenings and at night. I usually fire up the pump on high speed about 1 hour ahead of when we plan to swim and let the pool skim go to work.

One of the best investments I've made.
