Leaves on bottom of pool

[Pool_Mike]

Hummmmmmmmmm....

Is this what your talking about?


If so, I have this. I tried. Its a pain in the &^% to use. lol


I can keep using the manual vac, but probably going to have to start putting on my solar cover to prevent leafs coming down below...

Mike, you have an amazing gift, I thought of something and described it and you were able to post a pic (I don't know what you do for a living, but you could make a bundle as an internet psychic ). Yeah, that's what I was talking about, except it doesn't have the 'squeegee flap' on the rim.
Have you tried the 'techniques' I posted when using it?
What is it that makes it such a PITA? - I may be able to help.
Also Larry's choice is my #2 for leaf removal.

Hope you can rid yourself of those persnickity leaves!!
[edit]BTW, getting the leaves off of the solar cover can be even worse

how does the leaf bagger work w/ the water hose?? How is it hooked up and what makes the leaves go into the leaf bagger?


Where can I get one at or what does it look like???

Thanks again!!

Mike, not sure where to get one (Walmart, Home Depot ?). It's ~18" round with 4 wheels, a pole connection and a female hose connection. It works like the polaris, ie venturi action from the hose, pulls leaves etc into the big mesh bag. In fact it's basicly a garden hose driven polaris that you have to direct around the pool with the pole. Perhaps Larry can clarify for me.

yes i have it here in my hand, its13 inches wide, 6-7 inches. high, leaf net goes around the top white ring, it goes on your pole , the end of your hose just goes onto the fiting on the base of the bagger, water jets up the bagger netting and the leaves follow its just that simple , bought it at the pool store.

I've yet to see one in any pool store in my area (NC).
