Leaves on bottom of pool

[CarlD]

Pool_Mike: A leaf bagger is FAR cheaper than a solar cover. If you are getting lots of leaves, I'm guessing you are in a climate where you have to close your pool for the winter. If you use your solar cover in cold to freezing temps, you'll ruin it. It gets stiff and inflexible and, with ice, the bubbles burst.

There are leaf nets that you can get instead that aren't expensive and will catch the vast majority of leaves.

When and if you use a leaf bagger, take care that you don't drag it across the bottom of a vinyl-lined pool--my husband did, and we ended up with two large tears.

Hey all, well I got myself the leaf catcher, just like this one
and it is working out really well. As for that tip, thank you. I actually see it being better used if you get the "LC" (leaf catcher) to got right over the spot w/ the leafs that are on the bottom. I don't see it being easier that use the little rollers on the bottom of the LC to help it much. Kind of like using it as a stomper/picker-upper

Thanks my leafs horror catching days are over.


Hey anyone want to buy a brand new solar cover??? (not used)
