When high winds are blowing a lot of debris into the pool, would it be a good idea to turn off the pump, and avoid having the skimmer get clogged? Yes, I could increase my cleanout routine, but we're talking about having to do that 3 times or more each day the wind is blowing. It's a LOT of debris.

Sure, that would be a reasonable response.

Can you adjust valves at the pad to pull a little from the vacuum leg ? That'll keep the pump from starving if the skimmers get too full.
The easy answer is to turn the pool off, but anything that gets waterlogged and sinks needs to be removed the hard way.

I have one and just finished doing a fair job of scooping out about 90%. The rest is smaller stuff and the crawler can handle that. Not an easy job, especially when the net I have is double layered for strength. Right, it takes a LOT of strength to move it through the water! hahaha
