When I roll up my solar cover some leaves stay stuck on the cover and get rolled up, but some debris and many leaves just dump into the pool at the last turn of the reel. I see that Poolmaster sells a leaf catch that is weighted down on the pool deck. You sweep or hose the leaves and pine needles onto that before you roll up the end of the solar cover. Has anyone tried that and does it work for you? Does anyone have a DIY prevention of this leaf dump?
 
I always swept it with my pool brush to a spot I could reach and scooped it all off. I never got it all, but I got most of it.

*always be extra cautious kneeling or being near solar cover. One slip could make you an underwater burrito.
