My second summer with Intex 32 x 16 pool. Oak trees are dropping so much debris and pollen in my pool! (They are not even right over pool, just blowing in, I guess)
Do you think a bubble or other cover would be worth it to cover between swimming. Just wondering how much of a hassle it is to take off and put back such a big cover…. Is there a roller up thing as an option. Anyone have one to reccomend?

Also, can I put 2 debris baskets in the pool. There are 2 outtake lines.

Last question;
Vaccums, anyone know of a reasonable priced automatic vacuum that would work with this pool?

Thank you!!!

Any advice is appreciated!!!

We use a solar cover on our in-ground pool, and we recover after each day swimming. I wouldn't say it stops ALL the debris, but certainly a portion of it lands on the cover, and gets rolled-off when we roll up the cover before swimming. Not perfect for sure. We use the cover more to retain the pool temperature, especially in the early spring and late fall when Michigan temps aren't conducive to warm water ;)

As it's inground, we can use a roller-thingy to assist - takes the wife and I literally 1 minute to roll up, and 30 seconds to put back on.

I bought a Betta robot skimmer this season. I keep it in the pool all the time so my skimmer basket doesn’t get overwhelmed.
 
A solar / bubble cover will keep a lot of debris out of your pool. Until you take it off, and then it all falls into your pool - but you can then skim it by hand. They can be a bit of a pain to take off and put on, but I think they are worth it.
