I'm thinking of ordering Poolskim but I've got a bit of a situation that wouldn't be remedied by this product alone.
My pool was just de-greened, water is clear but cloudy. there are a lot of debris swimming about, built in skimmer just won't catch them for some reason. the debris will float on top of the skimmer box and not get sucked in. tried playing with the water levels, no go there...
So, what I'm thinking is this: Poolskim connected to 1 return line (i have two), but without the mesh net. Instead, I want to connect a Hayward W530 Large Capacity Leaf Canister to it, with its other end connected via hose with the built in skimmer suction line.
My concern is water circulation.... Essentially what I'm doing is cutting the water return rate in a half and creating a partially closed suction system. I know eventually all debris will fall to the bottom and I can use a vacuum to get to it, but this could help speed up the cleanup process.
On second thought... installing a Y splitter in one of the return lines then connecting the Poolskim to one of the branch-offs.
Or will the poolskim just work off of the suction created by the pump?
I got this idea after watching a couple of youtube videos about the dragonfly and poolskim.
