I have a HUGE problem with my pool, namely, a monstrosity of a date palm that dumps debris into my pool daily. The tree is probably 50 feet high and has a frond-span of probably 25-30 feet from end to end. Last night I must have cleaned out over a hundred seeds that had fallen in a 24 hour period. As a result, I can't get my phosphates below 100ppm and have to shock the water often. This tree bane of my (pool) existence.
Short of installing a Florida Enclosure which I understand to be very expensive, does anyone have an good ideas on how to cover my pool from above? We had a tree trimmer come to clean the palm once, but after getting stabbed multiple times by the fronds and suffering significant blood loss, he cried and went home - unable to tame the beast. I also don't want to remove the tree since it does provide a ton of shade and really make the back years look spectacular. So, keeping those thoughts in mind, any input/ideas would be greatly appreciated!
