Nets

[tcat]

Anyone make like a 4' wide net? I had this clean 1 hour ago, then the wind blew. This oak pollen cr@p is a pain. 25% of it sinks, 25% of it dissolves and greens up the water and clogs the filter.

I hear ya! I have tall Italian Cypress on one end of my pool, and the water is covered. Took me several passes with my net to get it all. Ugh.

I just filled a 40 gallon container, and it's still falling! Think I'll cover the pool next year. Real pain since it's a multilevel kidney.

Just wait for one of those years when live oaks drop four times the normal acorns.

Neighbors to the south have a huge tree that is absolutely decimating our water with today’s high winds.

Love , hate relationship with our tree's. Love the shade in our Texas summers, hate the pollen this time of year.

Rakes

Just make sure you get the correct bag for your application (fine mesh, vs leaf bag, etc.)

Decided to start building a cover for next fall. This oak pollen is really bad. Next it's acorns. I think leaving a cover on until May 1st might be the best solution. Fabbed one 3 ft section today, pretty cheap! Will buy a fine mesh cover.
