Okay, back to complain again....lol. So, a huge storm blew through tonight and within 15 minutes, the entire surface of my pool is covered in leaves and pine straw. I plan to get out in the morning and start cleaning it all up. But, it looks more like a South Georgia lily pad pond than a swimming pool. Over half the surface is covered thickly in leaves and pine straw. Not a normal occurrence, but the wind was strong and really blew a lot in it.
Do I just skim it off with the leaf net, top and bottom and run my pool robot afterward, or do all of you have leaf vacuums? I've been reading about leaf vacuums and they seem to work great. I'm not sure about hooking up a hose to one, as that much fresh water may throw my water chemistry off.....I'm new at this, so that may be a ridiculous statement. There is also one called a Pool Blaster Leaf Vacuum that's battery powered and gets good reviews. Is this something I am going to want, or is it unnecessary?
