Pine Needles

[Hotziggity]

Hello,

I'm new to owning a pool and I have a pretty big pool with 44,000 Gallons. We have pine needles falling into the pool from our neighbors tree and we are having trouble getting them out. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get these out without spending 10 hours to do it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Craig

Welcome to TFP.

How many skimmers do you have? Do they have weir doors and capture the pine needles.

I have pine trees surrounding my pool. My skimmers get full of the pine needles and Zi need to empty them daily. Ones that fall onto the pool floor get picked up by my Polaris pool cleaner that runs daily.

Some days the skimmers are so full of pine needles more are floating on the surface and then it may tame me 15 to 30 minutes to skim the pool and get the needles with my pool net on a pole.
