I just bought myself a pool devil pro return jet skimmer. I read a few posts on here that spoke highly of it. I have a relatively large pool with only one skimmer port. Ultimately I want a robot, but I figure that for now if I can skim better it will keep the pool bottom cleaner without vacuuming quite as frequently.
One of my biggest issues is debris blowing in off the trees near the pool when a storm blows up...and lately they have been abundant!
I can only skim while the pump is running though. We have an old pump timer. It's hard wired into the wall with a dial on it and some little clips that say on and off. Y'all probably know what I'm talking about.
These days we seem to have smart everything. Is there something on the market that can replace this timer for me, or perhaps override it, and allow me to remotely start my pump with my phone through wifi and a hub or something like that?
For instance, while I'm at work, a storm pops up, I could start the pump immediately so I'm skimming to help gather the debris in the skimmer and the pool devil pro. Does any of this make sense, or is it crazy?
