It doesn't matter the season or the weather, things fall into pools. Whether it's leaves that fell from a tree, a newspaper that the wind blew in, or a little bug that got lost, things seem to always get in the water when they're not supposed to. The Hydrotools Premium Leaf Skimmer can help you get all of that stuff out. This net can work with any shape or style of swimming pool. That said, it was designed specifically to work with residential backyard pools. You can attach it to most standard telescopic swimming poles, which makes it highly adaptable. Simply find a pole that works for your height and the size of your pool, and you have a skimmer that feels like it was made for you. With any skimmer net, the important thing is that it's fine enough to catch small debris, but not so fine that it's hard to move around. This net was made with a balance between these two things. The holes in the net are fine enough so that they can catch those little lost bugs while still allowing it to easily glide through the water. The net makes a square shape that measures 16 by 10 inches. That gives you over a square foot of area to work with, helping you cover more of your pool's water with each sweep. The worst thing that can happen when using your net is for it to break. Then you have to worry about broken pieces in your pool which you'll probably have to fish out with a different net. To avoid that whole scenario, this net is made with a aluminum. That helps keep it strong thorugh regular use. It's also made with a plastic safety bumper to keep that aluminum from scratching the side of your pool. With all of the chemicals, filters, and other things that go into pool maintenance, it can be easy to overlook the simple stuff. But with the Hydrotools Premium Leaf Skimmer, you can rest assured that the simple stuff will be done right.
