It's POOL TIME...by yourself

[Dan Hunter]

I've always been frustrated by organic litter entering my pool. My sculper just can't keep up. I built a jet that plugs in to where the pool sweep attaches. It enhances the circular motion of the water in the pool and blasts material floating on the surface into the net. It's quite efficient.

Our above ground pool return is quite powerful. It makes a nice lazy river in our pool. When we're not in the poo, I put a pool noodle in the skimmer and it guides everything in there quite well.

Yes, definitely stay away from the poo...

Great idea, but doesnt your pool have a skimmer with a hinged door that traps all those nasty floaty things?

Yes, but it's tremendously less efficient than the net and keeping trash out of the plumbing reduces backwash frequency.
