I tried the leaf net. Once...two years ago. It ended up getting so overloaded with water-logged leaves and
debris that it was impossible to remove without dumping most of the stuff back into the pool. It seems like
it would only be useful if I wanted to empty it every day or so or if it was on top of some other cover that
kept the leaves out of the water. I have the same issue with tree litter twice a year - right now I seem to be
on the tail end of the Spring season shedding.
