    I initially had the same problem with my SWCG system from Intex too. Even covered and skimming all the grass, tree junk or whatever before I do cover it for the night, I find that as soon I do uncover the pool say a day or two later, I generally have enough crud in the return cover to take it off and clean it. With your small pump, this will be the most critical factor for you. Great job of figuring that out!!

    Get that Taylor 2006C......it will afford you exacting test results so you can dial that pool in exactly where you want it.
