Depends on what you need. If you are trying to skim floating things off the water surface, then upwards as you described. But, if you are adding chemicals, I think it is better to aim it more downward.

I think we have the pool in good shape now. I think the floating stuff is airborne and landing in the pool. Thanks for your help
Really?
Cottonwood?
Your IP address says you're around Phillie. Is that right?
Cottonwood (Populus deltoides) is pretty uncommon there, as it is here. But it will grow, and I've located a couple of stands. Good grief those seeds go EVERYWHERE.

I'm about 40 miles from Philly. I don't know what the stuff if. I'll try to get a picture.

If it's cottonwood fibers, you should be able to net it with a fine kitchen strainer.

Most likely pollon. Disappeared after we swam today.
