Skimmer not catching debris floating on surface

[PoolDoc]

It seems to just float around randomly and not be pushed toward the skimmer.

If that's the case, then it may not be wind. You can always check by throwing some dry leaves on the pool, and then watching.

But . . . if it is random movement, then you may be able to at least partially solve the problem by aligning the jets to create a rotary current. If you can't swivel your eyeballs enough, you can purchase these:

I just ordered three of them. I'll probably be trying them next weekend.
Thank you.

Let me know how it goes, please.

Finally made it back.
I ordered and installed the three Hydrasweep jets. I had to remove two of them because they raised my pump pressure about 10 lbs.
I can't tell any real change using the one.
I'm just going to have to experiment with what I have and try to push the debris toward the skimmer.
Thanks again for your interest.

I'd take the other two and -- carefully -- use a Dremel tool, die grinder, wood rasp, or small coarse file to open the slot, till you achieve sufficient flow.

To stabilize the work, you'll probably need to screw the jet into a 1.5" FIP adapter on a piece of 1.5" PVC pipe.

I have rasps. I'll make that a weekend project.

Again, if you can, please post results.
