We are in the middle of Oklahoma where the wind does a lot of sweeping down the plains. We have been told by serval folks that if your pool is exposed to the wind and you are have a lot of it, then you want two skimmers, one for summer winds, in our case south wind, and one for the winter wind, in our case north wind. If you don't have a lot of wind, than it probably is not an issue.
