Ok I am risking putting my head on the block here but..........if you have lots of dropped leaves and need to run the pool vacuum constantly then your skimming action isn't working very well. After all skimmers don't work at all if the pump is off. Is it cheaper to run the pump for skimming than it is to run the vacuum constantly? Sorry if I have taken you literally but just trying to get the picture.

Happy new year to all, In case I can't log in again until afterwards.
