How often do you clean out your strainer basket at your main pump(s)? I have a one pump set up. I am just starting my second season of pool ownership. Last year I didn't even look at it for the first two months. I opened the pool at the end of April this year and have already cleaned it twice. Both times it had a fair amount of bugs, grass and little pieces of plaster in it. I clean my skimmer baskets about every two days. I would like to see how often the experts recommend doing this.
