    I think the idea is that you could rig it up before the skimmer, I would not do it in front of it, if it clogs up too much then it could stop the water from going in and burn up the pump.

    Yes basically the same problem I have now. The quantity of critters I have now would stop the flow through the leaf rake and then divert them to the skimmer it would buy some time though. I never know when they will hit. I checked the skimmer at noon and had none two hours later I had both the skimmer and the pump basket full. I have to go check it again it will be the third time to empty the basket at least I have the skimmer sock on so I don't have to empty the pump basket. At least I know with all the great folks here we will find a solution.
    thanks
