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
