PoolSkim is great!

Sounds interesting, especially when I get a billion maple tree "helicopter" seeds in the pool.

One other question - how does it fair with rodents? I always seem to get a dozen or so of them in the skimmer during the course of a year. Does it pick them off and more importantly, do they damage the PoolSkim?

A potential new toy.....

Thanks

I dont know how you could hurt it other than dropping a heavy object or person directly on it.

Rodents would likely get trapped in the bag and drown in a swirly vortex of death. I get frogs sometimes that way.

Bag couldnt be easier to clean and I expect its going to last as long as the device itself. Even if it didnt last I'd still buy a new one every year now that I cant live without it. Anyways....mine is as the day I bought it.

Ya I get the bubbles too. doesnt hurt anything as far as I can tell.

Argh, those damn helicopters.
We've got two otherwise beautiful maples, one at either end, and one of those is upwind. I opened the pool in early april this year and the water's gotten up to 72 now just from the sun. But I've essentially shut the pool down until the 'whirligigs' have stopped falling. They've overwhelmed my ambitions, and the poolskim's. Yup, the poolskim will suck 'em up, but you'll soon wish it had a bigger bag. Also I've found they don't all sink equally and many will float around the top, so I scoop them out with the pole skimmer.

I don't think a rodent will get into the poolskim unless it actually climbs in. They float too far below the surface.
