2 IN 1 Pool Leaf Catcher with Animal Saving Escape Ramp, Floating Leaf Net Skimmer Cleaner for Pool Surface Cleaning, Pool Critter Escape Ramp Accessories Above Ground Pool Leaf Skimmer(Classic Style)

I have a lot of oak trees in my yard so there’s always pollen and leaves floating on top of the water in my pool. These causes the filter to have to be cleaned more frequently and many times clog up the automatic cleaner that runs along the bottom. This product worked great for catching the stuff floating on the top of the pool before it hits the skimmer or floats to the bottom to get caught by the automatic cleaner. Super easy to set up. Would definitely recommend this to anyone having the same issue.

I purchased one of these to try and remove leaves before they got to my skimmer, the idea is great but it doesnt really work, as the leaves approach, they curve around the device and keep going, there is too much back pressure that the water flows around it, I think the back net is too dense meaning the water cant flow through easy enough - I think I'll try and cut the back out and replace with a wider mesh as I really want this to work and the concept is great. It may work with less water flow?

Effective, but like all things exposed to pool water and sunlight I expect this will dry rot.

The instruction set asks to provide comments for improvements, but offers no contact methodology, so opting to provide comments in this review - hopefully the company gets these comments. They may want to consider adding a bit more to the instruction sheet in the future, including at least an email address if not a web site with a contact page on the site.1) the placement of the round "floats" at the top of the net are a bit off. They tend to hold the top of the overall compartment right at water level - no room between the water level and the top of the net housing. Thus, some debris doesn't make it inside the net.2) Something tends to cause water flow to go around the overall housing instead of through. I watched as debris was floating straight up along the pool wall then as it approached this net it suddenly started veering outward and went around the housing. Some debris did stay inline and ended up being captured within the net. I am not able to discern what caused some of it to flow out around the net.3) The "stick" to prevent it from deforming is quite difficult to get through the intended area of the piping surrounding the net opening. The pocket in said piping should be a little bit larger. It should also be able to be inserted from either end of said piping to accommodate individual pool setups. My pool ended up with the excess of the stick on the side near the pool wall - I was concerned with this possibly being able to cause damage to the vinyl liner.Otherwise it works OK. It has helped minimize how much debris ends up in the skimmer.

I looked forward to receipt of this product, but when we used it, the fabric was too tightly woven to have water flow through - consequently, leaves and small debris went around the outside and on to the skimmer. Thus, it defeated the purpose of collecting that debris before it reached the skimmer, leaving us to continually pull out the skimmer basket to empty it now that leaves are beginning to fall. Also, it may have worked better if the 'bridge' from the device to the edge of the pool had been longer and the 'box' opening be higher out of the water in order to catch the floating leaves. Hard to describe, but it didn't work as well as another skimmer we had for several years before UV light caused it to deteriorate. We may keep it and try to do some adjustments to it. Not a total waste of $$, but not worth this cost!

I was surprised by the number of negative reviews. I think the seller may have been a little zealous in describing what and how the leaf skimmer works. The bottom line is that it works great at keeping leaves from cloging my skimmer/filter.. 'Ive designed and built sevveral similar items but I can not build one for $30 .Buy this but don't expect it to do more tham ot is designed however it will help you in keeping leaves from stopping up you

NO! Unfortunately the product does not do what it is intended to do. Placed in our pool, has been moved to several different locations over several days. Placed in front of pool skimmer facing the flow of water coming from water filter . Place in front of skimmer on both sides of the pool. Even though water flowed into the leaf collector no leaves entered. It is totally ineffective. Great idea, now you need to figure out how to make it work or cease selling it. Do you offer refunds when your product fails?

Got this for my 82 yr parents and the neighbors large tree that sheds on my parents side and ALWAYS ends up in the pool. He can’t spend everyday scooping leaves out the pool cause they clog and will make the motor burn up. This item amazed me; we put it in the past ok with sand weights on the surrounding cement in front of the intake flaps and guess what IT CATHES THEM ALL! Now we just dump the leaves from the netting and replace back into the pool! PERFECT GIFT /ADDITION TO YOUR POOL CLEAN UP! Recommend to everyone I know that has a pool.
