I was back in pool cleaning mode today. The leaves that made it in the pool through the torn flap made a mess on the bottom & sides. I had pulled out the pressure washer on Tuesday & the wand lasted about 10 minutes and trigger quit engaging. Oh well, new wand arrived today at lunch and the pool is now clean again. I stopped for the day about 4PM and have the residual water draining. Tomorrow, Ill clean out the leaves & stuff that falls in overnight, check the varied fittings on the pump & filter. So, about 15000 gallons later, I might be in business. Wish me luck.
Fortunately living in south Mississippi we had a screen pool enclosure installed a few years ago, eliminated the leaf problem in the pool and the deer fly/horse fly/wasp problem. It was expensive but definitely worth the cost. The only problem is the water stays much cooler with the screen cutting down on the UV reaching the pool.

We had one of them around 2 sides of the pool in a house we rented in Florida for a week. The other 2 sides were the outside walls of the house.
We just had the first test of our new robotic pool cleaner; it appears to work great! I am normally a little skeptical of these things as our last two, though they received good Sam*s reviews, worked only marginally. They vacuumed ok but would regularly get stuck. Our new one is a Aiper Seagull Pro from Amazon and does an excellent job. I took it off the battery charger this morning, stuck it in the pool and waited. It took it a minute or so to get started but then made regular passes, both long & short axis and cleaned the bottom well. The best part was that it picked up the tiny acorn nut pieces without any problem; I didnt see even one on the bottom afterwards. I left it in the pool for about an hour or so & then cleaned the screen. Well repeat the process tomorrow & see how it does but so far I am impressed. I did want to pass along this information in case someone else is looking. Maybe this will help.
