HYDROTOOLS By SWIMLINE 8040 Leaf Net For Inground Above Ground Pool Pond | Extra Large Skimmer Net Cleaning Tool & Ultra Fine Deep Mesh Bag | Durable Reinforced Plastic Frame | For Debris Bugs Pickup

This is my second purchase of this great net. My original net lasted 5 years and then started showing signs of wear and tear. This net is fantastic for skimming leaves off the surface of my in-ground pool, as well as going deep and scooping up debris from the bottom of the pool. I have a Polaris vacuum sweeper as well, but I like the idea of eliminating as much debris as possible from the bottom of the pool to preserve the health of my automatic sweeper. Highly recommend this deep leaf net for its effectiveness, ease of use, great cost and longevity.

Nice and strong. Makes it easy to sweep the leaves into the net.

I have bought several pool rakes from my local pool supplier but I think this one is better. Theirs have a stiffer plastic net which has its plus and minuses. They do not seem to last very long and are harder to empty. Seems I am lucky if they last the season due to sun and heat here in Texas. This rake on the other hand has a softer bag and is easy to rotate shake it and dump out which makes cleaning leaves out much faster. I was concerned with the frame being plastic but after using it the frame is very strong and no issue. I just hope it will last a full summer here and time will tell. I think after using it though that will not be a problem. Over all do not hesitate to purchase this as I will buy another when I wear this one out.

Works as designed, makes pool cleaning easier

The net is nice. Much broader than my previous one. Good quality

This is the best of it's type. We love it.

If you have heavy bottom leaves, you know you need good "net technique" and "pole skills" to efficiently get leaves in the bag. I hate doing the job, but it can be done more quickly if I poke, push, pull, lift, and twist the net correctly like some kind of Jedi Master. I've developed these skills over many pool seasons. But the design of this deep bag rake has me confounded. Read on...The net's shortcomings are discovered when netting leaves flat on the pool bottom. I'll agree with another reviewer that said you need to find just the right angle to coax the leaves over the rim's leading edge and into the net. Secondly, the bag's large size is nice, but because the net mouth is also large (from front to back), many leaves already scooped up can escape back out if it gets too full (while doing the aforementioned expert net moves). So the deep-bag advantage is nullified because I still have to empty it frequently to prevent losing captured leaves.This rake still has some pros. For the price, the material and construction are ok. The net needs to be sheer to capture smaller debris, so keep that in mind and don't drag it across the pool deck, etc. It's delicate, but no more so than any other net I've used. The net is wide and holds a lot and this makes it great for scooping up floating leaves like a champ.I'm using it a lot, but it still frustrates me when trying to scoop the straggler leaves on the bottom. Too many leaves are getting passed over and it burps out before it's really full. I don't think I'll get this design again.

This net is the best. Why ? Because after you have collected the leafs from your pool? I just hold it up over my fence. I then quickly rotate it such the the net with the gunk swings and ends up above with the net opening face downwards and then the net falls through the opening while turning inside out in the orders and dumping all the gunk on the ground. So it’s really east to empty it. This is the only rake that work like this.

Well this is the second time I’ve purchased this item and while it works great. The looking pins on this one seem to be very finicky looks like it’s a bit defective.

I can clean the entire pool in one shot before emptying the skimmer. The mesh collects debris very well. I am very satisfied.
