For pools surrounded by trees, a leaf net cover could be a valuable addition. These tight mesh covers catch falling debris like sticks and leaves before they can land in your pool and accumulate on your winter cover. Leaf net covers seamlessly integrate into any winter care routine or can even be used during spring and summer, saving you hours of skimming or vacuuming the pool.
Simply, select your pool size, and start catching leaves as they fall. Remember to remove the leaf net before winter snow begins to fall. For top-quality leaf net covers, we recommend Buffalo Blizzard®. These covers feature several feet of overhang for easy attachment and a tight enough mesh to block debris.
If you dread finding leaves and other debris that bypass your solar or winter cover, a leaf net cover offers significant benefits. Depending on your pool's surroundings, it can effectively protect against potential damage from falling debris like sticks and other harmful objects blown into your pool throughout the season.
The answer depends on your location's winter conditions. In regions with little to no snow, you can leave the leaf net cover on your pool throughout the season. However, in areas with heavy snowfall, it's advisable to remove the leaf cover before the snow arrives. The weight of the snow can add pressure on the cover, potentially reducing its lifespan if not removed after most leaves have fallen. Once the snow melts, you can reapply the leaf cover to capture any spring blossoms.
It is not advisable to leave cover pumps and hoses outdoors once temperatures drop below freezing. Remove standing water while it is still liquid before the cold arrives. If melted snow refreezes, it can cause pumps to freeze up and become inoperable. Prompt water removal is recommended to prevent this.
