the skimmer that is normally fitted with the pool is designed to take care of this problem, however it rarely does because more often then not it is int he wrong place in the pool or the water is too high as the result of rain or leaving the hose in too long or the water is too low for the skimmer to work properly. If one ends up being the victim of one of the above problems chances are that a floating pool skimmer would be the answer to the problem. The type of skimmer you are looking for is a suction side pool cleaner that plugs onto the vacuum plate over the leaf basket. once it is set up to the particular rate of the pool pump it will rapidly remove a large percentage of debris dust and insects from the surface of the pool. Hum, the problem with the above answer is that once the skimmer basket if full and or the pump basket is full or any of the above solutions then what. Best bet is to use your telepole and a leaf skimmer that attaches to the pole ( you can also use a "leaf rake" or net as they are sometimes called. With this method you exert some labor and remove most of the leaves at one session.
