Check the dragonfly pulse surface cleaner, dragonfly.biz or its price when compared to other pool cleaners is very competitive, and it really does work. The Dragonfly is a floating swimming pool skimmer originally designed to cope with the problem of pools having the static skimmer placed in the wrong position in relation to where the prevailing winds blow floating debris. When set up properly It will pick up approximately 98% of leaves and gross floating material and an even better percentage of fine dust seed pollen and industrial fallout. It is able to do this so effectively because it constantly pulls a fine skim of water from the surface of the water this bring about a situation where the surface tension of the water is constantly pulling towards the skimmer. Currents in pools can be set up to further encourage materials flowing towards the Dragonfly. In some instances it can be of advantage to tether the skimmer in place and utilizing existing water currents. A floating pool skimmer also has the advantage of never being out of adjustment as it rises and falls with the water level during rainy or dry periods. This sort of skimmer can ultimately save a pool owner water as it unnecessary to top it up when there is a water shortage or vice-versa in case of very rainy periods.

Regardless of the position of any tiles on the pool wall The water level should be about 3 or 4 inches / 75-100mm above the top of the skimmer vein before the skimmer basket or at such a level that it does not suck air through the skimmer. of you have a suction side floating pool skimmer you can let it get as high as you like and as long as it is sealed properly as low as you like.

Does skimmer location matter on an in ground pool?

Yes it can make a big difference to the amount of floating debris and dust that sinks into your pool. The ideal place for the static skimmer in a pool is down stream from the return jets (These are the jets that return filtered water to the pool) and down wind from the prevailing winds, this can be a bit more difficult to work out as the wind direction over a pool is strongly influenced by the building surrounding it. The fact is that very few pool builders get it right. if the skimmer ends up in the wrong position there is always the option of using a floating swimming pool skimmer skimmer. this type of skimmer is set to the suction of the pools filtration system and connected via hose to the vac plate over the leaf basket, It can be fastened in place or left to float free in the pool and will keep working regardless of water level, Check out the link below on floating skimmers
