About This Product

For removing sunken leaves and debris, this heavy-duty leaf rake is designed with an extra-strength aluminum inner core for maintaining its shape throughout the life of the rake. The close-mesh net measures over 16 in. In length to gather a healthy load of leaves. The close-mesh weave ensures a clean capture so smaller debris doesn't fall back into the water through the net. The perimeter PVC rim protects the pool wall, steps, or any surface from scratches or scuffs.

Highlights

  • Measuring almost 19 in. Wide and 16 in. High, this heavy-duty leaf rake is large enough to capture heavy loads of leaves that gathered along the top of pool's surface or have sunk to the bottom
  • A deep pocket features a close-weave net that measures over 16 in. High which allows you to capture large loads of leaves
  • The foundational core of the skimmer is constructed with heavy-duty aluminum to support the capture of large loads of leaves and debris and to ensure the skimmer maintains its shape
  • The entire perimeter of the skimmer is covered in a pvc framing that securely fits over the aluminum frame and ensures that no scratches or scuffs are made on the pool floor, walls, or steps
  • An extruded aluminum handle adds strength to the overall skimmer where it connects with your swimming pool pole - sold separately (store sku #568587 / model #61316 and #569049 / model #61308)
  • The handle sports a REINFORCEMENT CAP that bridges the frame and handle together providing extra support in a slick finished look
  • For use with standard 1 1/4 in. diameter swimming pool poles - sold separately (Store SKU #568587/ Model #61316 and #569049 / Model #61308)

      Q:Will the net last longer if: (1) I store it away from the sun or cover it? or (2) I rinse the net after using it?
      by|Sep 19, 2019

      Answer This Question

      A:  Either will help the net stay fresh, but the most important way to do it is to keep it covered and out of the sun when not in use. Fortunately, I store mine in the shade of a tree, hung up on a fence, so it gets protection from the east and the west. I have never rinsed my net and it has lasted fine being protected from the sun.

      A:  I don't believe either will help. What will help it last longer is prevent it from snagging on any sharp objects, and not allowing the mesh to rub against rough surfaces. I hang mine up horizontally at the side of my pool (in the sun and rain) in a location (off the floor/deck) where it is not abused, and it lasts reasonably long.

      A:  I keep my net stored out of direct sunlite in a shaded area

      A:  Thanks for asking! Yes to both - rinsing the net with fresh water after use and storing away from direct sunlight are excellent ways to extend the life of your skimmer net.

        A:  Yes, if you clean it with water from the hose, not the pool it will last longer. Sun destroys everything. Keep it stored out of the sun.

              by|Jan 29, 2019

              A:  Readily available at Home Depot or any pool supply place.

              by|Mar 7, 2019

              A:  Most any pool store will carry the pole. I haven't seen the poles in Home Depot. The connector ends are all generic sized and will match.

              by|Jun 26, 2019

              A:  The pole is actually available at Home Depot as well but they don’t carry a lot of them. First part of the season is the best time to pick one up

                This is a well made standard swimming pool leaf rake. It will get a lot of use in my Phoenix pool with all the trees around the pool. It's a well made product and I know I will get several years of service out of it.

                A nice Leaf Rake that works very well.
                I'm replacing a leaf rake that is perfectly fine but the net is so stiff that it is hard to empty and is a pain to use so when I had a chance to replace it, I jumped at it. This new net is much more pliable which make it easier to empty. The size and shape works very well for my inground pool. I use it frequently to remove the frogs that jump in the pool and this net does it without harm to them. Overall I'm very happy with the unit and I would recommend it.

                It was a replacement for one we already had. Only issue is the little knobs that must be pushed in to get old broken off and new one on. I have arthritis and it was miserable!

                Hi Todd,
                Sorry you are disappointed in the product.
                We would like to understand why you think it is not good and can't help but wonder if you will change your mind if you decide to keep and use. You will find it is made of top quality aluminum and has a nice deep net for capturing lots of leaves.
                Please let us know if we can answer any questions or call us simply to help us understand what you think is subpar about the item.
                We are here to help!

                The net is a decent quality and cheaper than the pool store.the isle filled up with carts and storage. I had to move things around to get to the net. Banged my leg and bleed.
