Swimline Hydrotools Leaf Net Pool Cover

No, this is a secondary leaf net designed to be placed on top of your existing winter cover. It acts as a debris filter to catch leaves and twigs, making it much easier to remove them before opening your pool.

The extra three feet of material provides the necessary overlap to drape over the pool edge and secure the cover properly using the included cable and winch system.

Yes, the mesh design is versatile enough to be used throughout the year. It is an effective way to keep debris out of your pool during the swimming season, especially if you have trees nearby that drop leaves or seeds.

The knitted polyethylene mesh is designed to be permeable, allowing water to pass through while trapping debris on the surface. This prevents heavy water buildup that could otherwise weigh down and damage a solid cover.

The cover is lightweight and designed for manual placement, making it manageable for one person. The included cable and winch system ensures a secure fit, though having a second person to help pull the cover taut can make the process faster.

While the material is treated to resist UV damage and maintain its integrity over time, all pool covers will eventually show signs of wear when exposed to constant sunlight. The 15-year warranty reflects the durability of the reinforced mesh fabric.
