Leaves In Your Pool?

A Pool Full Of Debris
Gonna need a bigger net

Leaves, pollen, dog hair, oh my. The pool takes a beating this time of year (and throughout spring). The wind picks up. Leaves are blowing all over the place. The pool guy gets soaking wet from the rain, so he doesn't skim the leaves out of the pool (guilty, but also reasonable, right?). Power lines go down, cutting off electricity to the pool equipment, which messes everything up. Debris removal from the pool may be more important than you think. Leaves and organic material break down into phosphates, feeding algae growth when the water warms up. If you get a significant algae infestation, getting the pool swimmable will take several hundred dollars and up to two thousand dollars in chemicals and labor.


In Spring and Summer, pollen from various trees falls into the pool. Pollen looks a lot like algae. It also destroys chlorine because chlorine tries to oxidize it, killing itself in the process. Dog hair is another issue. According to Chlorine manufacturer HASA, one dog is equal to up to 50 humans when it comes to releasing contaminants into pool water. Most of that would be dog hair, hopefully...


What can be done? Considering all debris enters the pool from the surface, my personal and professional recommendation is to buy a solar skimmer. My favorite solar skimmer is the BETTA SE SOLAR SKIMMER. Here's why:

The Beta SE Solar Skimmer
The Beta SE will remove all kinds of debris

  • Solar-Powered Efficiency: Betta SE stands out as a beacon of eco-friendliness, running entirely on solar power. Its high-capacity lithium battery, charged by a robust solar panel with a corrosion-resistant surface, ensures a constant stream of energy, providing a clean and clear pool without environmental guilt. This also means your solar skimmer will run even when the pool equipment is off. You could run your pool equipment for less time, meaning your electricity bill will be lower. Some customers have reported saving over $100 monthly in electricity after purchasing a solar skimmer and reducing the pool equipment run time (savings will vary from pool to pool).

  • Smart Auto Clean: The Betta SE's intelligent auto-clean feature effortlessly handles floating debris such as leaves, dust, pollen, dead insects, and pet hairs. Sit back, relax, and let Betta do the work. Your pool guy will love you for it, too, and he will have more time to focus on chemical issues rather than cleaning up debris.

  • Large Easy-Clean Basket: Cleaning your pool has never been easier. The Betta SE has a top handle and fine mesh filter, allowing you to empty the debris basket without removing it from the water. Effortless maintenance means more time enjoying your pool and less time dealing with upkeep. We include emptying the basket as part of our service.

  • Versatile Pool Compatibility: Whether you have a saltwater or a chlorine pool, Betta consistently delivers exceptional cleaning performance year-round. Embrace the flexibility to enjoy your pool without worrying about the type of water it holds.

  • Ultrasonic Radar Sensors: Experience the future of pool cleaning with Betta's ultrasonic radar sensors. These advanced technologies detect obstacles, guiding Betta to clean every inch of your pool without hassle. Even if it gets stuck on pool steps, it usually frees itself; however, a simple nudge or a water top-up could be beneficial.

  • UV Resistant Body: Betta is built with UV-resistant coating and materials. Shielded from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation, your Betta SE will stand the test of time, ensuring years of reliable pool cleaning performance.

  • Cordless with Remote Control: Say goodbye to cumbersome cables that tangle and get in the way. Switch effortlessly between automatic and remote control usage with Betta's wireless remote control feature. Convenience is at your fingertips, making pool maintenance a breeze.

  • Warranty for Peace of Mind: Your investment in Betta SE comes with a one-year warranty, providing peace of mind and assurance in the quality of your purchase. For extended coverage, two-year and three-year warranties are available for sale, ensuring your pool stays pristine for years.


Conclusion: Elevate your pool experience (and show some love to your pool guy) with the Betta SE Solar Powered Automatic Robotic Pool Skimmer. Embrace the future of pool maintenance and relish every moment in your pristine oasis. Unfortunately, we do not sell the Beta SE (as of this time, that is). However, they are available for purchase via Amazon (with a $190 off sale going on now). Use the link to learn more.
