worth the money,

Pros: This product is great in collecting wet leaves off of a winter cover.
Cons: There are no cons to this product. I would recommend this to anyone with a pool and leaves
"We have had a pool for almost 20 years but every spring we struggle with uncovering it. So this past fall we ordered a leaf cover that goes on top of the winter cover. It was easy to put on, and is amazing at getting the leaves off the pool. It was worth every penny that we paid. We have come to depend on InTheSwim for all our pool needs. We live in a rural area and pool supply stores come and go. But InTheSwim is there for us, 24/7 and their prices are as good as any place we have shopped. I try to look for specials so that I get free shipping and it comes really fast. You would be foolish to shop anywhere else. Just sign me A Satisfied Customer for 15 years and counting."

Pros: really saves time opening pool! keeps pool clear of leaves
Cons: none, this product was a great buy and a real time saver
"If you haven't invested in a leaf cover yet, I recommend you go for one. It is so easy to open the pool in the spring with no leaves and other debris to clear off the pool. I used some nylon cord to crisscross the pool for extra support under the leaf net. Works great."

Pros: Keeps leaves off cover, solar cover and out of pool
Cons: none
"We had one of these for over 10 years and had to purchase a new one this year due to some holes that were in it. We would never go without one again and were greatly surprised that In the Swim had them at such reasonable prices. Well worth the price and can used over the solar cover when a storm is coming to help in leaf removal. Great thing to have!"

Pros: Good job of catching most of the heavy leaf season debree
Cons: Must be removed before significant snow fall
"This product does a good job of catching the majority of the leaves which drop in teh early to mid Fall. Once the snows start to come it must be removed as it is not designed for heavy weight (nor is it advertised as such). Consequently, trees which drop their leaves late suc as Bradford Pears and Oaks, will not be caught. But it still catches a large majority of leaves thus making spring cleanup and opening much easier."

Pros: Ease of use!
Cons: None!
"We have several trees right around our pool, and the leaves were always clogging the filter. We found and bought this leaf net and have had no more problems with the leaves since! My husband can easily put it on by himself and hopefully, we'll never have that springtime mess of leaves to clean out again!"

Pros: saves backbreaking leaf removal
Cons: sorry I did not try it years ago
"I hesitated to try this but I figured at this price even if it helped a little it would be worth it. It worked 100% and I did not remove it until after the Spring debris was done falling from the many trees in my area. I rolled it off the pool, let it dry for a couple of days and the leaves came off with no problem leaving very little solid debris on the cover."

Pros: Durable, easy to install
"This is a great product, especially if you have trees nearby. We use it in the spring to catch those messy "helicopters" from our maple trees and in the fall to catch all of the leaves."

Pool Screen,
Date:December 14, 2008
By Sunnie
Pros: Easy setup
Cons: None
"We live out in the country, therefore we have a lot of trees. The leaves getting into the pool, make it hard to start the pool up in the spring. This screen has been a major help. The kids sure do appreciate pool getting cleaned more quickly in the spring. Thanks."

enjoying fall leaves now,

Pros: leaves blow over surface and no more leaf collections
"In the past I have hauled out wheelbarrels full of soggy leaves off of our winter pool cover in the fall. This year with the leaf catcher over our in-ground pool the leaves just continued to blow off with the autumn winds. No more raking leaves out of our pool and the rain water on top of the winter cover remains clear instead of turning brown from leaf decay. I am truely enjoying the fall colors now and anxious to open the pool next spring."

Love my leaf cover!,

Pros: Easy to handle, lightweight and easy to install.
Cons: I should have ordered one of these years ago!
"Love this lightweight leaf-catcher cover. It was easy to install, does a terrific job and looks nice.
It protects the regular winter cover and it is so simple to remove and flip the leaves off --if you don't have alot of trees you may not even need to flip - just keep it on awhile to protect your cover.
Thanks In The Swim for a fantastic product.

better than a winter cover,
Date:November 28, 2008
By junebug
Pros: lightweight, reasonably priced
"We have purchased 2 catchers in the past 6 years. The first one lasted 5 seasons. We use it instead of a plastic winter cover. It is easy to remove and we can open our pool for the summer as soon as the leaves have fallen.
Hint: We secure the catcher by placing S-hooks in the eyelets and tying with rope and then tie the rope to stakes driven into the ground.

"AN EXCELLENT BUY!",
Date:November 27, 2008
By SUMMERHONEY
Pros: "EASY TO USE AND REMOVE"
"The mesh leaf cather we put on top of our 20X40' inground pool is wonderful. We looked at it in the catalog for years but never purchased until this fall.."better late then never!" We waited until all the leaves had fallen, removed the mesh cover, and now our backyard looks clean & neat for the winter.
Imagine how many hours of clean-up we have saved
when opening our pool in late spring!!!
This product is highly recommended!!!!!
