I am having a hard time keeping up with the elm leaves coming in from my neighbor's tree lately. We've had a lot of wind and rain, and the skimmer mat clogs with the leaves frequently. I've found it a couple times struggling and sucking air because it was plugged to the point that it prevented enough water to get to the pump.
I wondered if any of you use the skimmer brushes that hang down as opposed to using a mat? I've read that supposedly they catch all the leaves and debris as well as a mat, but still allow the water to pass, preventing the pump from being starved of water. I would really love to know your experience, and if this is true. We are going on vacation soon, and will be gone for a week. I hate the thought of my pump burning up, and I'm willing to give these a try if they work.
Thanks for any input!
