ABSTRACT:
A new Leaf Skimmer System for collecting debris and excluding debris from entering a conventional pool skimmer system thereby reducing the amount of manual removal of the debris from the pool skimmer system. The inventive device includes a rectangular frame, a reticulated netting enclosing the frame, a plurality of doors pivotally secured to the frame, a pair of support arms including a suction cup engaging a side wall of a pool, and a elongated hook member for engaging a pool skimmer. The netting collects and retains debris, such as leaves, before entering the pool skimmer. The netting includes a water passage corresponding to the pool skimmer for allowing smaller debris into the pool skimmer.
