Pool leaf skimmer

A deep model with a polyester bag and beveled edge is the right solution for collecting large amounts of debris without losing it when pulling back. Unlike flat surface nets, these heads retain large leaves, branches, and plant debris as the pole moves across the pool floor.

The Starpool Deep Leaf Rake has a shape designed specifically to make it easier to collect debris from the bottom and prevent the skimmer baskets from becoming overloaded.

The technical difference lies in the profile of the structural frame and the depth of the collecting mesh.

• Surface models have a flat frame with taut mesh flush with the water, so they glide quickly across the surface to catch insects and floating dust.
• Deep models feature a beveled front lip that scrapes the floor and a deep bag that holds up to several kilograms of leaves without letting them escape in the water flow.

Choosing the right type prevents wear to the mesh and speeds up daily manual pool cleaning.

All models in our catalog feature the standard universal coupling system, compatible with telescopic poles 28 to 32 millimeters in diameter. They are usually secured with internal double-button pressure clips or wing nuts, depending on the design of the attachment handle.

Options such as the Starpool-Blue Deep Leaf Rake are directly compatible with conventional handles on the European market, with no need for additional mechanical adapters or tools for assembly.

Professional heads use thermoplastic polymer or anodized aluminum frames combined with high-density polyester mesh treated to resist ultraviolet radiation. These materials prevent galvanic corrosion caused by dissolved salt at standard concentrations of 3 to 5 grams per liter and withstand peaks in free chlorine without becoming brittle.

To maximize its service life during the 2026 maintenance cycle, we recommend rinsing the net with fresh water after collecting leaves following shock treatments or pool winterization.

There is no risk to plastic linings or paint if you use a model with rounded perimeter edges and a virgin polypropylene body. These heads have no sharp metal edges at the points of contact with the walls or floor.

The curve of the front edge lifts settled dirt through smooth mechanical support. This removes small stones and branches without causing abrasive friction on the flexible PVC or wearing down the seals.

Preventive mesh maintenance requires controlling the load volume per sweep and avoiding prolonged drying in direct sunlight.

• Avoid lifting large stones or sharp objects that exceed the mechanical strength of the textile weave.
• Empty the net by gently tipping it over the waste bag instead of hitting it against the coping edge or outdoor paving.
• Keep the accessory in the shade during periods of inactivity to preserve the flexibility of the polyester mesh.
