Dragon Fly Floating Skimmer Box Filter
This is the next item on my "Swimming Pool" wish list. The pool gathers a fair amount of pollen, leaves and insects, most of which float on the surface for a day of so before sinking to the bottom where they are collected by the Barracuda Captura Plus pool robot, (electric vacuum cleaner).
Pool: Barracuda Captura Plus
I am very impressed with my robot pool cleaner which I’ve had for a month or so and which does a great job cleaning the pool.
