Bonny pool skimmer net and deep bag leaf rake for efficient pool cleaning

Choosing the Right Skimmer Net and Leaf Rake for a Cleaner Pool

Leaves, bugs, and surface debris can quickly ruin the look and hygiene of your pool. That’s why agood pool skimmer netandleaf rakeare essential—whether you’re cleaning a home pool or managing a hotel facility. But not all nets are made equal. This guide explains what to look for and how Bonny products help you clean smarter, not harder.

Skimmer Nets vs. Leaf Rakes: What’s the Difference?

Pool Skimmer Net: Designed for surface cleaning. Typically shallow, lightweight, and fitted with fine mesh to capture small debris like bugs, hair, and pollen.
Leaf Rake for Pool: Built for heavier debris like leaves, twigs, and acorns. Comes with a deep bag and strong frame to handle weight.

For best results, use askimmer net daily, and aleaf rake weeklyor after storms and wind.

Key Features to Look for in a Skimmer Net

Fine mesh fabric: Captures even the tiniest debris floating on the water.
Tapered front edge: Allows easy gliding along the water surface.
Durable frame: Avoid cheap plastic that bends or cracks—Bonny uses reinforced ABS frames or aluminum rims.
Universal pole compatibility: Ensure it snaps into any standard telescopic pole.

Bonny’s skimmer nets are built to last a full season—or longer—with strong stitching and chlorine-resistant materials.

What Makes a Good Leaf Rake?

Deep mesh bag: Choose at least a 15” depth to collect large debris without frequent emptying.
Heavy-duty frame: Needs to hold weight without bending. Bonny leaf rakes use solid support ribs and molded edges for durability.
Angled design: Helps reach the pool bottom without effort. Look for rakes that scoop easily and don't flip over.
Mesh size: Medium mesh is best for leaves; finer mesh works for dirt, but may clog faster.

Bonny’s leaf rakes featurecurved lips for scoopinganddouble-stitched mesh, ideal for professional cleaning teams.

Tips for Pool Owners

Clean daily with a skimmer: Just 5 minutes a day keeps the water clear and reduces strain on filters.
Use the leaf rake after rain or wind: Heavy debris is easier to collect early, before it sinks.
Store tools properly: Always rinse after use and store in shade to extend lifespan.
Pair with a sturdy pole: A great net is only as good as the pole it's on—Bonny telescopic poles ensure stable control and reach.

Whether you're maintaining a spa, resort, or backyard pool, these small tools make a big difference in upkeep and guest satisfaction.
