3. Operation
3.1 Basic Usage
The ROTORS Pool Skimmer Net is designed for easy and efficient debris removal. Follow these steps for optimal performance:
- Submerge the Net: Gently lower the skimmer net into the water, ensuring the entire mesh is submerged beneath the surface.
- Sweep Motion: Use a smooth, sweeping motion to guide the net through the water, collecting leaves, insects, and other floating debris. For best results, sweep from one end of the pool to the other.
- Empty Debris: Once the net contains a significant amount of debris, lift it out of the water. The fine mesh is designed to trap small particles while allowing water to pass through.
- Dispose: Invert the net over a waste bin or designated area to empty the collected debris.
- Repeat: Continue skimming until the water surface is clear of unwanted particles.

4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and effectiveness of your ROTORS Pool Skimmer Net.
- Rinse After Use: After each use, thoroughly rinse the net with fresh water to remove any chemical residues, dirt, or small particles trapped in the mesh.
- Inspect Mesh: Periodically inspect the fine mesh for tears, holes, or excessive wear. A damaged mesh may reduce skimming efficiency.
- Check Handle Connection: If using with a telescopic pole, ensure the connection point remains secure and free from cracks.
- Storage: Store the skimmer net in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals when not in use. This helps prevent material degradation.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on the net or handle, as this can damage the materials.
