can it pump wet leaves from my swim pool

It's listed as a "semi-trash" pump, so some amount of leaves shouldn't damage the pump. There are usually some leaves in the water I pump and they go right through. However, you won't be able to use an inlet screen or it will immediately block with leaves. You also MUST keep the inlet fully submerged or it will suck air and loose it's prime. You'll loose the prime if you try to pump leaves near the surface.

Your pool holds around 13500 gallons and the rating for that pump is up to 25000 gallons. By rating it should do a great job. It works well on my 18' pool.

It should work fine. The basket inside the holder will hold a lot of pine needles due to its size. My pool gets a lot of maple leaves and red bud leaves in the fall of the year. This device will hold a lot of leaves before you have to empty it. It will holds much more leaves than the standard skimmer basket which keeps me from emptying it as often. I believe it should hold a lot more pine needles than large leaves. I say go for it. Hope this helps in making your decision.

It uses a hose to push debris into a net. I dont think it would be able to scrape the algae the way a suction vac would. But maybe you could get into the pool with a mop to break it up first and between the intex cleaner and the filter it would clear it.

Yes it is, just be sure it's on a level surface (I set mine on a couple of pavers next to the pool) and also that you have the proper amount and type of filter sand before hand. A warning: I don't believe the pump is strong enough to operate a pool vacuum.

I have a 7X5X1.5 mts swimming pool and it works perfectly with a 2 horse power pump; it does not filter the very fine dust though as none of the sand filters do, it is much easier to clean and wastes less water than sand filters. You can remove the very fine dust that remains on the bottom of the pool with a slime bag installed on the return line.

The pump is a submersible pump. It's intake is so large that I don't think you could use it out of water if you tried.

no it works with the suction from your filter pump. connect to the skimmer or if u have a independent suction pipe in the middle of your pool then ajust valves for maxperformance.

The Poolcleaner is the vacuum that sucks debris up from the bottom of the pool. Your pool's plumbing has a basket to catch this stuff. However if you have any tall trees nearby, that's probably too much for that basket to handle. So, you will need the leaf canister if that's the case.

yes but it will take a very very long time, take the volume of the pool and the hose size 3/4 inch and multiply. Unless time is not of essence. It would be better to use a 1 1/2 sump drain pump which is not that much more expensive. when the pool gets down to a couple inches of water then use the zoeller pump to remove the remainng water.

Probably not. The experience I have is that the mud and leaves will clog the impeller and the pump will get hot and you may damage the pump. You need a trash pump.

As long as the pump has enough power to circulate the top of the pool water it will work fine. This is strictly a skimmer so it must have some form of top water movement. The blue part of the skimmer floats on the top of the water. When the pump is turned on it drops into the water just a smidge which is how the water is skimmed.Hope this helps

I use mine to pump water to a water slide going into the pool. Based on what I've seen, I doubt it has enough flow to vacuum the pool.

Sorry, No, absolutely not. It is very small ( gravity fed flow like a garden hose) and would take the entire summer to empty a pool of any substantial size. Hope this helps

Yes. You have to continue pumping the handle just like you would with an air pump for bikes. This bilge is very capable and can extract large volume of water in short amount of time.

you could use it all the time but you would want to have a separate vaccumme hole in your pool because if you connect it to the skimmer, you will not get any of the top leaves etc off. also, it does pick up leaves and such, but i would recommend the leaf attachment which is sold separately.

Yes, i use an electric air pump that I use to fill anyhting from air matress, boating tubes and pool floats
