A pole-clamping system including an upper-tubular-body, a lower-tubular-body, a locking-mechanism, an upper-foot, a lower-foot, and a pole-hook-mechanism. The pole-clamp system constructed with a net-positive-buoyancy such that the pole-clamp system floats in water. The pole-clamp system structured and arranged to be removably and adjustably insertable within a skimmer-inlet of a pool to hold a pool-accessory via the pole of the pool-accessory. The upper-tubular-circumference of the upper-tubular-body may be smaller in dimension than the lower-tubular-circumference of the lower-tubular-body such that the upper-tubular-body may be slideably insertable within the lower-tubular-body to allow for a variable-length of the pole-clamp system. The locking-mechanism selectively and securely locks the upper-tubular-body within the lower-tubular-body to maintain the variable-length of the pole-clamp system during use with the pole-hook-mechanism.

A managed water system can include a first body of water contained in a vessel. The managed water system can also include at least one sensor device that measures at least one parameter associated with the first body of water. The managed water system can further include a circulation system that circulates the body of water relative to the vessel. The managed water system can also include a controller communicably coupled to the at least one sensor device and the circulation system. The controller can control the circulation system, and receive measurements of the at least one parameter made by the at least one sensor device. The controller can also evaluate the measurements using multiple algorithms, and communicate a result of evaluating the measurements.

The present invention relates generally to the field of recreational accessories. More specifically, the present invention relates to a water surface skimmer device that has a frame assembly with at least one horizontal frame member, at least one vertical frame member, at least one angled corner member, at least one T-shaped member and a net. In addition, a mounting assembly is provided having a base and at least one horizontal frame member. The device also includes a mounting assembly that may attach to a deck, concrete walkway, or side wall of the water feature. In this manner, the device can be applied to any water feature such that debris may be collected from the water's surface.

An outdoor swimming pool underwater aquatic-bug trap comprising a container having opaque sidewalls, a rear wall, an inward tapering front wall composed of a material that allows for the passage of light therethough, an aquatic-bug holding chamber, an aquatic-bug entry orifice located in the front wall of the container, mounting means for mounting the container underwater to a wall of an outdoor swimming pool, and an aquatic-bug attracting light source for emitting light into the container to attract aquatic-bugs through the aquatic-bug entry orifice and into the aquatic-bug holding chamber.

A pool filtration system for filtering foreign matter such as leaves and other debris from a swimming pool includes a skimmer, a pump, and a return hose. The pump draws water from a swimming pool through the skimmer and out the return hose back to the swimming pool. The skimmer has a barrier filter for filtering out foreign matter. A weight is attached to a distal end of the return hose with respect to the pump such that the distal end of the return hose is maintained below a top side of a volume of water in the swimming pool.

An improved filter system and cover for a hot tub or pool are provided. The improved filter system includes a prefilter that is located between the interior of the hot tub and the traditional filter located within the hot tub. The prefilter allows leaves, bugs, and other debris to be removed from the hot tub before they enter the traditional filter contained within the hot tub. This improves the life of the traditional filter, while also improving the quality of the water contained within the filter which also means that less chemicals are required. Additionally, a cover is provided that allows a hot tub or pool to breathe after chemicals are deposited therein, while still preventing further leaves, bugs, and other debris from entering the hot tub.

A pool skimmer is disclosed that comprises a base component comprised of a bar with a U-shaped net component secured to it. The net component measures two to three feet wide and is comprised of fine, stainless-steel microns. A flexible, telescopic handle is then secured to the base component. The base component is placed inside of the swimming pool and comprises a flotation system to allow the device to be positioned halfway above the water level. The U-shaped net allows a user to capture small bugs, leaves, or other unwanted debris within the swimming pool quickly and efficiently.
