POOLWHALE Pool Skimmer Leaf Rake Net, Deep Nylon Bag
Product Information, Not A Review
Quick Specs
What Stands Out
What To Check
Texas pools eat oak leaves, june bugs and whatever the dogs drag in off the grass. A flat skimmer handles the surface, but the sunken load needs a deep bag, and that is what this rake is. The frame is molded plastic with rounded borders so it will not mar a liner, and the mesh bag runs 14 in deep so you are not emptying it every third pass. It sits number one in Amazon's category for pool rakes, skimmers and nets.
Fit note before you order. The pole is not included. This head fits a standard 1-1/4 in pool pole, so check what is in your shed first. The listing also carries several versions, including a flat skimmer and a bundle with a pole, so confirm the option is the deep bag rake.
The Numbers That Matter
14 in of bag depth. That is the number that decides how many trips you make to the trash can. A shallow net fills on the first pass under a tree.
A beveled leading edge. Sunken leaves sit flat on the floor. A blunt frame pushes them, a beveled one gets under them.
The weighted lip. Buoyant frames float up off the bottom exactly when you need them down. The plastic block at the lip fights that, and it gives you something to tip against when you dump the load.
| Spec | What it decides |
|---|---|
| 14 in deep bag | How often you stop to empty |
| Beveled edge | Whether it lifts floor debris or shoves it |
| Weighted lip | Whether the frame stays down on the bottom |
| 1-1/4 in pole fitment | Whether your existing pole works |
Who It Is For
The dad who owns the pool and does the pool work, with trees overhead and dogs in the yard. Keep the pole low when you carry it, because backyard power lines and a lit grill are the usual mistakes, and keep kids clear of the swing radius. For a quick bug scoop by the back door, the TidyMister handheld net is the short-handle version. To stop hair and sunscreen at the basket, add Coopache skimmer socks. Once the water is clear, the Aqua Monterey hammock float is what you get in with.

The Short Version
The deep bag rake is the tool that clears the bottom of the pool rather than skating across the top of it. If your yard drops oak leaves and june bugs all week, this is the head to put on the pole you already have. Confirm the frame size and that the link lands on the deep bag version before ordering.
