These leaves are small and may be a leak in an instant connect. I found a very effective way to get them to clean without climb a ladder. I think only the hose until the descent, as far as she could and sprinting. Yes, usually not splash a little, but the leaves would steal the top fast-free. I miss, because it was kind of fun!

Vacuum extension

Many people meet their pools in winter. It is a good idea to keep the leaves. Of course, all the leaves that eventually the bottom of the pool very quickly accumulate in the indoor pool. You can either blow or suck if your hose to reach. You can also buy an extension for your vacuum or blower from a piece of PVC pipe. This material is lightweight and available in different sizes, so you're likely to find in a position to fit the end of the vacuum hose. Just be careful if you go this too far, or you might find yourself in the pool to yourself!
