The Leaf Catcher keeps your pool clear of leaves
A simple, lightweight device that uses your pool’s existing water flow to collect leaves fast—so you can enjoy the water instead of skimming it.
- Two sizes for large and small pools
- Fast setup, no tools or power required
- Stores easily when winter comes
Invented and tested by a pool owner tired of the “leaf nightmare.”
The Leaf Catcher at work, pulling leaves from the surface using the pool’s return flow.
How it works
The Leaf Catcher (LC) sits in your pool and lets the return water do the hard work. The faster the water flow, the faster the leaves are cleared.
Simple setup in minutes
-
1
Place the Leaf Catcher in the pool in front of a return nozzle or in the path of circulating water.
-
2
As water flows, leaves are pushed into the catcher instead of drifting across the pool.
-
3
Empty the collected leaves as needed. No electricity, no extra plumbing, no complicated parts.
Why pool owners love it

Built by a pool owner, for pool owners
The Leaf Catcher was created by William Blair to solve his own problem: a 20' × 40' pool surrounded by trees and buried in leaves. After testing and refining the design, he’s now sharing it with other pool owners and pool supply stores.
Designed for real-world pools
The LC was tested in a heavily wooded backyard where leaves used to be a nightly headache.
No extra pumps, no power cables, no complex assemblies—just set it in the water and let the circulation do the work.
When winter comes, simply lift the LC out of the pool and store it until next season.
Perfect for:
- Homeowners tired of constant skimming
- Pool stores looking for a unique add-on product
- Service companies wanting an upsell for customers
- Neighborhood or community pools with heavy leaf fall
