A rake would be a good idea to stir up the leaves that are on the bottom,
then catch with the net. Today I use the net to stir up the water and it is
a little difficult. A rake sounds easier.

Thanks!!

Any chance of clearing the debris by rake (careful!) or hand if there is
that much of it?

Mechanisms can only do so much and your pump sounds like it'd have lots of
suck!
