Abstract: A floatable stationary pool cleaner and method in cooperation with a pool recirculation system for removing circulating debris from the surface of a pool. The pool cleaner has a body having a generally scoop-shaped configuration. The body is generally hollow to form a conduit for water and the body has an open first end and a second end. A filter net is attachable to and cooperates with the second end for entrapping debris directed thereto. The filter net cooperates with the second end such that a portion of the filter net end is located slightly above the surface and a remainder of the filter net is located below the surface. Jets are provided which are connected to the hollow for propelling water away from the body in a direction to extend the scoop-shaped configuration of the body to increase the entrapment of debris and to propel water toward the second end to direct debris into the filter net.
