Abstract: A pool cleaner and method for removing debris from the surface of a pool. The pool cleaner comprises a body having an open first end, open body sides, and a filtration second end, the body being generally hollow to form a conduit for water and having a water supply member which may be operably connected to a source of pressurized water. The body is supported by support means so that the body does not substantially interfere with the circulation of water through the open first end, the open body sides, or the filtration second end. A filter net is attached to the filtration second end of the body and one or more water jets are operably connected to the body for propelling water substantially toward the filter net to direct debris into the filter net.

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.
