Brice, we have something similar to the cottinwood problem the reason your skimmer does not catch it. the mess is that once mixed with water it easily goes thru to the stocking. Now unless you want to spend more time cleaning the filter I would suggest staying with the nylon sock you are now using. I keep an extra sock in a bag hooked to the skimmer. so while one is working take the dirty one and use a pressure nozzle or even your hose end sprayer but spray backwards thru that silk stocking. stick it in the sun to dry and you willget a few uses out of it, until the crap from the trees is gone. however depending on how many folks who are loosing hair in your pool it is a good idea to use the sock thru the pool season. again , saves that textra taking down the whole filter to clean it , thus not wasting extra earth.
