Q2: What strings do you use for your floaters anyway?
Why use string on a floater?

Hmmm.... it seemed logical.

First off, the floaters clearly have holes for this purpose.
Secondly, out here anyway, we have strong prevailing winds
for the summer and winter which move the floaters to one
end of the pool permanently unless they're tied down.

Only the floater in the spa stays put; but the other two
floaters will be in the same spot all day if I didn't tie
them to the middle.

As an update, I bought a screening kit to make new pool nets
out of window screen. That window screen kit came with rubber
'cord'. This black rubber cord seems to be a 'perfect' size
for the floater holes; but, of course, only time (and chlorine)
will tell the complete tale...
