Finally took a screenshot from my pool cam - not the best quality but u can still see the liner pattern pretty well...View attachment 161638
I like to be able to keep an eye on it when i’m away. Also its nice that it alerts me of movements since i have kids & a dog who has been known to leap over the 54” pool wall.Great pic! Pool cam! Love it.

There is a storm sewer and a fire hydrant in front of my house. I’ve decided to drain and refill my pool every night! No testing, no chemicals, and clear as a bell. Maybe a little cold...
Yes, that was our pool 30 years ago. 20 x 40 with no filtration or chlorine. They drained it everyday and refilled. Every other day, they scrubbed the walls while it was empty. In the middle of a desert...
Thanks for the information - its super helpful. I waited ten years to install a pool due to my fear of snakes. Sticking a hand down a skimmer is a very brave move.@ald2002 - Check out these things to help prevent skimmer surprises. Good job on determining to learn and care for your own pool. It's easy with the help of the brain trust on here.

I've got the frog logs, and when using them, never found frogs in the skimmer. I am contemplating switching to the critter skimmer since it does not visually impede the pool.
Also have the add on tower skim pro (they don't make one for my skimmer). The only trick there is making sure there isn't a spider hanging on just under the top for me to grab on to. I use a fishnet to get them out. Keeps me from having to stick my hands down in the water and get stung or bit. I've found wasps, millipedes, and plenty of spiders in there.
