Update Well, after going over everything with the vacuum and leaf canister, I believe it got me 95% of the way there. My Blue Pearl super ultra robotic pool cleaner arrived on Tuesday, and I promptly dropped him into the pool to go to work. Let me just say, this is one awesome machine...

Slowly but surely Thanks to Craig loaning me a leaf filter attachment and a skimmer sock, I was able to make a first pass at getting the glass out of the pool. I attached the filter to my vacuum hose and slowly went over the pool. Not only is my pool cleaner, but it has remarkably little...

Thanks Craig. I checked it and replied. Matt

I don't believe I was fortunate enough to have those parts included by the previous owners. The only attachment I have is to regulate suction through the skimmer basket port. Matt

You must have read my mind! I just ordered a Blue Pearl yesterday to replace the aging suction-powered unit I inherited when we bought the house last year. I'm hoping that the filter in the Blue Pearl will do a good job at grabbing any small fragments that may remain. I'll proceed by hand...

Thanks for the info Hotrod. I don't believe the skimmer socks would work for me, as my vacuum is a dedicated line. I think the concept would still work though. If I just put a filter of some sort (I've got a tight mesh bag that might work) between 2 of the vacuum hose sections, it should...

That was the one! And then we had snow...twice in one week! I'm starting to wonder if these are signs of the end of all things :) I was looking for a good excuse to rent some SCUBA gear and go tooling around the pool... Matt

Actually, that's exactly what I was doing. Turning on the light at night makes it pretty easy to spot the pieces. Thankfully, the table top was tempered glass, and nearly all of the pieces are around 1/2 inch cubes. I'll definitely let you all know what the successful solution turns out to...

My pool is 35 x 15 and about 5ft at it's deepest (about 18,000 gallons by my expert calculations). I believe it was called a play pool when we were looking to buy the house. I have a cartridge filter, and the pool is clean but for a light dusting of dirt in some spots.

Well, as the weather warms up here it north Texas, I feel I can avoid my issue no longer. A couple of months ago we had some windy weather that picked up a tempered glass-top patio table and slammed it into the pool deck. A good bit of the shattered glass then blew into the pool. Yes, I was...
