    Dandelions white fluff floating all over pool - best way to get it out ?

    I have 24ft above ground pool, with a variable pump, and these things just took over my water surface :) How do I get rid of them efficiently ? I feel if I run my pump on high, they'll bypass skimmer basket since they're so tiny, and clog up my pump.

    Moved in here this summer, so first winter for me with this pool. I lowered water level 6'' below skimmer, covered with winter cover, only to realize I don't know what to do with my water lines. There's still water in them, and I'm afraid they will burst when they freeze in winter. I believe I...
