Faithful TFP'er here. Had a big storm last night. Due to some in-progress landscaping the rain water ran over exposed, recently raked, loose dirt plus some fertilizer-rich sod and into the pool. Searching previous posts the recommendation with dirt in the pool is to let it settle and vacuum...

We're in the process of a drain and fill to reduce CYA. Since the water is down we're checking the pool for any other maintenance. Two issue for ya'all, one about tile and one about plaster... 1) There is tile at the water line and also run horizontally below each step and the bench. There are...
