Had a giant thunderstorm come through last night. Got home from work today (I leave before sun up) and the pump wasn’t running and my pool was full of dirt. I checked it out and the fuse was flipped. I reset it and fired it up to back wash. The pump immediately started smoking. As for the dirt in the pool, it washed in from the side yard. Poor drainage. Now I’ve got a swamp of a pool and a presumably dead pump. My go to guy says he can’t get here until early next week. What can I do in the meantime to decrease further problems? So far I’ve just added some liquid chlorine, skimmed the floating debris, and am running my crawler.
