1000022872.jpgMy new inteloflo 3, I guess the water runs smooth enough to where it's pretty clear to look down inside the basket. I saw a spider and a bee or wasp down at the bottom back of the basket where the water flow out. They were floating around and dancing as though they were alive.

I emptied the basket and thought I got rid of them all, I didn't notice the spider but figured he probably just got crushed when the gallons per minute increased.

Half an hour later I have to stop my pump for something, and I see a spider at the top, basically right on the underside of the Looking Glass. Don't know if it was the same spider or not but it looked like it. And when I emptied the basket, it crawled away. WHAT?!?1000022896.jpg
 
Memorial Day is not supposed to be about making memories in my pool if you don't live here. Half an hour ago I had this fellow which I rescued from on the wall inside, 3 ft below the water line, and then just a few minutes ago I had three Ducks which my wife scared away before I could get a picture. She really scared the poop out of them though, unfortunately.1000022933.jpg
