I buried the last one, but I'll be sure to snap a pic if there is another. Just your run of the mill waterlogged rodent. There seems to be a cat in the area that likes to leave presents in the yard, but usually it's bits scattered around. Perhaps​ it chased them in. Still a bit odd. I've not...

This is likely not the right spot, but its left field so here is as good as any where. I just fished the second mole out of my pool this summer. The pool itself is still a bit of a swamp. I've been remodeling the house the pool belongs to and made a few passes at the pool. The best I got was a...

The MSDS on the same site ( http://www.olddutch.ca/pdf/bleach.pdf ) Lists Sodium Hypochlorite at 1.0%-3.0% i.e. not that strong.

I just picked up a Shop-Vac that pumps water back out a hose. I was using it to deal with a large amount of cotton wood floating on the surface (like sq ft of the stuff) I'm going to see if I can't make an adapter so I can just hook the end of my pole vac head hose to the Shop-Vac. I took a...

Is that bottle translucent?? I hope it came in a box. Why would you ship bleach in a container susceptible to UV? Odd.

I've been more fishing for ideas on approach. I'm read through all the write-ups. I just got my K-2006 and I've been adding things before over time based on the last water reading that I got from a test trip to the local pool store. (And sadly, they were as sharky as lore states, but pools are...

Just found out from another (ex) pool owner that All-American Recreation, Inc here in MN sells 5 gallons of 10% in a reusable carboy ($8 deposit) for $13.99 or 2.5 gallon carboys ($6 deposit) for $7.49. http://www.allamericanrec.com/swimming-pools/pool-chemicals/lynde

Been playing with the leaf rake, as well as a brush I bought. The main goal was to see if the vent on the bottom is clogged or just not working, (or both). Just to give you a feel for what I'm dealing with I pulled this out of the shallower end. (Note I could not see it in there, I hit it with...

That's the main guy I was using up until now... until someone's cotton wood started shedding. I broke down and snagged a 12 gallon pumping Shop-Vac over the weekend and spent some quality time holding it just above the surface and slurping up cotton. I had stopped by Menards to get the vac (and...

Alright, here's the setup. I bought a house that had been a rental for a long time. The owner lived in Hawaii and did not much more than collect rent. Of course it had an in ground pool (vinyl liner, and old Hayward sand filter). We bought the house, knowing the pool was in questionable...

I was just thinking about this as I was trying to piece my new found system back together. I see lots of talk about how you are supposed to add chemicals to the pool with talk of socks, etc, etc. I was curious why you would not just create a chamber attached to the output going back to the pool...

I'm sure you've heard this one before. I just bought a house at the beginning of May. Mostly working on renovating the inside to make it livable by the end of June, but every time I head out the back yard, there is the swamp, calling for attention. Largish diamond shape. Vinyl liner. Can't see...
