    Small Black Bugs-Pepper Flakes

    I had a similar issue when I first had my pool installed. After I added the CYA the pool was covered in hundreds of little black bugs that looked like ants on the surface of the water. I ran my pump on high since they were on the surface non-stop overnight and they were then gone. It was the...

    We had an extended winter and rainy season leaving our pool closed for 6 long months. When we opened it, the cover had a lot of dirt, leaves, and water, and it smelled like a sewer. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever cleaned. This was our first time using a leaf net, so I don't know if...
