    Old Pool, New Problems

    Hey, I live in SoCal and I've got a pool designed and installed by Anthony probably somewhere in 1987...it may not be pretty, but it's chugging along.

    Welcome to my nightmare

    Here is my nightmare. My pool was built by the previous owners under a 82 year old California Pine that likes to shed these 2-3" needles year round. They drop into the pool and hang onto the side of the pool at the waterline until they get water logged, then they fall to the bottom. The ones...
