    Above Water Line Sidewall Cleaning Chemical

    Tread lightly. Mr Clean is wonderful but it is abrasive. Could you try it first on an inconspicuous spot that won't compromise the liner? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Above Water Line Sidewall Cleaning Chemical

    I live close to an expressway and the weather here is extremely hot and humid so I end up with a lot of stuff on the side of the pool that won't scrub off with soap, water and a brush. Here's a before and after pictures showing how well this works with no chemicals at all. I've only done the...

    Above Water Line Sidewall Cleaning Chemical

    I don't know if this is safe for your liner but for your steps it'll probably work wonders. Just wet it and rub the steps. I tried dawn and a brush on the outside of my intex. Didn't even touch the grime. I wet this scrubby and simply swiped at the surface and it worked! No chemicals, no...

    need temp vac alternative

    Panty hose will catch a lot of stuff but if it doesn't get it all, try a pair of Tights. The weave is more dense on tights. Tho I don't remember ever thinking "man I wonder if tights would do better". I have however doubled the pantyhose for better filtering. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using...

    need temp vac alternative

    The panty hose were on a vac head that had a hole in the middle about 6"on diameter.The panty hose and mesh bag tie over the hole with a drawstring. A garden hose attaches to the vac head and the water flow stires up the debris and the panty house catches it before it can go thru the mesh bag...

    need temp vac alternative

    I also purchased a rechargeable hand held vacuum last year. It's called a "Pool Blaster Catfish" and you can hold it in your hand or attach it to a pole. It works very well and does not attach to the pump or garden hose. It is self contained Here is a link to the Pool Blaster Catfish"...

    need temp vac alternative

    Do you have the vacuum head that uses the garden hose and has a mesh bag? I used to have one like that. I put a pair of panty hose onto the vacuum head then I put the mesh bag on. The panty hose will filter out smaller particles. I put the mesh bag on top of the panty hose because the bag has...

    I "HATE" lovebug season!

    Re: I "HATE" lovebug season! Tcat, that is exactly what I'm talking about. I got mine at HD or Lowes and I think there cost less than that and they last a long time. I've been using the same one for a year. The elastic gave up the ghost but I just wrap the top up and over the basket. Sent...

    I "HATE" lovebug season!

    We get them in May and September the little buggers will eat the paint right off your car! I went out riding (my Honda VTX) and didn't think about love bugs. I had bug parts in the vents on my helmet, wedged into the trim on the headlight (had use a toothpick to clean that !), they were...

    Where are the old "pool sweeps" that float the surface???

    Re: Where are the old "pool sweeps" that float the surface?? Not sure if this is comparable to what you're looking for but looks interesting to me. Just googled it. Here's what I googled: "floating pool skimmer" this gave more than one listing Here's one link...
