My family home has an old concrete pool - deep end is deeper than current allowable regulations. Hasn't been used since MAYBE 2003, more likely 2001/02. It was never dreamed, just covered and forgotten. It's a literal swamp right now. Plants, trees, frog population. We want to fix it instead of fill it. My husband is ex-pool construction with 10+ years experience but no experience with pools like this. ANYTHING could be in that water. I've read about trash pumps, but concerned about what factors I need to be aware of before making the decision to use one. Also would consider hiring someone, but unsure what kind of service would be able to clear out a pool neglected for 16-18 years. Most of the surrounding clean up we will do ourselves. My biggest concern is draining it and what could be in that pool. Lots of deer where we are and they easily jump the existing chain-link fence.
