Has anyone ever brushed their pool...

...while in it?

I was on brush duty last week when the water tempted me too much. I dropped the pole, grabbed my suit and finished the job while swimming. I might make a habit of it!

It was considerably easier to brush the floor from within the pool. The pole reaches from the edge of the shallow end to the far corners of the deep end. The sides were a different story though. It was annoying to get sides in the shallow end, and all but impossible to get the sides in the deep end.

I could see how the sides of an AGP could be done in the water, and how the deep end of a large pool would pose a significant challenge...

rc,

So what was the temperature of your indoor pool?

The last 2 years the swimming temp has been 88º. The new heater is doing a better/faster job though, so my "new standard" is 90º and I aint goin back!

Oops.... the key word being INDOOR. As if highlighted in blue in the signature wasn't enough for me to see earlier. It's Monday folks. I'll just excuse myself now. :gone:

Yep - I'm on the Aussie swim calendar. When everyone else in the U.S. is filling and clearing their pools for summer swimming, I'm closing mine.

I've skimmed my pool while inside. I haven't brushed my pool in over a year! 6 hours of the vacuum running around daily keeps it nice and clean. Also helps having a screened in pool...

I have a scrubby mitt that I use to scrub the waterline, and the easiest way to use it is while in the pool. I won't be jumping in for a few more months, though.

I love that scrubby mitt and we've used it often while in the pool. MyteeMitt I believe its called? Mytee Mitt

Before the robot "Sheldon" came home to roost and took over most brushing duties Skippy often brushed the pool from within.

Or you could just do like us in S Florida. Never close. This time of year the solar heat doesn't keep up so I hit it with a couple hours of gas heat once or twice per week. 88 is our minimum also... wife prefers 90. Rest of the week we just use the spa.

We love our tfp pool!

I would, but the problem is that unlike Florida, we can only boat in the summer, so boating wins May-Oct.

The only way hubby brushes the pool is from within it [emoji849] Not sure how thoroughly it gets brushed though since the next time I look he’s usually floating with his eyes shut.

Brushing the pool is my husbands only pool job and he only does it from inside the pool. He does it about twice a week starting in the spring through early winter. No need during the burrr times even though his self does get in the pool when it is burrrr!
