Hi everyone - a bit of a dilemma…and in hindsight, I probably should have covered and better protected the pool.

I was building my waterfall and needed to add the top cap. Given that it was natural stone, I needed to use mortar as opposed to glue. But as i was levelling the stone by hitting with a mallet, and also while cleaning the edges…a lot of the mortar fell in the pool. I can see the powdery residue in the water and water is somewhat cloudy. Any idea what I can do to pick up the mortar? Robot?

Please help.

And assuming the robot works, I guess just run the pump on high?
 
Not sure I would use a robot with the abrasive nature of the mortar. Do you have a manual vac hose and head?
Check the pH. Mortar is very basic.
