Today's update: depressing, tried a filter sock on the pool bottom wheel cleaner thing, just sucked concave full of sand into the two inch opening. One good thing was I found a filter at a spa store that fits the pump if the leaf basket is removed. It has to be hammered in and pryed out as I did not take into account that the inside of the clear lid has protrusions, so it needs to be down in a little. It got a lot of green. washed it twice in less than an hour.
Walmart was a bust. The one I went to did not have the septic stuff and they were having some plant special in the parking lot...couldn't make myself go there, so looked around in the dead inside garden area but only found things i can get for free on my own property, and some water lillies, I can't go that high maintenance 'til the green takes less time. just ordered more barley straw. Looking for talapia as some ohter category was raving about them.
Who knew a girl could have fantasies about clorox?
