Get yourself some Scum Socks and put them in your strainer basket. They are great for picking up the small stuff your filter might be missing.

They cost about $10 for three or four and well worth the investment.

No skimmer? Are you sure? I've never seen a pool without one. It's where the water goes into when the pump runs.

You got to have a skimmer or I would think you should. Unless you have one of the donught pools.

I've seen them at Walmart in N. Fl so it might be something they all carry! It was in a pack of 3 but I don't remember the price.:(

I just picked me some up at The Local Walmart 3 for $9.99.
You can use them for quit some time,just take and rinse them out if they get real nasty, and put them back on....

If you have the skimmer like The one u posted on ur link,all you have to do is,pull the sock over the little basket.And Maybe weigh it down a lil with a clean rock...Hope this helps.If I figure out how to post a pic I will do..lol

Alright! :) Lol today i got around to buying those socks :) 3 for $6.00 :) Wal mart

anyway's i kinda waited a little to long and there's alot of it in the pool lol but the thing is my skimmer dosen't really suck it in, i mean it worked for an hour and i got some stuff out, but now it just like sit's there :S but any other idea's?

im going to try to let run for a little while and maybe it will start going into it.

anyone have another idea on how i can get it out?
