First pool, might be our LAST...name says it all!

I'm not sure about the "color catcher" sheets--I'd be really skeptical about using them in my pool until I knew for sure that there's no detergent or other chemical on them that might create a problem with the pool water, but we could always research it and see.

We'd like to see your pics--if you'll email them to poolforum DOT pics AT gmail DOT com and reference the URL of this thread, Ben can get them uploaded for you....

I just sent 3 pics to Ben..hopefully he'll be able to post them. I took one of my goofy sock filter, one of the gunk I sqeezed out of it, and an "after" picture of the pool water. Keep in mind, the brown water in the bucket is only from about 6 inches of fill water. When I initially started filtering the entire pool those 5 days, the gunk was dark, dark brown like coffee.
