Well, we didn't close the pool properly last fall and finally got around to opening it this afternoon. We cleaned the leaves off the surface and worked on cleaning the leaves off the bottom. On one pass, white material rose to the top, and I pulled out some fur and bones. There is white stuff floating all over (yuck!), and I think we got most of the critter out. It was decomposed. We found the skull (thinking it's a possum), but the dog ran off with it.

Completely disgusted, and the stench by the pool is BAD!

So, do we drain and restart? If we don't drain it, how could it be sanitized? Right now, we can't see the bottom....oh, what you proper pool owners must be thinking!

Suggestions? Thanks...and sorry if you're grossed out!
