Yikes! Small pile of gravel in pool

[NWMNMom]

Tried the venturi vac, as I said, no go. One has snorkeling equip, I'll make him go back in there and clean it up. Thought I might have missed something simple - other than that. It's like taking out the garbage, they make most of it, but its like pulling teeth to get it taken out! Thanks all

Doh! Somehow I totally missed that you tried that.

Don't know what a venturi vac is, and maybe I'm missing something, but how about a plain old vacuum brush? Hose hooks to the skimmer. I likewise wouldn't go against a liner with the end of a hose.

I took the vacuum head off my suction vac and used waterproof tape to tape my light extension pole (goes to leaf skimmer) to hose and I use the hose at an angle to go around the edges and pick up sand that seems to lie where my cove starts. My yard around the pools is sand right now and my three boys get a lot of it in the pool. The Vacuum brush does not seem to want to pick it up against the wall but just the hose does great. Attaching it to the aluminum pipe makes it easy to go around the pool and pick up all the sand.

The vac brush would not pick it up either - I'm guessing its something to do with the edges of the brush preventing enough concentrated suction to lift the grains (biguns) - Anyways, we had the snorkler use his equipment and pick it out.....

NWMNMOM-
I don't know if i am allowed to post a new thread directly asking you a question so, I am doing here, hoping you will see it.

So the big question is...... Did you ever use the indoor/outdoor carpeting anywhere?

Thanks

No, at this point we have not, except a small bit around the ladder. I WISH we had it all the way around and would like to do that - we could have avoided the gravel in the pool issue!!!!!
