    It is possible an enzyme product might help in this case. NaturalChemitry makes one called Pool First Aid that I have seen work on very badly contaminated pools. It is expensive but might be worth a try....it might or might not work depending on what they put into your pool.

    Since you have NO idea what they dumped in, I'd drain, clean the pool and refill. An 18' EasySet is small enough so that you'll lose a day or two of swimming, no more. When it's empty, scrub it with a watered-down bleach solution, not direct bleach. Dry it, and refill.

    My best advice.

    As far as the security, webcams suck you need to get a full on cctv dvr system That can be remotetly viewed, my dvr has an alarm that buzzes when someone is within the program grids of each camera durning a certain time of day or night, so lets say for i.e. someone walks upto my driveway at 2am, I would hear a buzz, also I park my truck always in the same spot so I have the grids where my truck is turned on for an alarm also, if someone were to walk near my truck. or even in my back or side yard. My cameras are all 480i with infared for night, I also have a couple infared illuminators that automatically turn on at night to make it more visible for my cameras. There is also a PTZ camera on the top of my house that is remote controlled for zoom, pan and tilt with a 28x optical zoom. the reason why I have gotten this was because:
    1. for ***** and giggles Edited by Mod CarlD: It is quite clear in the forum rules that such language isn't tolerated. We enforce it. Check the AUP post by PoolDoc.
    2. So my wife can keep a close eye on my son playing in the front and now that we have the pool, she can watch him while shes inside.
    3. my dad likes to be able to keep his eye on my house via internet when he's bored.

    So If you are going to get a system for security don't half ass it, go all out. besides if something ever happends to your neighbors house you can sell them your footage
