Opening after Katrina

[cygnusecks]

August 29th 2005 is when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and surrounding areas. So this pool was abandoned after that particular calamity.

Just a thought here...
maybe a vacuum that is "stand-alone" - has it's own filtering system might be also a really good idea
on top of regular vacuuming through the filter

also some type of skimming machine/product ( like a pool devil) could also be useful..
plus filter socks in your skimmer basket
The more filtering, the better

Good Luck & Congrats on your new home
