Recently while scooping leaves off the bottom of the pool, my wife found a surprise.... a water logged chipmunk. As cute as they are running about in the yard, they are pretty gross after a long time at the bottom of the pool. My question is this: Do I need to drain the pool and start fresh? Or will the water, once balanced and sanitized etc, be ok.

Just to state the obvious.... we did remove the little fellow and disposed of his mortal remains.
