    How did it turn out? We are about to embark upon the same thing, except we have to get a huge tree limb out first. A tree fell into the pool in during our snow and ice storm this winter, and since we did not have a chain saw, we just gave up until we could get a chain saw. Well, we sawed the tree and half of it fell into the pool. Since the liner had already fallen in, and it has become a giant mosquito breeding ground, and there was already a hole in the liner somewhere, we decided to rent a pump to get the remaining water out of the pool. My husband has just left to drive the 25 miles into San Antonio to rent the pump.

    I am assuming we will clean with the bleach solution and refill the pool, after we get the tree limb out. Any other hints?

    Everything's up and running - so far, so good.

    We drained most of the water (it stormed the night before I cleaned it, which meant more water ton contend with) then we used a wet vac to suck up the remaining mucky water. I scrubbed the sides and bottom with a bleach solution then immediately began filling it back up. I don't see any stretched-out spots, and I got out 99% of the nastiness. Water is clear and beautiful.

    Speaking of - it's about to storm, I need to go check my chlorine and ph levels!

    Thanks! I am hoping all will go well. The pool was drained on Sunday, but we had an accident...my husband stepped on a 6 inch spike in a lawn timber, so we have not returned to scoop the debris out of the pool. I will be doing that tomorrow.
    My husband has had a good outcome from his injury in case anyone worries.
    So, I should be okay if I fill it tomorrow after scooping debris...right?

    I am hoping!

    Thanks for all replies. They are appreciated.
