    Yeah, I bet you pictured me (5'4") picking up a couple of 80 pound shepherds and tossing them in the water like someone might a robot cleaner

    These dogs are very energetic swimmers and can really stir up the water with their long legs and webbed feet.

    Aeration? No problem! Throw in a toy, have a dog jump in. Mega geysers result.

    Dunno about algae: we haven't had any yet. But I can testify to them being excellent stirrer-uppers of dust and debris.

    Yeah, it's easier to toss my dogs in. The big guy is probably now 60 lbs and the little girl is not even 40 lbs. They are both Belgians but he's a Sheepdog and she's a Tervuren.

    There has been a lot of pollen this season. I find the skimmer socks really help pull it out--it looks like yellow spackle!

    Me pick up my dogs? Uh..... I don't think so. One of them weighs probably 75 and the other one probably 85. Both are sweet little (or not so little) golden retriever girls.
