I can promise you that shocking the water will sanitize it....if you don't believe me, here's how I know...

Yep - shock and then enjoy the pool. If you need to you can have a memorial service first.

Within the first week of opening my pool, it had take the lives of 3 chipmonks (they do a perfect dead man's float) one mouse and several moles.

They just can't seem to figure the whole "winter cover is off now" concept.

Since then I've sent a few more moles and one chipmunk on to the pearly gates. We have to check our skimmers daily for critters.

Unless we have been away for a few days and come back to find a dead critter that's likely been there for several days then we just don't really worry. I keep my water well balanced to handle such short exposure to a dead animal for a few hours.
