Okay so the neighborhood kids thought it would be cool to throw a few dirt clods over the fence & into our pool. The net was only successful in removing the grass clumps. The dirt basically dissolved as soon as the net touched them. I was able to vacuum quite a bit, but the return jet had muddy water coming through it. I cleaned in 5 minute increments, stopping to clean the filter & vacuum bag that fits into the skimmer. I made a lot of progress on the dirt that was on the bottom of the pool. Quite a bit ended up getting dissolved into the water (which is now murky). I ran the filter for a few hours & added my usual BBB chemicals since I was due for that anyway. The filter was off overnight, but nothing seems to have settled to the bottom for me to vacuum yet. We have company coming in on Friday & really don't want the pool to look murky. Any suggestions???? Keep in mind I don't have a sand filter. This one came with the Intex pool (4'X18').
