Get a job, you lazy arse! Sigh. I miss the days when I could just enjoy my holidays.

Angela,

"Although it is not easy work, there is a proven method of clearing up a green, black or very dirty pool in the shortest time possible. Follow the instructions below for the best results.

Remove most of the large debris from the pool floor with a large leaf net (not a hand skimmer!). This will stir up the water, and may make your pool look much worse temporarily, but the stirred up debris will settle within a few hours. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO VACUUM THE POOL IF YOU CANNOT SEE THE BOTTOM OF IT OR IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF DEBRIS ON THE BOTTOM. YOU MAY CLOG YOUR SKIMMER, FILTER OR UNDERGROUND PIPES !
Adjust the pH and Alkalinity levels of the water using pH Plus, pH Minus and Alkalinity Plus. These levels must be within the proper ranges or the water will never clear.
Shock the pool. This means super chlorinating the water to kill off any bacteria and algae. If your pool is very dirty, it may need MANY gallons of liquid chlorine (shock) over a period of days before the water clears. Start off by adding 3 or 4 gallons, and if you see no results overnight, add 3 or 4 more gallons the next day. Continue this process until you notice the water changing color to either cloudy white, light green or clear. YOU CANNOT OVER SHOCK A POOL ! The more you add, the quicker it will clear ! Note...shock is available in liquid or powdered form, but we recommend using liquid (it works faster). You may also want to add a high quality algaecide to the water at this point.
Run your filter 24 hours a day and backwash 3 or 4 times a day for quickest results. Green or cloudy water will quickly clog a filter, therefore you may have to backwash your filter many times a day until the pool clears. THIS IS NORMAL ! Remember, you cannot over-backwash a pool filter. The more you run your pool, and the more you backwash the filter, the faster the pool will clear up. If you have a D.E. filter, remember to add new D.E. to the skimmer closest to your filter after each backwashing. A D.E. filter is more work than a sand filter, but the D.E. filter will clear a green pool about 50% faster than a sand filter.
If you follow these instructions and your pool does not clear up within 4 or 5 days, your filter may not be functioning properly. If this is the case with your pool, have the filter system checked out by a professional. The pool will never clear up if the filter is not working properly !
Once the water does clear up, you will most probably see debris on the pool floor (dead leaves, algae, etc.). If there is only a small amount of debris present, you may want to vacuum it up using your own pool vacuum system. If there is a lot of debris on the pool floor, you should have the pool professionally POWERVACUUMED. This will save a lot of wear and tear to your filter system, as well as assuring that no debris gets clogged in your pool pipes."

I love this place

[Angela Harlem]

BS, have I told you lately that I love you? Thank you.
I'm still not convinced it can be saved, but I know nothing at all about pools beyond how to swim in one. I thought it would need draining. A pool place I rang said no, but they also said it could be drained right into the counil reserve... which I'm sure is criminal environmental terrorism.

Well, seeing as cobl still aint here to be my pool boy, I guess its time to take matters into my own.

[Angela Harlem]

I'm fascinated with how often this guy talks of debris in the pool. It makes me wonder what I'll find when I clear it/empty it. Maybe a rusted old car body, or some unwanted old furniture?

You could teach yourself Harkonnen battle language to alleviate some of the boredom.

Or he could teach himself the Weirding Way. You know... some thoughts have a certain sound, that being the equivalent to a form. Through sound and motion, you will be able to paralyze nerves, shatter bones, set fires, suffocate an enemy or burst his organs.

Sorry Angela

You know, in almost 18 years of living, not once have I felt the urge to watch Star Wars/Trek...

...I'm assuming that's what you're talking about...
