We are having this problem too. I just asked a pool repairman about it. He said the worms are getting into our drainage system around our deck. They do this through small fissures that can open up in the pipes over the years. Then they come into the pool through the overflow drain. We've never dealt with this before, and we've had the pool 10 years. Maybe it's because we've had such a wet summer here in Dallas. (By the way, he said his other customers with earthworms have tried to flush out their drainage pipes as well as possible and some have put something to poison the worms there. Not sure I want poison around my pool though --)
