carnivorous water Beatles. They will bite. Scoop them out with a net and crush them. They will go away by mid July.

Bleach , no fish in it right, and no people or animals in it for a couple of days till the bleach clears up

Um i don't think. I know they bite humans like a mosquito though.

Today there are many homes that have swimming pools as well as municipal pools in the cities. Many people ask, "Will the chlorine from the pool that gets on the plants around the pool harm them?" It is important to remember that chlorine does not occur naturally in nature, chloride (Cl-) is readily soluble, highly mobile and easily taken up by plants. Chloride is the element that is found in fertilizer materials. Chlorine (Cl2) is a corrosive, poisonous gas used to make bleaching agents and disinfectants. The form of chlorine most often added to pool water is solid calcium hypochlorite which forms hypochlorous acid (HOCl) when place in water. Sodium hypochlorite is the active ingredient of common household bleach. Commercial liquid chlorine (compressed chlorine gas) is used as a water treatment to kill bacteria. Hypochlorous acid is the effective agent that controls algae growths in pools. According to Clemson University, "There should be no effect of pool water splashed on nearby plants from normal pool use. Larger plants (and animals) can tolerate the concentrations that are recommended for pool water."

It depends if you have a lot of chlorine in it. If you do it will take about 4 months. If you dont it will probably take 2-5 weeks(depending on where you live and the animals around it).

One way to have birds to stop pooping there is to make sure to remove all bird feeders in your area. You also don't want to put a lot of trees in the area of your verandah.

no

Use extra chlorine for about a week to shock the pool. As long as the water stays clear, you don't have a problem. If the pool gets cloudy, consult a professional.

Pool-be-gone balls and skimmers are ways of getting gnats out of pools. The former is a special floater that captures floating sediment and insect pests. The insects in question (Dipterid insect suborder) prevail wherever they can breed and feed amid incandescent lighting, tall grasses, water sources and yard debris.

I'm not sure, but to keep them from laying eggs in the water, put a long stick in the water. the mosquitos will lay their eggs on that, and you can take the stick and chuck it later.

Yes, it is very possible. A raccoon can kill and eat a small dog very easily. There is a higher chance of the raccoon killing the dog if it is starving, and how aggressive the dog is. This is also very serious because if the raccoon has rabies and bights the dog intending to kill it, but doesn't, then the small dog will probably have to be put down or die anyway from diseases etc. So, basically, it's a good idea to keep your small dogs away from raccoons to be on the safe side.

I would remove the bird and dispose of it in a bag. Put it in the trash outside. I would then super chlorinate the pool. To kill any bacteria.

They like the fresh water - until the chlorine kills them. Best bet: Install a screen (or a short fence with some wire) between the yard and the pool.

The best way to rid your yard of insects is to provide a bird-friendly habitat. Put in a feeder in winter. Put out a bird-bath in summer. Provide shrubs & trees favorable to birds. They eat many many insects, as do frogs.

You can buy from pool shops some stuff to put in the pool water which puts a coating on the top layer of the water and it starves the little bugs of oxygen.

I owned and operated a pool service company for many years. I found that if you squirt a tablespoon or so a month of a quality dish soap(ie dawn, palmolive...), not a dishwasher detergent, the bugs are not able to float on the water and other submersed water bugs are not able to breathe in the water. The soap has many side effects such as helps to break down body and taining oils so they can be filtered out. You can expect your pool chemicals to not fluctuate as much and in some cases use less chlorine or bromine. Enjoy!!

never. If you have a problem with the water in your pool, there are many chemicals avalible to help you. go to your local pool store with a water sample and ask for help. they can test your water and tell you exactly what you need to do.

these are melted salts in which ions move freely therefore these are good conducters and rae said electrolytes.

Drain the whole thing til there is no water in it you will need a wetdry vac then go in a scrub the walls with bleach then suck up all that dirty water after it is completely empty of all gunk then you can put fresh water in it

well I have the same issue as you ... I heard that by placing a pair of stockings at each end of the pool (shallow and deep)it should move toward the leak ... I just cut one pair of stockings in two ... still waiting for the outcome I just started it this evening ... good luck to you ...

Hi,

multiply the L*B*W . that will give youvolume of any object , now if your result is in metre then 35.71 cubic feet in 1 cubic meter

What kind of pool..(in ground)...? Drain all water from hoses & lines.... especially the filter motor........if in ground.......you may have to blow out the under ground lines....and add non-toxic anti-freeze...let a professional do this.....above ground.....lower water level to 2ft.

Make a list of the features you want your enclosure to have, including things like movable panels, walls, space for a seating area and the material you want to build it from. Note whether you would like the enclosure to be freestanding or connected to your home.

Determine your budget. A simple enclosure for a small swimming pool could run as much as $10,000, with more elaborate, high-quality enclosures costing several times that amount. You'll want to get the best possible quality to fit your needs, so make sure you can afford it before you get your hopes up.

Measure your swimming pool. Include height above the level of your pool in your measurements if you have a diving board or slide. Then, measure the additional space around the pool that you would also like to cover. This will give you an idea of how large your enclosure will be.

Consult with a local pool supply store, where you can get advice and order specific enclosures. Search the Internet as well, as several companies make simple enclosures that can easily transform your home, such as AquaShield.com (see Resources below).

Get quotes from several different construction companies. Quotes should be free and will give you a better idea of how much your project will cost. Lower the quote by making sure each builder knows they're bidding competitively against other companies.

Ask for examples of builders' work. Most will offer a portfolio of designs they have completed.

Look for designs created specifically for the region in which you live. For example, some designs are built to withstand cold winters, while others are designed with high winds in mind, such as those at PoolPatioEnclosures.com (see Resources below).

Make sure the materials will hold up after years of exposure to the pool environment. High humidity, chlorine and other factors could damage your enclosure, particularly since many enclosures are built using an aluminum frame. Manufacturers such as DynaProducts use a special powder-coating technique designed to increase your enclosure's lifespan (see Resources below).

Ask about safety features, especially if you have children. Some designs include locking mechanisms or doors.

Add a dehumidifier to your design. In some small pool areas, fans and windows could provide relief from high humidity, but it's best to install a dehumidifier. This will prolong the life of your enclosure and everything in it.

Figure out how you will heat the enclosure. Many enclosures count on the pool's heat and the sun, but if you live in an area where it gets cold during the winter, you likely won't be able to use your pool unless you have another heat source for the room.

Make sure you know whether the enclosure will be installed and assembled for you. Many simple enclosures will not be installed, but more ornate enclosures, such as those from Solar Innovations include the price of shipping, assembly and installation (see Resources below).

Buy your enclosure from a manufacturer, or make a deal with a construction company, only after checking the company's credentials with the Better Business Bureau (see Resources below).

Get all deals, changes and warranties in writing before the project begins.

Use a natural ascorbic acid based pool product to clean stains on walls in the pool. Once applied, this product almost immediately removes most stains. Most pool stains come from metals in the water. Test your fill water to make sure it doesn't contain high concentrations of metals, if you fill your pool from sources other than city water.

Scrape some of it of the pool and take it to your pool shop, it sounds like it might be black algae, the shop wit have something to kill it of this is really hard stuff to kill so its good that the pool is empty.

The only real way would be to drain it, and clean it out, preferably with a bleach based cleaning product. A stagnant body of water like that, that isn't being treated with sanitizers is a perfect breeding ground for all kinds of nasty things so the water should be changed regularly. via

Hope to be useful to you, Good luck.
