Well, I just finished getting our above ground pool cleaned for summer use. During the winter a LOT of Mountain Cedar “dust” and Live Oak “debris” got into our pool. We did not vacuum it in a timely manner and this gunk stuck to the liner. I tried scrubbing the liner using Scotch-Brite pads with my feet, but it was not even close to enough.
I had to completely drain the pool and use a very harsh Scale Be Gone chemical with various scouring pads to get all the gunk off.
But the pool is clear and looking as good as ever now, with a week to go before my sons are on summer vacation.
This is the second time we let the pool get this bad. Clearly we did not learn our lesson the first time. Hopefully this winter we will maintain the pool during its unused months.
