    Default Re: Please Help!!!! Swamp pool

    To add to what WaterMom said . . . a key ingredient to cleaning a swamp is P.O.P.: "Pool Owner Patience"!

    There is no way to make cleaning a swamp quick and easy (other than hiring it done!), but lots of people make it SLOWER and HARDER and MORE EXPENSIVE by trying to purchase "Quick and Easy".

    To a pool store, a pool owner who has a problem (like you) and who is in a hurry, looks like money on legs. They'll sell you stuff 'to make it easier' and then, when that doesn't make it quick and easy, they'll sell you something else, to make it quick and easy.

    Get the kit; test the water; answer Watermom's questions . . . and we'll make it as quick as easy as possible.

    If you can't stand to do that, get out your big wallet, and pull out $200 to $500 to hire it cleaned up professionally (prices vary by region, and by just how bad your mess is). That's easy.

    Otherwise, take your time, and work methodically.

    But do NOT go walking into pool store, wanting to buy "a bottle of Easy, please". They'll sell you something, but it will just end up being "Expensive", not
    "Easy".

    Also . . . do you have access to Sams Club? They have some pretty good deals on chemicals that may help. You probably won't want to tote the amount of bleach it's likely to take to clean up a 40,000 gallon swamp.
