I'm in the same boat, but the mud is in my pool instead of around it. At least I can vacuum to waste and not worry about all the water I'm wasting.

I'm not sure what's using more chlorine, the dilution from the rain, the junk getting washed in to the pool, or the normal summer sun that pops out between the torrents of rain. It makes testing fun, because you never know what you will get.

It's a nice change from the normal weather in North Texas this time of year.
