Yah i need to drain the pool some, maybe do it a few times. Did you take a look at those pictures? Can you see those gray/blackish spots at the bottom?

See that ladder and the bags next to it? It's actually bricks I think in there to keep the ladder in place.....HA! I didn't do it the home owner did, any weird effects with bricks being in the water? I know it cant be good.
