A swimming pool is a container filled with water intended for swimming or water-based recreation.

Clean large amount of leaves from pool bottom

I have last fall's leaves at the bottom of my pool. What is the best way to clean them all out?

I used to just drain mine and get down there with a shovel and hose to wash all the dirt out. Trying to balance your chemical and get rid of all the growing stuff is a nightmare. Better to just start over from fresh. If the walls feel a little or a lot slimy, that's bacteria growing. I used a high pressure water sprayer first with soap and a disinfectant then clean water. Remember to clean your filter and pump and disinfect.

The most common way of removing leaves from the pool — the leaf rake or leaf skimmer. You have to use it manually, and it's relatively cheap — so you don't have to worry about replacing it often.

However, it requires extra effort from your side to clean the bottom portion of your pool, which is where the real trouble lies. You'll have to spend a lot of time and effort to scrub the bottom surface to clean.

Maybe these '''''Leaves Cleaning Hacks''''' give a detailed picture of Hassle-free Cleaning.

I would recommend using a deep leaf net to get out the majority of the leaves. Using a pool vacuum and sending that much debris into your filter will just immediately clog it.

Once the majority of the debris is scooped out manually with a leaf net, then I would use your automatic pool cleaner to finish the job. If you don't have an automatic pool cleaner you can use manual pool vacuum.

Sounds like you're opening the pool for the season. Enjoy.

Use a deep leaf net to get everything you can out. Then brush your pool thoroughly, and vacuum it thoroughly. Backflush your filter until water is coming out clean. Then resume normal filtration, shock your pool, and once chlorine levels have returned to normal you can get the rest of the chemistry in line. Clean ALL baskets! Skimmer and pump.
