We opened up our pool this year and it looked and smelled TERRIBLE!! I was so surprised and even thought some kind of critter had gotten under the cover over the winter and died. Well, that didn't happen but we had a massive case of algae. We added chemicals and let the pool do it's thing for over a week. It seemed the algae had somewhat died off and started to clear up but we decided it would be best to have the pool drained, cleaned, and refilled. We did this for $100 which is less than the cost of the chemicals it would have taken to clear up the original water from last year. Here they are filling the pool with the fire hose. They hooked right up to the hydrant and it was filled in less than an hour. It's sparkling and clear now and we've been in it a couple times already this year!
