My 3 year old dropped a carrot in the pool and the automatic vacuum sucked it up. Now the automatic cleaner is running very slow. Is it the actual vacuum or the plumbing that is clogged?
Answer
If this is a pool sweep that crawls around in the pool sucking up debris I can assure you the carrot is in the vacuum itself. Turn it off, haul it out of the pool and empty the container or bag. If this is one of the new vacuum systems that have water jets sequentially pushing the debris to one area where a drain opens and captures the debris you may or may not have clogged plumbing. That type of system has a filter basket somewhere to catch large objects before they get to the pump and other equipment. You need to check that and any other baskets such as the skimmers and the basket on the pump itself. If you know for sure the carrot got into the plumbing itself and it doesn't show up in any of the baskets, etc., you may have to fish it out. But, since carrots are organic matter the thing will eventually decompose and make it's way to the filter.

Q. The pool is green!i put stuff in it and it only killed the frogs!-(my mom)
Answer
Shocking your pool IS putting chlorine in your pool. You need two 2.5 gals of chlorine jugs. Your going to use one today and one tomorrow. FIrst you need (we have"Stop Yellow") a 6 oz. one time treatment bag of sodium bromine (which is basically crushed up bromine tablets). then you need to put the 2.5 gal of chlorine in the pool. then the bag. you need to brush the pool and let it run for 24 hours.---if you have an automatic cleaner, take it out----. TOMORROW you need to clean the filter. After you clean the filter you need to put the SECOND 2.5 gal of chlorine jug in. Then you should see your pool start to clear up within a day or so.
