Tuesday, November 13, 2012 7:13:17 PM I guess he didn't know that it is much easier to drain a pool into the sewage clean-out port for the home plumbing system... I have a fabric hose and a screw-driven hose clamp (like for a car radiator hose) that I can attach between the pool pump and the sewage line, so draining is nice and dry on the yard and neighborhood... |

Tuesday, November 13, 2012 1:39:31 PM Pressure washer and a large hose going through what *was* his yard. I predict he drained it to clean it out... with unforeseen circumstances. |

Tuesday, November 13, 2012 1:33:57 PM It appears that the area was flooded, which meant the pool was probably filthy and full of debris. He would have had to empty the pool, clean out the crap, and then fill it again with fresh water. Filters and vacuums can only do so much. |
