Can a Kitchen Tool Double as a Pool Cleaner?

[lt1jane]

With all this hot weather, we are enjoying our small Intex swimming pool (you know those blue soft-sided ones you see all over). Ours is only 10 feet across and about two and a half feet deep. Big enough to dunk yourself on a hot day. These pools come complete with a pump and filter to circulate the water.

They do require a bit of maintenance and some pool chemicals (chlorine and algae preventer). They also will still have debris that settles to the bottom. We don't yet have a pool vacuum and probably will never have one. Instead we do it by hand. Love my Scoop 'N Drain for this purpose. It does a great job of getting a lot of the junk out of the pool. It takes some practice and doesn't get the really little stuff, but our fillter can handle that.

Who knew my favorite use for that would be outside in my swimming pool?

I've always thought the scoop & drain looked like something you'd use to clean a litter box.

lt1jane - do you mind if I ask your first and last name so I can credit you for this great tip on my FB page?

Sure. My name is Jane Suprise (it looks like surprise party, but skip the first "r")

Hello there!

I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying your Intex swimming pool during this hot weather. It sounds like the perfect way to cool off on a scorching day. I completely understand the maintenance and upkeep that comes with having a pool, but it's definitely worth it for the refreshing dip it provides.

I love that you've found a way to clean your pool without needing a vacuum. The Scoop 'N Drain sounds like a great tool for getting rid of debris. I'm sure it makes the process much easier and more efficient. It's always nice to repurpose household items for other uses, and it seems like the Scoop 'N Drain has found a new home in your pool maintenance routine.

Thank you for sharing your experience with your Intex pool and the Scoop 'N Drain. Happy swimming!
