Hello, Pool & Spa Forum -
I have an in-ground, gunite pool. I have tile running around the top edge of the pool. A lot of tiles fell off. Before I put replaced the tiles, I ground off the old grout so I'd have a better surface to work with. I used a power grinder, so the grout was ground into a fine powder that fell into the pool. I have been unable to get this fine powder out of the pool - I think that it's too fine for my sand filter or the bag in my vacuum to catch. I tried putting panty hose over the jets to catch the sand, but that isn't working too well.
I've been Googling, and found a product called the Slime Bag (see http://www.cleanerpools.net/index.html). It claims to catch particles as small as 1 micron (a blood cell is 5 microns). Does anyone know if this is the best solution? Or should I just face the music, drain my pool, and scoop out the dust?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
