Well last year we put in a new pool. The kids and I really wanted one and to be honest it wasn’t that expensive or difficult to do. i had to learn how to clean the pool and find a place to buy my pool supplies without killing my pocketbook. That part was actually easiest but the cleaning the pool after the kids constantly jumping in with dirty feet and such, was a pain. I need to come up with a new plan for keeping the grass and such out of the pool. The kids love to run around the yard chasing each other and jump back in without cleaning their feet.
I looked around at pool filters before I bought one because I knew this would be a problem with the kids. I have jokingly told the kids that I would build a moat around the pool for their dirty feet and they thought it was a good idea. I had to smile at that, because they actually thought I was serious.
