I am in the process of slowly getting the pool sorted at our new place. I have left the sand as the last task due to the fact that I wasn't going to replace sand before getting rid of all the algae. I've done this before at my MIL's place and it's a hellava job to scoop out the sand with a little tin or cup or whatever The local pool guy wants to smoke me R900 to change the sand (the sand works out at around R400 for 4 bags) I've read that a workshop vacuum makes the job easier, but i doubt my wife will appreciate me using her big green clean machine to suck up some sand. Does anyone have any short cuts/ tips?
