Goose pool - how to keep clean?

Linniex · Apr 28, 2021

Hi there! Does anyone know of a safe way to keep a goose pool clean? I have an 80 gallon polyester foldable pool, I’m on my second in a year and it works pretty good. Lately though, it’s been filling up with green slimy stuff. I mean, sure - I can empty it and clean it, but it happens pretty fast and I’m looking to not do that much maintenance if I could avoid it. Is there anything safe that you’ve heard of that can help in this situation? I live in Florida so I think it’s pollen and a bunch of goose poop and algae. I don’t want to put bleach in there. I’m just curious what this group might think could work. Thanks

Geese do nasty stuff to their water. They poop in it and they wash their mouths out in it. I don't believe there's any good way except dumping and refilling on a regular basis. Any sort of filters couldn't keep up.
