Has anyone seen any cheap pool skimmers in stores or should I just order one and wait? Just set up our little pool and it’s full of grass clipping of course ‍♀️

Also, I’ve found a big shallow plastic bin to wash feet before getting in is a nice preventative (if and only if kids are old enough to understand it)

We got tired of cleaning this, put a bucket outside of pool for washing feet before jumping in. Not 100% effective but helps with mud & grass

What kind of pool is this?!  
by (3k points)
@cordillera62 it’s a step 2 big splash center. I don’t think they make them anymore. The previous owners left this for us when we bought the house.

@cordillera62 darn. I came with the same question. This looks awesome.

We set up a tiny pool (or even large container) for stepping in before getting into the pool. Maybe put at bottom of slide stairs ‍♀️
