Like Sharks searching in the water, side to side. Or Shark fishermen in boats fishing for Sharks, an old trick to get the Sharks hungry and active is to throw some blood in the water. Give it a little time, and watch the Sharks get active. Dangerous?

What’s the Difference!!
Scents. One difference is the scent and smell of th water. Ponds and lakes have an earthy smell that sometimes includes mooldy and mossy smells or scents.

Usually, residential swimming pools, After being cleaned and prepared for swimming don’t have any living bugs, frogs, or creatures in the pool. Pool tips, and cleaning care.
Residential swimming pool cleaning tips and maintenance How to.
The main areas of the swimming pool, pool, are the pool water, the pool container, and surrounding deck and walking areas.
Pool Water
Focus areas:
The surface of the water and top areas of the pool water.
This area needs a lot of attention, care, skimming, and cleaning.
The use of pole and net skimmers is best. A pool pump skimmer basket and filter also helps if you use a power pump and filter system.
The main pool water where people and bodies swim and stand.
Pole nets can also help clean the main area of water in the pool, although waiting for particles and leaves, bugs, etc. to sink to the bottom or float to the top allows easier cleaning.
The bottom water at the bottom of the pool.
Using a power pool pump and filter system is usually the standard method of cleaning the bottom of the pool surface in today’s standards. It is callled vacuuming the pool. A long hose with an average width of 2 to 3 inches, connects to a flat base attachment with wheels that attach to the end of the pole. The poles vary in length, although a pole that extends an approximate 16 to 20 feet in length is needed for most deep pools.
The Pool Container
Note and Tip: Hard work, muscle power, frequent maintenance, and keeping up with the progress you have made are the way it is. Other options are available, but usually not as reliable.
Focus Areas:
The sides of the pool, including curved areas, and areas where green lgae, mold or mildew grow.
Brushing and Scrubbing.
The pole is used for this cleaning with a brush attachment that can be removed and replaced with other attachments.
Brushing off the algae, mildew and the sides of the pool.
Before “shocking” the pool with chlorine pool shock allows the most algae to be killed in the main pool water area.
The top sides of the pool where the surface water touches the sides.
The brush is used in this area also, although a shorter pole makes it easier. Brush the top sides Before skimming the top of the water with the net.
The bottom surface of the pool container, where things fall and rest, including decaying leaves, algae, bugs, dirt, frogs, or other particles.
Be careful when brushing the bottom of the pool surface if you want to vacuum up the debris soon.
Brushing the bottom of the pool surface is needed, although allow time for it all to settle back on the bottom, or be sucked through the filter before vacuuming the bottom of the pool. Note: The re-settling can take hours. The side walls of the pool might also need to be vacuumed after brushing.
Deck and Walking Areas
These are some ofthe most common pool dek and walking area surfaces:
Wood Decks
Concrete Pool areas
River rock pebble surfaces
Focus Areas:
Scrub

Scrub
The brushes might be different, although the work and method is the same. I have used power presssure washers and strong chemical solvents, although after all that, using a lot of water, a good brush, and effort gets very similar results without the obnoxious noise and toxic solvents.
Using a lot of water is essential.
Prepping the surface so it is thoroughly wet, and then scrubbing with a brush and water, moving the slime in the direction you want it to go.
Rinsing with follow up scrubbing washes away the grime.
Let dry to see results.
Make Notice and/or signs for areas of the deck that are slippery.
