We have little bugs and pod scum in our pool any idea how to get rid of it?

Question

the little bugs are white with red like little eyes. they swim not ontop of the water under it. the have antenii and weird shaped legs can anybody tell me what those little buggers are?

Answer 1

no idea, but shock your pool

Answer 2

shock it, and add the proper amount of chemicals. The shocking will kill the scum and the bugs. If there are bugs being able to swim around and frolic in the pool, the chemicals are not strong enough. That was always one way that I knew that my chemicals needed to be rebalanced -- was the little swimming guys.

I am soo glad I don't have a pool anymore.  Good luck!!
