Can plastic bb pellets in a swimming pool floor cause the filter or pump damage?
if so, how should i remove them from the swimming pool floor? the pool is approximately 12 feet deep, and the pellets have accumulated themselves in the deep end, right next to the pool’s floor drain.
I do have a vacuum, but one that connects to the skimmer, which then is passed to the filter. however, my concern is that hard plastic pellets may damage the filter. hence the question.
BB’s in the pool…I can only imagine through what sort of hi-jinks that came to be.
Regardless, the obvious answer would be a pool cleaning vacuum but since you’re asking this question your pool probably doesn’t have one. Plastic pellets can be notoriously hard to clean up; being underwater only complicates matters! If they have already accumulated in a controlled area as you indicate, I would suggest diving down (a scuba mask would help with visibility) and gather them into a zip-lock sandwich bag over your hand much as you might pick up dog droppings. You will probably have to repeat this process several times, surfacing for air and to empty the bag.
I hope this helps!
Edit: Seeing now that you do have a vacuum, you might want to consider slipping a nylon panty-hose over the vacuum line where it connects to the skimmer. The friction of the coupling should hold it securely in place. The hosiery will serve as a pre-filter and accumulate the plastic pellets and any other particulate. When you are satisfied, simply disconnect the vacuum line, remove the panty-hose and voila.
