Dead squrriel in pool?

okay get this my dad is pumping the water out of the above ground pool. no cover on the pool all winter this dead animal has been in it for well over 4 months just rotting away and when its about 2 feet high hes making me go in and scopping the water out with a bucket. what the hell their has to be some better way i mean this is like 2008 and we gotta go in and use buckets because the pump doesnt work that low? I dont feel like getting a disease is their some way the water would be safe to go in. say dump like 5 gallons of chlorine in it lolDead squrriel in pool?
a pump will probably suck up the bottom liner of the pool


try using a garden hose and just syphon it out that way. It will take awhile but no damage to the pool linerDead squrriel in pool?
That happened to me, believe it or not. We found a dead squirrel floating at the top of our hot-tub. There are trees above it and there was also a branch in the tub, so my guess was that the squirrel was climbing, fell, and drowned. It was disgusting, though. Took it out with the net we used to take leaves out of the pool and put it in a garbage bag...
the pump should work that low. get a longer hose or pretend to be sick (dizzy, that way you can't walk). there's no reason the pump won't work except that the hose won't reach over the side of the pool. or go over a friend's house until he's all done with the pool, make him do it. ; )
Here is an idea. Get a net and remove the squirrel. Then, go get a sump pump and pump the water out.
if you do not want to get your hands dirty with the dead squirrel,pick it up with your teeth!
try a cellar pump!
