Larvae In Above Ground Pool

by Jef

We have an above ground pool that we recently found possible mosquito larvae breeding under a overlap on a seam inside the bottom of the pool.

We have since vaccumed inside the seam. Is it safe to retreat water and use?

Thanks for the question Jef

I would tell you to be sure to secure and seal up any other areas that mosquitoes could possibly get into. Obviously they need a damp area in which to breed and you don't want that in or around your pool.

After you get rid of the infestation of mosquitoes and the larvae, it would be a good time to check the water.

I'd encourage you to get a Taylor FAS-DPD K-2006 pool test kit.

If there's anything wrong with the readings, I can tell you exactly what's wrong and how to fix it with the least amount of effort and chemicals. Hopefully everything is right.

Hope this helps and have a great Summer.
