Okay, quick breakdown of the MacGyver in the kiddie pool...first solution was a plastic hanger with screen from an old screen cut to size and wrapped around it, but I was still missing the little dirt.
Most people think that it is necessary to continually refill kiddie pools; but if you keep them clean and sprinkle a little spa shock in them every couple of days you can save water and $$!
Solution #2, Cheap badminton racket (got this one at a thrift store for $1), wrap it with old panty hose, and voila! A fantastic way to get the little dirt particles out of the kiddie pool!
