I had the same problem and tried everything to get rid of them.....ended up draining entire pool and then scrubbing with diluted bleach, rinsing, then re-filling again and problem free 3 weeks later.

i get tons of black worms about 1 1/2 " long and i think they come from a very large pine tree............when the wind blows hard, and it rains lots, and needles begin to turn red and fall.........the next day the bottom of the pool literally has hundreds (all dead) and i vacuum them up and empty my skimmer basket............gross...........i would love to cut down the tree because of this problem, but of course, the tree looks nice??????

I found a couple of very thin, long blackish brown worms in my shower, and I belive they are horse hair worms. They say they are not harmful to pets or people.

How do you keep worms out of swimming pool?

Pile a small line of crushed shells along the pool deck edge. The sensitive worm's tummies will prevent them from crossing over to the pool. The problem is the worms crawl out during rain, then when the rains stop, the worms dry out and head for the nearest source of water - your pool. Stop them from entering your pool deck area in the first place with crushed shells. Ian D.

We have an inground concrete salt water pool in Sydney have hundreds of brown lines an inch long in the pool look like dirt but when broken open hundreds of tiny red worms appear how do we get rid?

thats a bad idea to have an inground salt water pool in concrete. the salt water it self may eat away some parts of the concrete, plus the fact that its underground and contains salt it attracts worms. maybe you should pour alot of clorine in the pool to kill them, then empty out the water and start fresh.
