How do you clean a pool full of leaves and algae?

Answer 1

Vacuuming large debris through skimmer without using a leaf trap.

A leaf trap has a bag inside for catching debris and is placed between the end of your pool vacuum hose and the skimmer. It keeps leaves from clogging your skimmer line when you vacuum.

It's OK to not to use a leaf trap as long as you are vacuuming small things that can't clog the skimmer line, but never go without it when sucking out acorns, sticks, large quantities of leaves, etc. This can lead to a service call to unclog the skimmer line.

Answer 2

You either wait and they will clear in time, if the chlorine is reasonably strong. or try to put a litle dry clorine in a sock and hold it directly on the stain. if that doesn't work try the same thing using dry acid.

Answer 3

Algae are very slimy and will not get out just by ordinary washing. The slimy coat on top actually protects the algae from reaction to the chemical composition that is used to clean the pool. To make sure the algae does not stick around even after chemical treatment of your pool, scrub the algae to break the slime and expose it to chemical reaction. By doing this, you will expose the algae to react with the chemical treatment when you eventually shock the pool.

Answer 4
