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.

∙ 9y agoAlgae 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.

The time it takes to clean green algae in a pool will vary depending on the severity of the algae infestation, the size of the pool, and the cleaning methods used.

The best way to clean a pool with dried out leaves on the bottom is to fill the pool about an inch deep and allow enough time for the leaves to loosen up. Once the leaves are floating loose, take a wet and dry vacuum and suck out the leaves and water together.
