re: Best way to reclaim post-Ida pool?

I would get leaves out best you can and start throwing gallons of bleach in there now to kill the algae. Try to get water moving and mix it with a brush or net manually. When power comes back get the pump filtering 24/7 and clean filter or backwash often. Look up SLAM on trouble free pool.

Good advice. Really should have elevated chlorine levels substantially before the storm hit. If you have a robot, you can run that off a generator for a little filtering. It won’t be like the filter pump, but it’ll help and mix up the water at the same time.
