Thanks yall. I thought it was the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard, but I’m only three months into pool ownership. I shocked the shite out of it before we left and added chlorine bleach when I went back. Got some debris out but I had broken my big net so wasn’t able to get big crap off the bottom.

So far, the pool isn’t bad. It’s a bit of a pain, but I’m getting the hang of it

Like everyone else said manually skim everything you can in the pool. then just SLAM the pool and it will be back in no time. mine never got green as my power was only out for 25 hours.

i do not buy into adding ANYTHING to the pool regularly except liquid chlorine and acid. I do supplement Cyanuric Acid, as i dont use tablets, and Calcium Chloride as levels warrant it.

If you are new to your pool check out Trouble Free Pools and their Pool Math app. it is the easiest process to follow to keep your pool clear. SLAMing is Shock Level and Maintain. as just shocking your pool might not kill all organics in the pool/plumbing/ filters. Bringing your pool to SLAM level and keeping it there will ensure everything is killed all while being able to still swim(if on the lower end of the SLAM).
