well Quick update. I have yet to find any water that claims to be steam distilled so I have not been able to get an accurate reading on chlorine levels. I have been adding about 4-5 gallons of bleach per day and cleaning the filter atleast 3x the pool has moved from a slimy green to a weird shade of blue maybe a turquoise i Can now see dark objects on the bottom but not the bottom itself. I am not exactly sure what this blue color is as its not a color i have ever seen in a pool before. I am in high hopes that it still a manageable algae bloom.

I have broken the extension on my telescopic pole when i was bringing leaves out of the center bottom of the pool. I now only have about a 12-13 foot reach. would it be safe to get in the pool to clear out the leaves in the bottom. It would not take more than 10-15 minutes max (besides the water is extremely cold) I would shower directly after Im just not sure if it would be safe ? can anyone please advise.
