    Will the hth algaecide be ok for me to use? I already have a pool cover that came with my pool. And you want me to run my pump without the filter for an hour?

    Yep. So the algaecide will be mixed without coming out on the filter, which it would otherwise do somewhat.

    Just remember, your pool probably WILL be sudsy and somewhat irritating when you get back, and will take a week or so to get to normal. There are other ways, but you don't have time for them now.
