Hmmmm, not really. The consensus is to continuously run the filter 24/7 to circulate the chlorine, and allow the filter to capture the algae. Putting a skimmer sock or old panty hose over the skimmer will capture more algae, also. Need to rinse that off several times a day, as it WILL get very gunked up. Backwashing filter will clean out the dead algae, too.

It was my experience that if I tried to 'vacuum to waste' the dead algae off the bottom of the pool, I stirred up quite a bit, AND lost water in the process. I ended up just running the filter and backwashing. Cleared in about 5 days.

Good luck.
