    I think if it were my pool, I'd turn off the pump and see if most of it would settle on the bottom of the pool and then vacuum it out.

    Good luck and welcome to the Pool Forum!

    What Mom said, with two further notes:

    1. Use bleach to chlorinate, while the pump is off.

    2. Vacuum to WASTE if possible, rather than to the filter.

    Sounds like a great Approach Mom and Doc.

    Bet there was a blue streak of cursing that day.
