    Almost certainly. The only thing that might be a problem would be if you'd added a copper algaecide.

    To vacuum, what you need is a vac head, a pole, and a hose that's long enough to reach from the center of your pool to the ground outside your pool.

    Go ahead and read the pages I linked; that will help you get ready for the stuff that will have to be done. When doing the bucket test, don't disturb the water after adding the chlorine. I want to see if the iron will settle densely -- sometimes it settles as a fluffy later that's almost impossible to vacuum.
