My husband and I are both disabled, and we're finding that we cannot stay on top of keeping the filter cartridge clean. Since we've been trying to tackle an extremely green pool, the filter ends up needing to be cleaned more than once a day. And it's just not happening.

I am "able-bodied" but legally blind. So, my main challenge is the intricacies of removing the lid from the pump and then replacing it. I haven't tried to do it, but my husband says it can be difficult for him to line everything up properly, even with normal vision.

So, I was wondering, could we ease the load on the filter by putting a 1-25 micron bag like this in the skimmer? And, if so, which micron rating should we use? Would 1 micron put too much strain on the pump?

Like I said, I'm able-"bodied". So, I can clean a skimmer sock all day if I have to as long as there are no small details like screwing something back in place.
