newbie QUESTION

[rnjng]

YIKES! what should I do??? can I vac. 1st, or should I shock tills it dead and then vac.?

[rnjng]

Also, why is the water clear...is that normal? Does algea cause water to turn green, then settle at bottom and then water clears???

Shock it 'til it's dead and then vacuum. And then make sure you're keeping adequate Cl levels in the pool so it doesn't come back.

Is your pump running now? When you start to circulate your water I expect it will turn quite green. Either way, follow Janet's advice and shock it. Go over the algae thread and do some reading, or the chlorine thread to see the multiple questions and responses about how to completely kill the algae. If you want specific advice for your pool you need to post test results and basic information about your pool so people can help. Good luck :-)

yeah, I haven't had a chance to test water yet. but I know he levels are scary low. but I need to start the pump andstart the bbb method, but 1st need more bleach, tks!!!
