    You want to "shock the water, so put the full gallon in at once. Check your chlorine levels 2-3 times per day. I'd vacum and brush once a day.

    If you have a drops tester that reads to about 3 ppm and turns the test water yellow, after shocking the test water should come out nice and dark brown, indicating that the chlorine levels are up there. If the test water is getting in the range of your test kit to read, add chlorine. 1.5 gallons will put in about 20 ppm so I would start with that level until the green clears up.

    If you do dump and refill, it would be good to shock the new water in case any live algae is in any nooks or crannies. After that be sure to keep your pool at 2 ppm minimum if you CYA is low.
