I have a huge algae bloom that I need to kill and clear out. This is a 25,000 gallon in ground pool and Pentair 4 cartridge filter. I cleaned the filter twice today and was able to have an efficient pump for only about 15-20 minutes before it completely clogged up and needs to be cleaned again.

Can I just remove the filters and run without them while I circulate the chemicals to kill the algae?

A follow-up... Has anyone tried attaching a hose to one of the outlets of the cartridge tub so that I could vacuum the pool to waste?
