Opened the pool today. Some sludge and worms on the bottom. I noticed the unit would only be able to make a few passes before not being able to climb up the walls and after a bit out of the deep end. Seems when the basket gets full its too heavy to move. Could this be the case? This unit...

We have some algae, green and black in our pool. I bought 2 quarts of liquid 60 algaecide and box of bags of shock. Do I just pour the algaecide into the the pool around the perimeter? Put it in the skimmers? What's the best method? After the algaecide is in can I shock it or should I wait...
