I'm going to try to condense mssg & type it via phone but will take me a while.I have a 20000Gallon pool marsitefor37yrs. Husband deceased so I've taken care of pool last 18yrs w no problem- til now. Wentto visit family, asked friend to care for house& instructed abt pool. Unknown by me,they had a timer put in while I was gone& it went on while pump valves were closed& blew up motor. I had new motor put in pump& installed by electrician. Pool turned green+ my peeping Tom neighbor called code on me so I had to do something fast to get water clear whilegetting new motor. I don't swim anymore bec of peeping Tom, so I used LOTS of chemicals First,I put in excessive algaecide& super shock. Then raised pH&added flocculent- nowLOTS OF SMALL LEAVES from 's silver oak& dead algae on bottom. Do NOTwant to run that thru pump nor filter. I thought if I primed pump 1st while in recirculate mode & water from skimmer it wouldn't gunk pump nor filter w excessive dead crud via bottom drain Problem: none of valves are labelled&electricianshut all valves. I flushed vacuum tube& pipe from skimmer to pump w fresh hose water. I'd like to shut drain valve initially & run clearer water from top thru pump to prime it,then turn valve to waste to bypass filter.Problem: electrician shut valves while Installing pump&I'm not sure which ones to open. Also problem getting seal back on filter basket. If pictures won't attach, will send ňext
