Happy Memorial Day Weekend, folks!
The basics (also in my sig:
18' x 36' Inground Pool/Vinyl Liner
Hayward DE4820 filter
1 HP Sta-Rite DuraGlas pump
Thanks in part to the bane of my existence -- my mesh pool cover -- I opened to a very green liner. Part of the issue was not prepping the pool as well as in recent years. I was expecting not to be living in my home this year, but that's a story for another day.
The pool water itself is not that bad, actually, but the liner is coated in a pretty decent amount of green algae.
My question is, if I use the SLAM method, will that algae be killed and then it is time to get rid of it through vacuuming to waste or is it worth it to try and get the algae vacuumed to waste along with any debris in there BEFORE I start SLAMming?
Thanks!
