I have not opened my pool for two years.
I tried opening my pool over the holiday weekend...
I have a Kayak 16x20x4 and have always struggled with startups. I think I see the source of my frustration as the paper element type filter that my pool came with. I realized this year that I just about ruin a filter per startup since I dont have a vac to waste feature. Lets see, two filters per year at $130 or just buy a sand filter... So I am getting a Hayward sand filter. My pool wasnt too green, more of an issue of something (old cover) have deteriorated. These particles are really hard to get out. I now have my chemistry about right and the water is getting more clear, but I continually have to remove my filter, spray it off and put it back together. My new sand filter should arrive before next weekend.
I need pool school and will be watching all the videos I can...
