I have some basic questions about vacuuming.
The SLAM instructions talk about vacuuming. I'm not clear if that refers to using a robot or to manually vacuuming the pool.
I use a Hayward robot. But I've been told that I should take it out when I "shock" the pool (i.e. when the chlorine level is really high). If that is true, then it seems that I can't use it when I SLAM.
Can I use the Hayward during SLAM? If so, are there any Do's and Don'ts?
Or do I need to get a manual vacuum? If yes, then pretend for a moment I know nothing about manual vacuums (in over 30 years of pool ownership, I've never used or even owned a manual vacuum). Can you please point me to some resources as far as: 1) what to buy; and 2) the basics on how to use a manual vacuum (where to plug in, etc.).
