We are getting ready to do a soft opening and our water is already green. We've got trees next to our pool that drop seeds into the pool until early June so we normally do a soft opening to prevent the pool from turning green until the seeds stop dropping. We waited too late to do the soft opening this year due to an illness and now I don't know what to do. If I could get the pool to clear up some by by doing a SLAM with liquid chlorine, I'd like to do it. I could keep the pool cover unattached near the deep end return so I can test the water and add chlorine. If this won't likely work, I guess we will skip the soft opening and just wait a few weeks to open up the pool when the seeds stop dropping. The water will likely be dark green by then since its so warm and I worry that permanent staining could occur. Opening the pool and taking the cover off now is not an option that I'm willing to deal with because the seeds will clog the filter and it will be hard to clear it up.

Removing a corner will work if you can get to a return. Start the SLAM process. Print out the checklist. Go! Link-->SLAM Process
