Historically, it costs me about $30 to fill my pool, so that's cheaper than dumping 20 gallons of bleach over a few days trying to kill all this algae (that will still have to be removed).
The problem is that the Intex drain adapter has a structure that algae is going to quickly clog. Last time I drained the pool, it took 3 days, and I never got all the algae out. (I tried vacuuming the remainder off the bottom, but way too much got through the filter and just clouded the water.)
My current thought is that I'll take the filter off my vacuum and pump and just run the output line to the ditch. Is that an option? If not, what are my other options?
Thanks!
