I’m a new pool owner (bought a house with a pool) and since opening the pool I’ve been battling a lot of debris on pool floor as well as cloudy water. The mesh covering over the pool last winter had torn in a couple places along the seams and allowed in lots of leaves and debris. I have done a ton of brushing and scooping to get the debris out. I’m now left with smaller bits and pieces of debris that’s settled in the bottom and is harder and harder to scoop out.
Separately, i also have cloudy water and I think some of the debris is hindering my ability to maintain proper chlorine levels. So i want to clean as much of that bottom debris out as possible so I can better balance my pool water...and then clear up the cloudiness.
So my question is, is it a bad idea to attempt to vacuum this debris without being able to actually see what I’m doing?
Does this order of operations make sense? Or should I try to clear up cloudiness first and then get to the bottom?
