Sludge

[wmmallette]

I had a drain cover get broken at the end of the season last year. I removed it with the intention to replace it, but forgot. Now I’m trying get my pool cleat, but I thunk the drain line is mostly clogged and I am not getting the algae on the bottom of the pool to the filter to backwash out. So I cannot catch up enough on algae removal to make a noticeable difference in cleaning. And the algae is like 3 inches of a thick sludge.
Help!

If you have three inches of thick sludge in the bottom of your pool it is time to call in commercial strength cleaners.

Pool companies have standalone vacuums like the Riptide that can clean out a pool. Call around and see what your local pool companies can do.

do you ave a manual vacuum, one that you put a hose directly in the skimmer opening? Then you can either vacuum to the filter or if you can set the filter to waste, then vacuum to waste.
