Tips for closing a GREEN pool?!

[Kmeans]

My husband decided to start lowering the water, to make for a quicker close when we were ready. Well, he forgot and the water went below the return. We have been away, and busy and it’s been neglected. I want to close it this weekend, and it’s very green. Better to close it and deal with it come spring, or pour a bunch of shock in and try to mix it around?

Everything has been put away, so any option to fix this without have it to reopen the pool, refill etc, would be amazing

Thanks for any advice!

My opinion: Wait till spring and then do a proper SLAM Process

Will the swamp ruin the liner?

Not that I've ever heard.....and probably less than just tossing a lot of granular products willy nilly.
Will you be covering the pool?

Sometimes winter snow/rain can help owners who need to exchange water due to high CYA levels... so that's a potential bonus for you if yours are high?

Yes- I’ll be covering it today hopefully

It’s always been clear when I close it, just throwing in two gallons liquid shock, and always clear come spring.

So just wasn’t sure what to make of this!

I didn’t check CYA
