Using Robot To Vacuum Right After Opening

[TogaFam]

Hi All!
We just opened our pool on Monday and it’s clear but has quite a bit of tree debris and algae on the bottom. The chlorine and other levels aren’t perfect but are in the ballpark. I’d like to run the robot vacuum but I’m wondering if it’s just going to stir up and spray the algae around. Would I be better off using the manual vacuum? Thanks!

The robot does not do as good of a job.

But.

He can do said job over and over and over while you enjoy doing something else. Press a button, toss him in, and comeback whenever to empy the filter and toss him back in.


Once clean, Overnight Chlorine Loss Test to see if you need to SLAM Process. If your FC doesn't hold, you can skip the OCLT and go right for the SLAM. We will be happy to assist if need be.
