I always thought that I should vacuum to waste after I brush away algae and shock the pool? Does vacuuming to filter and then backwashing have the same results? I have well water and I would like to minimize the amount of well water I add to the pool.
Also, when I do need to add additional well water, should I add it directly into the pool, or put the hose in the skimmer box, or should I add a pre-filter to the hose?
