I recently moved into a new house with an IG pool swamp that will be untouched for 4 years come spring time when we want to open. We didnt attempt to touch it this year but the few times I've pulled the cover back it just looks like black sludge. You cant even see the top of the first step and theres large plant-like algae growing all the way up to the surface.
I've read through a few of the other swap threads and I have quite the project ahead of me. The previous owner left little to nothing in terms of pool supplies so just assume im starting from scratch. The few threads I read the had gone through 40-60 gallons of bleach over a month long period. Some stores in my area still have limitations on bleach/cleaning products so I dont want to run into any shortage issues come go-time. Will buying and storing be an issue in how effective it will be?
Other than bleach - test kit, leaf rake, good pole, scrub brush, vacuum, leaf vacuum w/ bags. Anything else recommended?
