  1. Oh, I also meant to say that even if the pool stays covered and no tears in the cover occur, it's still a project getting the cover off without dumping the accumulated muck that is on top into the pool. We usually fill our pool right to the tip top and fold the cover in half while pulling it off. This isn't easy since we have a round 24' pool. The water under the cover can be crystal clear and if you aren't careful when taking the cover off you can still get into trouble.
  2. We have had a green pool before and never emptied it. I also had a coffee colored pool when switching from Bacquacil (spelling) back to chlorine. I don't know about your area, but we have a great pool store right in town that tests the water and can tell us exactly what to do to clear it up. It's still early in the season and I hate to see you put all that water down the drain. We have problems here with oak leaves and even though we cover it, we still end up with them on the bottom of the pool slimy and gross. Emptying the pool would work I guess, but I would really get professional advice before doing it.
  3. Take a sample of your water to a reputable pool store, they will test it and tell you EXACTLY what you need to do and when. We've had this problem multiple times. It might take a week or so, but do what they tell you and you should be fine. Try to get the pool as clean as possible prior to treatment...meaning vacuum on waste any yuck at the bottom and make sure all the leaves are out that can clog your filter have been scooped out, don't try to vacuum those up. Good Luck!
