Well, yesterday I put in 3 lbs. of shock, and let the filter run overnight. Woke up this morning to perfectly clear water. It wasn't quite the disaster I thought it would be. However, now that the water is clear, I can see about 3" of leaves covering pretty much the entire bottom of the pool. Fun, fun, fun... Thanks for the advice.

We just moved into a house with a 27' above ground pool. Unfortunately, the pool hasn't had any chemicals in the past 2 months or so, and the water is green to the point of not being able to see the bottom of the pool. We're in PA, so we won't be using the pool until next year, but I'd like to get this cleared up as well as possible before we winterize the pool. What is our best course of action, or should we just winterize the pump/filter, cover the pool, and worry about it next year? Thank you!
