well that time of year is coming around again and after all the great info i got last year, i figured who better to ask! still rather new to pools and i recently came across a pool pump and filter at a job i was on and got what i think to be a good deal(100$) the filter is a swim pro sw236t the pump is a hayward super pump 3/4hp i recently found out that the pump is an inground pump and am wondering if there will be any issues in using it?? my pool is an oval aboveground 40-50k litres thanks in advance

hello everyone last august i purchased a house which came with this pool. my intentions were to tear it down as the tarp had fallen in,the water was greener than any pool i had ever saw, and it was stated that no pool equiptment was included. well once i moved in i realized that the pump and filter were left behind . the pump is a jacuzzi 3/4hp(not positive) and a jacuzzi sand filter. i decided to hook it up and if all was running well i would attempt to get it swimmable. well i probably spent close to $300 in chemicals and just as i was closing it, i could see the bottom!!!!! well i pulled off the tarp last week and to my amazement the pool was crystal clear, but the bottow and sides were quite dirty so i brushed the sidewalls and bottom. BIG MISTAKE i think, as it stirred up alot of dirt and the pool went green almost over night. so i took a sample to the pool shoppe and this is what i got chlorine 0.15 p.h 7.3 alkalinity 80 stabalizer 2015 pool adjustments broadcast 2.2 kg of buffer add 5l of chlorine(i added 10) add 750 gm stabalizer once clear sound about right?? i also have a very very basic question(dont laugh haha) i cannot for the life of me figure out how to properly hook up the vaccum :| last year i got it to work once(properly? not sure), and within a minute i had to tear down the pump to get all the debris out of it. hoping someone can put their 2 cents in much appreciated mike
