Default My pool is a swamp

You're probably vacuuming too fast. The tricks to vacuuming are going
slow and overlapping.

Or, your filter media may be shot, I guess. You said you ran the pump
4 hours a day, that seems as if it might have been enough with nobody
using it.

Do professional pool companies have big suction trucks to vaccuum the junk
off and brush the pool surface real quick or this is a manual and tedious
task no matter how you do it?


Pretty much. Pool service companies may have big suction trucks, I
don't know but I doubt it.

The easiest way (and best, IMO), if you're going to are for your pool
yourself, is to establish a relationship with your local pool supply
company.

You take them a water sample, describe your problem/s, and they'll
tell you what you need in the way of chemicals to make your water
clear.

Algae control may be the most troublesome issue pool owners
encounter. This stuff, though a little spendy, is rumored to be "the
****".
