    How to clean a pool after neglet for months and the bottom is absolute black
    We leave in a tropical climate, been away for 4 months come back to a pool water a bit green but the bottom floor is covers with green algae which is so hard to scrum off.

    I would pressure wash first, Bleach solution may be needed after, not sure of amount and the application.

    Shock treatment 2 cup twice a week, Algae blow out treatment once last week. Scraping small areas with steel brush, When water is clear and debris settle at the bottom vacuum twice a week. Kept topping up with chlorine.

    One day I will get rich and buy myself one of these robotic pool cleaners :-))) Wonder if this day will ever come. Until then I will have to do all the nasty work by myself :-((
