Yes, you will lose quite a bit of water when vacuuming to waste. Try and scoop out as much debris with a net as you can before you start vacuuming. You may be able to get most of the solid debris out. Also, go ahead and take the chlorine up to shock level and let it start doing its thing. Actually, as the chlorine starts to work, your water may clear up pretty fast and you may find that there isn't as much in there as you might think. If you can get the leaves out manually, bleach will take care of the algae.
