nope, no harm in running the filter- the grids are already torn; if you have a bypass mode, I might use that initially; but the pool water eventually needs to cycle inside the filter to kill anything in there also!

Re: Torn filter grids - Need to replace
The white floating stuff is most likely from the algaecide you added. Many of those cause the water to get foamy.

Hi pineapple - welcome to the Forum!
Where about in NJ are you, I grew up in Tenafly.
Does your multiport allow you to 'recirc'? If it does, that will bypass the filter and let you circulate the water and you won't be passing algae-filled water through the gridless filter.
