    Overnight has made a big improvement! I suspect it will take several days of filtering, vacuuming, brushing, etc., but real progress is being made!

    Yes, but is it a 3/4 UP-rate or 3/4 FULL-rate impeller?

    Never mind -- I think you've found and fixed your problem. If it's working, it's working, and don't mess with it, unless you just like to tinker!

    Success! The water is sparkling clear. The dead algae is all filtered out and vacuumed off the bottom.

    Remaining problem - Lots of green stain at the water line and a fair bit of stain on the bottom off the pool. What is the best way to remove the stain?

    "Green stain" is generally live algae! Brush & chlorinate and do NOT let your chlorine levels get low, even for a second!

    Greenish blue stains can be copper. That's a whole other deal.

    I am documented red-green color blind, so forget what I said about green stain. I just asked my wife to describe the stain color and she says it is yellow with a slight brownish tint.
