Net as much out as you can--but with a cartridge filter I don't think you have a way to vacuum out to waste, so I'm thinking it'll have to go through your filter...

My pool is sparling clear! Now the task is to get all the dead algae out. I blocked the skimmer and figure that the bottom suction should suck it all up. There are 3 suction covers in the deep end so if i sweep everything to them, then hopefully it will filter it all. I stirred it up this morning and will see how it looks this evening. Hopefully it's not all just getting recirculated. I may try to vacum to waste but using a sweeper and opening the hose outlet before the filters.
If anyone has any ideas, i would love to hear them.

If you stirred the stuff up, you may want to check the pressure on your filter often. It will probably rise quickly as it becomes full of dead algae.
