    well, not sure what to do. We are currently without power and isn't anticipated to be back on until Monday. I checked the chlorine level this morning and the FC was 1, CC was .4 and pH was 7.3. Is it ok to walk along the edge of the pool and dump some bleach in, if it's not being circulated? On a positive not, the dead algae settled and I can see the bottom and the water is clear. So when we get power back I can give it a good vacuum to waste. Just trying to figure out what to do until we can get our pump running again. Thank you again for the suggestions.

    If you haven't already figured it out, yes, you can pour bleach in around the edges, and stir the water with your brush/broom.
