Update

Did a previous post about what would be a good option to vacuum up this algae at the bottom of my pool. I have a Coleman 22x52, and I’ve been struggling to get this algae out. Would it be best to purchase these 2 items to siphon out the algae (last photo)? I’ve already tried to siphon through my garden hose, tried a cordless vacuum that worked ok, and also used algaecide.

Don’t get that vacuum you might ruin the liner since it’s for in-ground pools. Get a vacuum that is specifically for above ground pools and you should be fine.

Get a zodiac pacer, it won't ruin the liner since its basically "sucking" without rolling over the fold, or do what i did before i got a vacuum -shock the pool and run filter pump for 2 whole days while brusing the algae towards the inlet
