^ahh – perfectly clean pool again, with very little work. I've heard it said, "It's easy to clean clean" – and it's the truth. Vacuum frequently – whenever you see anything at the bottom – vacuum to waste, top it off, add enough shock to counteract whatevers in the new water, brush the sides now and again to prevent biofilm… — if I have the enthusiasm to keep this routine up all summer, hopefully we'll be okay. Anything's easy once you have a routine.^
