Can you clear a pool that has great amount of algae buildup without draining it?
Yes, you can. First, add your algaecide. Second, add a flocculant (or coagulant). Third, shock the pool. Fourth, run the filter constantly. After a day or two, the dead algae will settle out. Vacuum it out to waste. Good luck.
If the water is still green after changing the filter adding algaecide and shock what else can you do?
Extend filter run time to 24/7 and re read the instructions on the products that have been added to the pool. k Extend filter run time to 24/7 and re read the instructions on the products that have been added to the pool. k

How do you remove green algae from an above ground pool if you are not able to vacuum?
i would use algaecide and vaccum and it would coem back after a day or 2 on the surface, i tried brushed and getting it into the mix of the water and algaecide it -samething what i found to work so far is vaccum your floor, back wash the filter and then brush the walls and floor, the water will get cloudy, then add alagecide, then 20 min later add 5 lbs of shock. the water will bubble this is the killing process, run filter 24 hrs and reasses situation. I backwashed again, and checked levels . obviously chloring is still plenty, but i revaccumed, adde dmore algaecide, and ran the filter over night surprisingly the chloring level on the 3rd day was in 40% so the algae ate it. 2 more lbs of shock, and 8 hrs of filter and i can say im in need of a ultra brte, water clarify only i need to pump 8 hrs a day at least 5 times a week, and add algaecide every 5-7 days and ill be ok

Nope you do not have to replace the sponge. Air filters differ a lot from different suppliers. The sponge is just added protection that is not required to run your wrangler safely.
How do you feel about oil additives on stuck lifters on Ford push-rod 98 Crown Vic?
Before you change oil and filter, add a bottle of engine wash to clean the engine, run for say 5 minutes. I take the car for a short run and then change the oil and filter. Might need several treatments, but if the lifters are just stuck this will work. Then just add your normal oil after. You can do treatments back to back.
Do you need to run your pool filter if its not being used?
