Do you use algaecide and chlorine to get started on cleaning a really green pool full of dead leaves?

Yes. They have different types of Algaecide, you want to use one that is recommended for pool openings. Add the proper amount of chemicals (most bottles/packages have a chart with how much to add) and brush your pool. Fish out any leaves and when you can start to see the bottom start the vaccum. Any pool chemical website has this information.

How do you clean a pool left open all winter spring and fall and uncared for with brown water with leaves and debris?
I am doing that right now myself, i was told to take a skimmer net with the extention pole, of course, and take out as many leaves as possible. I have been adding liquid chlorine myself so while i am taking out leaves the chlorine is in the water.I have been running my filter while doing this so that the chlorine is cleaning the water but make sure you turn off the main drain while doing this because the leaves will sit on top of the main drain causing less circulation of the water which will not help the chlorine clean the water.Once you think you have taken as many leaves out as you can vacuum your pool out which will help clean the bottom of the pool and get remaining leaves out as well.You might want to purchase a leaf canister when you start to vacuum your pool,other wise leaves will get into the pump basket and possibly in your pump.

Does tap water have chlorine?
In some areas, water purification plants use first chlorine, to kill bacteria, and then ammonia to neutralize the chlorine. That leaves traces of chloramine in the tap water. This generally considered harmless to humans, but can kill tropical fish, which is why you have to treat tap water before using it for aquariums. However, as a result of the addition of the ammonia, there is no free chlorine in such tap water.Answer: In most places, yes there is trace amounts of chlorine left in tap water (used in the cleaning process) by the time it reaches a house for use.This can either be filtered out at the tap, or simply put the water in a pitcher in the fridge and the chlorine will evaporate within 24 hours. (do not seal the water in a bottle or you will trap the chlorine, use a pitcher with a light fitting lid so there is air transfer)

No. Chlorine gas (though deadly) is non-flammable. However, fumes from chlorine bleach are not chlorine gas. Chlorine gas is Cl2 and is deadly but does not exist in nature, it must be manufactured.
