The best time would be in the morning or evening, when the sun isn't directly overhead. The glare it produces is a hindrance and annoying.

How do i clean an above pool with no water in the pool but has dried up leaves in it What is the best way to get leaves out and what to use to clean pool?
The best way to clean a pool with dried out leaves on the bottom is to fill the pool about an inch deep and allow enough time for the leaves to loosen up. Once the leaves are floating loose, take a wet and dry vacuum and suck out the leaves and water together.
Why would there be brown algae on the bottom of a gunite pool and how do you get rid of it?
Algae spores float around in the air and can hit your pool at any time You can fix it by 1 shocking the pool and scrubbing the walls and floor of the pool if this doesn't clear it up just get an algaecide from your pool shop. When you vacuum the dead algae out of the pool it would be a good idea to vacuum it to waste to reduce the risk of reinfecting the pool.
Replaced the pump in my above ground pool as it wasn't pushing out enough pressure for the vacuum now I have thick looking stuff at the bottom I don't think the auto vacuum will be able to move it.?
Have you used clarifier or flculent at any stage to clear the pool water. If you have the thick looking stuff is the clarifier or floculant settled on the bottom. The pool pump will pump this stuff only it is important not to put it through the filter as it will block it up in no time. Gently hand vacuum it to waste.
What is the best time of day to vacuum?
The best time of the day to vacuum is in the morning.
Why would there be dirt along the seams in your in ground pool when I just vacuumed it last night?
I have the same problem, I think it is the dirt and dust in the water that settles to the bottom of the pool during the night. I now wait until morning to run the pool cleaner. Found it to be a waste of time doing it at night.....
Your water is clear but some kind of scum keeps settling to the bottom even after vacuuming?
This sounds like flocculate, or clarifier, The next time you vacuum the pool gently vacuum the scum at the bottom to waste, Do not put it through the filter. you will lose a bit of water but it should top the problem from recurring if I am right.
Do you add flocculant with the chlorine in the evening or in the morning after?
Flocculates can be added any time you like. And generally should not be put through the filter of the pool.When you add a floculant it is best to stop the pool altogether for a couple of days to allow the flocculate to settle along with the impurity's to the bottom of the pool. you will note a cloudy layer at the bottom of the pool when this has happened.Hand vacuum this layer carefully to waste. Do not put it through the filter. you may have to repeat the procedure until the water is entirely clear.
How do you get rid of dirt in a swimming pool without a vacuum?
This sounds as thought the laterals in your sand filter are worn. Laterals are horizontal spokes at the bottom of your sand filter with tiny holes in them that let water through but not sand. After a time the holes get enlarged and start allowing sand through and back into the pool
If a inground pool is so green you can't see the bottom and have no clue the last time it was used can it be drained and cleaned?
If it is structurally safe to empty the pool (consider type of pool, ground water level etc - check with a Pool Service) sure it can be emptied and refilled. That's probably the best way to clean up the pool walls etc and star with fresh water. Add salt and connect the Saline System and you'll have the best pool water in town. If you cannot empty the pool, you need adjust pH to correct range and treat with chlorine (check dosage wih Pool Shop or Pool Service Co) and vacuum - probably best to vacuum to waste, not into your filter. You also need to have the filter stripped down and checked out. If your pool is that green then it may be easiest to drain, clean and start fresh. Be carful draing a pool in the winter as high water tables could push the pool up out of the ground like floating a barge.
Do you run the pump after putting flocculent in?
When you put floculant in the pool you do not run the pump. you let the pool sit still for about two days. This will allow it to settle. After that time you will notice that there Is a cloudy area at the bottom of the pool. This is the floculant and all the contaminants that it has dragged down to the bottom as it settled. This will need to be vacuumed to waste DO NOT PUT THIS STUFF THROUGH THE FILTER,(VACUUM IT TO WASTE.) It's ok to pump it but not to run it through the filter.
Can you purify a green pool?
Yes you can. First of all shock it with chlorine and hit it with an algaecide. This will kill it of. let the pool circulate for a day or so. stop the filtration equipment and turn it to waste. Next cast a floculent (clarifier) over the surface of the water. do not turn on the filtration equipment. leave the pool to settle for 2 or 3 days. At the end of this time you will notice that the water in the pool has cleared up completely, except for a clearly defined layer at the bottom of the pool. You gently lower a hand vacuum into the pool and then vacuum this layer carefully to waste ( do not try to filter this stuff as it will block the filter in about 1 minute) vacuum it to waste until it is completely gone. you will lose up to a foot (300mm)of water doing this.
The Pool is milky white how do I fix it?
First of all try hiting it with an algaecide If you are luck that may settle it down if that doesn't do the job hit it with a clarifier, your pool shop will have it in stock. cast a clarifier over the surface of the pool and let it rest without the pump going for at least a full 24 hours. At that time you will notice that the pool water is clear except a layer at the bottom, carefully vacuum this layer out to waste, do not put it through the filter
