What chemicals do you use to prepare your outdoor inground pool?
Most pool owners carry chlorine muriatic acid and algaecide. The wisest thing to do however is to take a water sample from about an arms length down in the pool in a cleaned bottle to a pool shop where they can test the water and let you know exactly what you need.

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.
Can you clear a pool that has great amount of algae buildup without draining it?

How long until it is safe to swim in a 20000 gallon pool that has 1 gallon of algaecide in it when it only was to get 12 point 8 oz of it according to the directions?
It will take from days to weeks to have that much algaecide displaced. You should not use the pool during that time. NEXT TIME READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PRODUCTS THAT YOU USE BEFORE YOU USE IT. I would also watch out for any side effects from the copious amounts of algaecide used.

What should you do if you accidentally put two and a half times more algaecide than the recommended dose in your pool and is it too toxic to go in it?
Vaccum the algaecide and its treated remainder to WASTE. Keep testing until it is ok. It should be fine. You may also call the company who makes the algaecide to get their suggestions. When I had a problem with my pool about three weeks ago, the pool company put a LOT of algaecide in the pool and then I vaccumed it to waste. Now I put just the minimum in each week to prevent algae from growing.

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.
