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.
