If you can't, or don't want to drain the pool, just 'shock' it and get all the other water balance numbers right (pH, conditioner etc) and then filter it continuously until its OK. (Backflush filter often). Best to take a sample of water to your local pool store and buy whatever chemicals you need. Convert to a salt-water system if you want perfect water all the time, automatically.

I can recommend "POND CLEAR", a powder that is mixed with water according to the instructions on the bottle. There are many other products on the market also to choose from. I regularly use it in one of my small 'still' ponds. It works really well and is absolutely safe for any pond fish. It is a soluble powder concentrate algaecide for a broad spectrum of algae in fish ponds. It is quite expensive but it goes a very long way - the 150gram bottle will clean and clear up to 18 000 litres.

BUT = for a little extra money you could buy a small pump to iliminate your problem.

What is the characteristic of coconut vinegar diluted with water?

The vinegar acetic acid like smell is the characteristic of coconut vinegar. The smell is somewhat reduced if the water dilution is 50% water. Less than 50% you will not really notice it.

If you really desperately need someone to smell his or her own feet, then touch their feet and tell them they now smell like cotton candy.
