Firstly we advise to turn off any chlorination device and stop adding chemicals. The chlorine will quickly leave the water. If it is a salt water pond water will need to be emptied and refilled until salt levels are safe for fish and plants. After that we can recommend plant zones and filtration changes.
It can, however its best to change to pond pumps to reduce power, pool filtration media will also need to be modified. We recommend leaving the existing filtration incase of reverting back to a pool and adding pond filtration instead. We often use existing plumbing and skimmers.
Only if adding a vegetation zone. We do recommend doing so although this can usually be achieved without damaging the existing shape.
Yes the pool will go green almost instantly after removing chlorine, we recommend a uv steriliser to combat this which works very efficiently. With time, the green pea soup will dissapear. There are also multiple products you can use to control blanketweed should you get an outbreak and UV sterilisers may be an option.
