Green Swimming Pool Water
Swimming Pool Green Water If your pool water is green, follow the swimming pool maintenance tips on the bottle of the algaecide. Swimming Pool Algae PreventionProperly balancing all of your pool’s chemicals will greatly reduce the opportunity to turn your pool water green and give you clear pool water. You can treat brown algae pretty much in the same manner as green algae. Black algae is a different animal all together. Having your
swimming pool chlorine,
pool alkalinity, and hardness adjusted correctly is very important. Remember to
brush and vacuum
your pool because this will reduce the dirt accumulation and algae pores from sticking to the pool’s surface.
If you have
yellow algae,
you'll probably brush it and think it's gone, but it will come back.

Swimming Pool Chlorine - Liquid & Granule
Best Pool Water MaintenanceIf you have green pool water, you must take immediate action in killing the algae. Doing this will lessen the risk of swimming pool stains and will lengthen the pool water life.
Pool Green Water
First You should:I suggest you use granular chlorine, a.k.a. Calcium Hypochlorite, to shock your pool. This kind of pool chlorine has a pH level of 12. For parts of the country that might have hard water, liquid chlorine will do just fine. If you have a DE filter be sure to re-coat the grids with each backwash. Also watch that the pool’s water level does not get below a minimum of 2” from the bottom of the skimmer. You want to get rid of the dead algae. If your chlorine is 1.0ppm then raise it to 10ppm or above. You must do this in order to kill the algae. You must reach that 10ppm or above because if you don’t it’s just wasting time and money. To super-chlorinate you must do this all at once, not over a few hours or days. If you're running your chlorine at 1.0ppm, then bring it up to 10ppm or even 12ppm.. You’ll notice this is working when your water turns from green pool water to white or grayish. Also, there will be dead algae on the bottom of the pool. This can be filtered out through vacuuming the bottom of the pool. Keep brushing and vacuuming to rid the pool and any residual algae and remember to keep filtering and backwashing to get rid of the swimming pool algae. If you have a DE filter, you'll need to re-coat or recharge the grids with each backwash. If you have a cartridge filter, remember to take the filter out and clean it two (2) times per day with a regular garden hose, never a power washer. Brush and filter, then brush and filter, and then after you do those, well you guessed right, it’s time to brush and filter some more. Remember, when you have green pool water or any swimming pool algae problem, there is no quick fix. It will take time, effort, and patience to clear up your pool. When your swimming pool chlorine is down to 1.0ppm-3.0ppm the pool will be safe to swim in once again. Obviously you would NEVER allow anyone to swim in the pool until the green pool water is gone and the algae has cleared up.
