You must first determine the cause of the green water - then rectify that. The green water could be the result of the equipment not functioning correctly, or not being operated correctly, or being undersized for your pool. Or it could be a water balance problem.
Shock it. Sold at Walmart, Lowes, or possibly your grocery store.
The fastest way is empty the pool. Be careful of temp and water table though.
haha, no Not just from dogs swimming in it. It can turn green because of the water being dirty. If it is your swimming pool it probably needs more chlorine or whatever you use for keeping it clean. If it is a kiddie pool just change the water.
* To clean a pool and new fresh water when the water is green you have to drain the water. * After all the water is gone wash the pool * When that is done you can fill the pool with fresh water. These steps depend on what kind of pool u have!!! I would assume that the above is referring to pools without filters and pumps. The answer should be lots of chlorine and 24/7 filtering of water.
If it is structurally safe to empty the pool (consider type of pool, ground water level etc - check with a Pool Service) sure it can be emptied and refilled. That's probably the best way to clean up the pool walls etc and star with fresh water. Add salt and connect the Saline System and you'll have the best pool water in town. If you cannot empty the pool, you need adjust pH to correct range and treat with chlorine (check dosage wih Pool Shop or Pool Service Co) and vacuum - probably best to vacuum to waste, not into your filter. You also need to have the filter stripped down and checked out. If your pool is that green then it may be easiest to drain, clean and start fresh. Be carful draing a pool in the winter as high water tables could push the pool up out of the ground like floating a barge.
Green
To clean a green or murky pool, add more chlorine at intervals directed on the package until the water becomes clear. If the problem persists, use your test kit to determine if you may need to add a different chemical to fix the problem.
It wont hurt them the concentration of salt in a saline pool is about the same as that in tears which is very low. besides there are a lot of places where ducks swim in sea water or brackish water any way. My brother dog drinks his water exlusively from the salt swimming pool and has gotten quite old so far.
The salt in a saline pool will help you float, so it probably is easier to swim in.
clean it out with a pool vacuum. it is about 20$ at the dollar store. You might want to buy a disposable paper filter and hose or a reusable sand filter and hose.
There are two nouns. Water and pool are nouns.
The time it takes to clean green algae in a pool will vary depending on the severity of the algae infestation, the size of the pool, and the cleaning methods used. It typically takes several days to a week to completely clean and remove green algae from a pool. Regular maintenance and proper chemical treatment can help prevent future algae growth.
