If the pool is green, that's algae. I think I am correct in saying this is the best test. If there is a layer of green sludge or dust on the walls or floor, that is also a large algal colony.
Use an algaecide and test for phosphates.
cause of the algae in your pool! c.s.
Yes, a pool can get orange algae.
No, pool algae will not effect the lawn.
After your pool is clear again, test the Ph of the water. You can purchase a test kit at your local pool or home and garden supply store. When the Ph of the water is at a safe level, you can dive in.
Algae, time for chlorine. Pool supply places have a test kit (ph) & can tell you how to use & what to add-chlorine or acid.
If it is genuine 'black algae' it is very difficult to remove without emptying the pool and gouging the black algae out of the pool surface. Other algae can be removed by shocking the pool, filtering continuously and brushing walls while maintaining a good sanitizer level.

To treat black algae you will need to add an algaecide to your pool water. These are specifically designed to kill and prevent algae.
well when you leave your pool covered for the winter, you are unable to put chlorine into it. Chlorine prevents algae so to answer your question, the lack of chlorine causes algae
When a pool turns green, the cause is the build up of algae. To remove the algae, chemicals will need to be bought to restore the PH levels in the pool, killing the algae.
