Foamy pool There are two main types of algaecide: metallic (copper and silver) and quaternary ammonia. Both types are effective, but ammonia tends to be used more often because it's both less expensive than metallic algaecide and not as likely to stain the pool. The only problem with it is that it tends to suds up, which some people find annoying. I think that just running your filter 24 hours a day for a few days will get rid of the foam. Again, failure to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!! but if you're in a hurry use a half a gallon of cascade dish detergent per 10,000 and run the filter for a couple of hours and the foam will be gone
biocide
Algae is fairly easily killed by shocking the pool with a chlorine product such as dichlor or cal hypo. Generally, you will find that you will need at least 10 times the ppm of chlorine currently in the pool. I have had a pool so bad that it took shocking twice a week for 3 weeks to totally get rid of the algae. About 2-3 days after you shock, retest the water for ppm chlorine. If the chlorine is all gone, and you still have live algae, you will need to reshock. This needs to be repeated until the water holds at least 5 ppm of chlorine 2-3 days after shocking. Then you will need to vacuum excess dead algae out of the pool and thoroughly clean your filter cartridges. At this point, you can use a maintenance dose of algaecide to help prevent a future outbreak. I prefer a silver based or quat based algaecide. Copper based algaecide can turn blond hair green.
Make sure during the summer that you always have a 2-4 ppm chlorine in your pool. If you have a heavy bather load, you may use up all the chlorine, which allows the green algae to sneak back in.
check to make sure your p. h. is 7.6, than shock water with chlorine shock from your pool store, run pool for 24 hours and brush and vacuum.
The color of the pool is no problem at all. If the water is green, who in his right mind would jump in?
Hair bleaches in the pool not because of the chlorine, but because of the metals and copper in the water. If the pool has a high concentration of metals and copper, then yes, it will appear or turn a faint green.
It is not the salt water pool or the salt water that is turning your hair green. It is a poorly maintained pool with a chemical imbalance - pH and total alkalinity out of required parameters.
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.
It would cause excessive mud and the swimming pool would sink slightly. It would only cause a sinkhole if there was a hole underground under the pool.
A brown stain could be many things. Copper, iron, organics... I work at Jack's Magic and we specialize in swimming pool stain id, removal and prevention. I would recommend using a Jack's Magic Stain ID kit to identify what type of stain you have and know EXACTLY which procedure will clean up your pool.
Algae will develop in untreated water turning the water green and or foggy. If it is a swimming pool, and you don't mind, it can be treated with chemicals that you can get at the big box hardware stores or a pool supply place. If the pool is for fish you can use a biological filter and pump system.
I would like for you to please remove the alligator from my swimming pool. Yes, there's an alligator in my swimming pool. I suppose the alligator mistook my swimming pool for the nearby pond.
Airplanes do not HAVE swimming pools.
It wouldn't be. If you're swimming in meters the pool should be 50 meters, and I've seen them be 25 meters occasionally. If you're swimming in yards the pool would be 25 yards.
same as the bottom
Depends on the pool.
