Best Answer

A pool with a poor quality of water has probably caused the greenish colour, it is inadvisable to swim in the pool until the problem is rectified due to possible heath issues. The green colour may have come from and algae build up. To solve the problem a through clean of the whole pool as well as changing the water is probably necessary. To prevent this happening again there are chemicals that should be added to the water at regular intervals to kill bacteria and other unwanted creatures. It would be best to contact a specialist dealer in such things to get a second opinion.

Put in Fresh and Clear and water turned green?

Your pool water may have turned green even after adding Fresh and Clear because of metals in your water. It is likely copper that is causing the water green.
