Why does a pool turn green after adding water from below the tile line to the mid-tile line?

My guess is that the pool was under-sanitized (insufficient chlorine for example) before you started adding the fill water. The fill water is also probably under-sanitized, or at best would have very little chlorine in it (and possibly some phosphates). You should keep a good residual of free-and-available sanitizer (chlorine for example) at all times - and add more sanitizer to cater for new topup water.

What is the best chemical for a pool in Oklahoma?

The best method of purifying your pool water is, without doubt, the saline (salt) water system. With only pure natural salt added to the water (very mild salinity, 1/3rd as salty as your own tears) a Saline System will produce all of the sanitizer your pool needs. It completely eliminates the need to add pool-chlorine, algaecides and 'shock' chemicals. Annual operating cost is as little as 410 worth of topup salt. You will have the best water you have ever seen or swum in, guaranteed.


Why are your trees and shrubs dying after your neighbor drained his chlorine pool into your backyard?

Chlorine is used as a sanitizer for pools, not a fertilizer for plant. It kills things, like bacteria. Chlorine is a chemical and will kill, or at best, hurt plant and trees.

How do you get the pool water clear?

ANSWER: Keeping your pool clean and clear is all a matter of balance. Just enough sanitizer, enough water movement, the right pH and temperature, and regular brushing and vacuuming. The two most important things to consider are sanitizer and water movement. Stagnant water breeds bacteria and other micro-organisms, which is fine if you are a pond, but not so desirable if you happen to be a swimming pool. Humans also introduce bacteria into the pool, as well as oils Use a sanitizer to kill the bacteria and help control algae growth. The most common sanitizers are chlorine and bromine based compounds. · Ideally, your pump should run for about 10 hrs a day. If all else fails, a coagulating agent, usually a polymer, can be used.
