Best Answer

Negligence. failure to clean the dirty filter - failure to maintain chlorine, pH levels - failure to run the pump and filter long enough.

Any one or all of the above listed items. Clean the filter. Run the pump 24/7 until water clears. Add chlorine - a minimum of one to four gallons - for plaster - depending on pool size and type. You may need to add Yellow Treat or Yellow Out for severe algae growth. FOLLOW THE LABEL INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!

How do you stop a pool from going green?

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.

I have a large pecan tree over my pool. In the fall when the sap starts to fall out of the tree my pool turns green. What do I do to prevent this every fall?

Cut down the Pecan Tree. The tree is in not on my property I have run across this problem with Eucalyptus Trees, as they have a high phosphate content in their leaves and sap, being algae eats phosphates .... a green pool in less than a day. I recommend that the next time your pool turns green. Take a water sample ( 16 0z water bottle is perfect) to your local pool store, Leslie's is our local branch name; and have them analyze what agent in the sap is causing the algae to be hospitable. They may also recommend a product they sell to remedy the problem. Hope it works out for you.
