The " yellow " is most likely algae. You need to read a book on pool maintenance! Neglect is another answer. Run the filter 24/7 and add Yellow Treat and liquid 12.5% strength chlorine according to the directions on the algaecide Yellow Treat.

First of all, your pool probably was already on the verge of turning yellow before the rain. Rain has some contaminants in it and the runoff from the deck and vegetation etc also bring more contamination. You most likely are running the pump and filter at a minimum time run and that is contributing factor. You may be adding little to the pool as far as pool chemistry is concerned. Neglect of the pools requirements will also add to the fast buildup of algae, slime, black algae etc. k

How can you turn yellow grass green?

Other than by painting it yellow, all you have to do is cover it up, and the green chlorophyll pigment will fade. Grass under temporary swimming pools usually turns yellow and may begin to ferment (rot). Grass that stores its pigment during the winter usually turns brown (tan) rather than yellow.
