The pool water is green because of algae- which is a type of plant. You just need to add more chlorine to kill off the algae...

Can you get sick swimming in a green pool?
The color of the pool is no problem at all. If the water is green, who in his right mind would jump in?
Will pool lights corrode in a saltwater pool?
Not if all chemistry is maintained at or within proper parameters. K
How do you get rid of really green water in above ground pool?
Green pool water is caused by algae. To remove the algae, bring the pH level of the water to 7.8, scrub the sides and bottom of the pool, shock the water with chlorine, then vacuum up all the dead algae.
The pool was real clear after it was filled -new pool- and then it was shocked it with liquid shock and it turned green any sugestions pool filled and shocked and turned green all in the same day?
It is chlorine reacting with the metals in your pool water.
How do I clear a murky green pool?
* To clean a pool and new fresh water when the water is green you have to drain the water. * After all the water is gone wash the pool * When that is done you can fill the pool with fresh water. These steps depend on what kind of pool u have!!! I would assume that the above is referring to pools without filters and pumps. The answer should be lots of chlorine and 24/7 filtering of water.
If your pool water is super green and want to change over to a salt water system do you need to shock and vacuum pool before using the saltwater system?
it depends on the kind of salt water you have believe it or not there is different kinds from different componies so it all depends if they all ready did thet for you or not
How do you get your green pool water clear?
A filter. Or you could take the leaves and stuff out. It might just be the reflection from the trees. If you think its really bad, you should drain the pool, wash the inside, then fill it with clean water. I say add algecide after scrubbing sides and bottom of pool while pump running after that get all levels of pool to normal if still green repeat algecide 48 hours later and vacuum.
What is next step to correct slightly green cloudy salt pool water that tests fine for chemical levels and has been filtered properly?
First of all bomb it with extra chlorine. if that does not work try hitting it with an algaecide, Keep in mind that many salt water pools can not handle metal based algaecide.
Plant watering with salt water pool water?
Watering a plant with any type of salt water will cause the plant to wilt. Because of the salt outside the plant cells, water leaves the cells in a process called osmosis. With less water in the cells, the cells shrivel up. If they shrivel up, the plant loses it's ability to hold itself up.
What do I do is my pool remains green and cloudy even after running the pump for 5 days straight?
Try to get it all into a filter while at the same time keeping the pool moving (the water moving) and putting chemicals in twice a week. If your pool is green with algae, that means that the water has been sitting still for awhile, the filter hasn't been working, and that there aren't any bacteria-killing chemicals in it.
If you lived in an area with very cold winters should water be kept in you outdoor pool all winter Why or why not?
No, water should not be kept in your pool all winter. When it gets cold enough, the water will freeze. When water freezes, it expands. So when the water in your pool freezes and expands your pool will be ruined.
What is the difference when opening and or closing a chlorine pool versus salt water pool?
opening a pool is different then closing a pool because opening the pool is when the pool is all filled up with water an fixed an has chlorine in it and closing the pool is if u don't have no chlorine in it and it is not fixed or don't have no water in it
