I added a copper-based algecide to our pool. Then 12 hours later, I shocked to pool. Our pool water turned a chocolate brown. What happended was the algecide was copper-based, and the copper reacted with the chlorine in the shock... and turned brown. We had to wait for the chlorine level to significantly drop, then add metal remover. Let the water circulate until clear. Then re-shock to get the chlorine levels up. If you wait to shock the pool too long, your water will then turn blue (ours did!).
What else can I help you with?
Should you go ahead and drain a pool that has turned brown from well water?
you should drain it using your mouth
You just converted your above ground pool to salt water and it has turned green?
Just the same as not putting enough chlorine in the pool. You can treat the water the same as you would have and increase the production of the salt system.
If you had the faux rocks around your pool re-colored and the chemicals used to color the rock fell in the pool water and turned your Tahoe blue pebble-tec to brown how do you clean it?
Drain and acid wash
You heard new pool water is green and turns blue in a few days is this true?
You have to treat pool water with pool chemicals and use a pool filter to get and keep the water clear.
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.
Why did my pool water turn brown when I turned on my salt water chlorine generator?
It's doubtful that the problem is related to the salt or the chlorine generator, assuming that the pool was a chlorine pool before the installation of the system. If it was a Biguanide pool, that might explain it but generally the reaction is grey and cloudy, not brown. If the pool was turned off for an extended period of time, it is more likely that something came out of the filter and plumbing. You can email with a better description as to pool type, how old, what you were using before the salt system, and how long the pool was down, etc. for a more complete answer. info@thepoolandspawarehouse.com
What was the quality of the Rio Olympics pool water?
During the Rio Olympics, the pool water quality was a concern due to issues with clarity and color. The water in the diving pool turned green, which was attributed to an imbalance of chemicals.
Have a half a foot of algae water in my intex pool Do you treat it first or fill it up then treat it?
If you are not worried about the pool floating on a high water table or you have a hydrostatic valve on the bottom. I would drain it clean it and start again.
How can you get the orangeish brown water out of your swimming pool?

What pool chemicals remove bacteria from the water?
Chlorine is an effective agent against treating your pool against bacteria. You can buy supplies to test and treat your pool at pool shops.
Can you swim in pool with brown water?
Yes, only use clear clean water in your pool {;-). Seriously, why is it brown. If it is from rust, then you can purchase a clarifier at your pool store. If it is from leaf decomposition, then Chlorine will eventualy take care of it. If it is from pee, it is your call.
Can water be syphoned out of an above ground pool with hose in it connected to a silcock that is turned off?
