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!!!!!
k
the chlorine, it also turns blonde hair green, trust me
The Rio pool turns green due to a chemical reaction between chlorine and substances like algae or urine in the water, causing a green tint to appear.
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.
You have to treat pool water with pool chemicals and use a pool filter to get and keep the water clear.
The Olympic pool turns green due to a chemical reaction between chlorine and organic matter, such as sweat and urine, brought in by swimmers. This reaction forms a compound called chloramine, which gives the water a green tint.
It Turns Green. Its not the chlorine, it av=ctually hard metals such as copper
By killing the green algae with an algaecide available at your pool shop.
Copper is a metal that turns green when oxidized.
The pool turned green in Rio due to an imbalance in the pool's chemicals, specifically the pH levels, which caused algae to grow and give the water a green tint.
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.
it turns black
My pool looks fine, thanks.
