What is the cause of green algae in pool?
Algae are a very simple type of plant, and like all plants they need water, food, and sunlight. There are different types, the most common being one of the varieties of green, but there is also yellow "mustard" algae, and the dreaded "black" algae which is hard to get rid of. Chlorine, Bromine, or an alternative like Baquacil is added to a pool to make it a hostile environment for algae and bacteria. If the chemical composition of the water is kept properly, algae shouldn't be able to grow in a pool. However, if the chemical level drops too far, algae can grow. They feed on phosphates and other trace chemicals in the water, and use the energy from sunlight to "power" their food-making process. One way that algae can get a "jump-start" is if there is organic debris in the pool like leaves, grass clippings, flower petals, etc. This organic debris is a prime source of fresh algae spores, and it will also react with the chlorine or other purifying chemical in the water, in effect using it up, causing the chemical levels to drop. To avoid this double-whammy, daily get organic debris out of the pool and skimmer baskets. If you have an algae problem in your pool, see your local pool store for chemicals to "shock" the pool by boosting the chlorine content briefly, an algaecide for the specific type of algae you have, and a treatment to remove the phosphates from the water to prevent future algae growth.

Why is your pool water still cloudy green after the Algae has been killed?
Cloudy green pool water after algae treatment can be due to several factors. Even after killing the algae, dead algal cells and debris can remain suspended in the water, contributing to cloudiness. Additionally, improper filtration or insufficient circulation may prevent these particles from being effectively removed. It's essential to vacuum the pool, run the filter continuously, and possibly use a clarifier to help clear the water.
