Adding a green dye or mixing blue and yellow liquids can turn a liquid green.
Well...yes, but not in the way you are thinking. Let me explain. The algaecides you are thinking of (Linear quats and Polyquats) that are sold in the quart containers are not meant to be added on a continual basis. They are meant to be added once a week, several ounces at a time. They are good at preventing algae. But what most folks don't know is that chlorine is actually what kills the algae. The algaecides simply help it along. They strip the cell walls of the algae and allow chlorine to do its thing. And of course, there are chlorine dispensers for the tri-chlor tablets. Even though you didn't ask -- the best algaecide is Polyquat. Usually the larger stores like Walmart and Kmart don't carry it, since it's more expensive than the linear quats. However, polyquat is more effective and it has no side effects. It also acts as a clarifier. Cheapest place to buy Polyquat is from intheswim.com or lesliespool.com, it's generally sold by the name "Polyquat 60" or "Algaecide 60". A quart runs about $20. The linear quats (the chemical name begins with the word "Alkyl") are okay; but they foam. The other type of algaecide that is effective is Copper. Algae can't grow even with a relatively small amount of copper in the pool - but I don't recommend copper. It can (and will) stain concrete pools, and it can turn blonde hair green. In fact, if you have enough copper in the pool to kill algae, you probably have enough to stain blonde hair. So stick with the Polyquat algaecide.
water chemistry effects sanitizer level- adding water dilutes sanitizer level - rain dilutes plus puts enviromental pollution into the pool - your swim load affects sanitizer level - your water temperature (Warm) and the Sun can burn out the sanitizer level- was the filter running was the pool crystal clear what type of filter do you have? To many variables, take a pool water sample to your nearest dealer and discuss your problem with them so they can properly diagnose your pool
The red rose may appear distorted or changed in color due to the green tint of the glass. The green glass will filter out certain wavelengths of light, affecting the red rose's true color and appearance when viewed through it.
Algae feeds on light. Leave your light on longer or put your tank near a window. Beware of high phosphates though. They create a microscopic free floating algae that cant be caught through a regular filter. If this occures i suggest using API phoszorb filters. They work great!
By killing the green algae with an algaecide available at your pool shop.
Green plants evolved adding oxygen to the atmosphere.
Your pool turning green is a common problem caused by algae, and certainly requires treatment! It is hard to tell how serious your algae infestation is, or what exact type of algae you are facing, but that diagnosis can easily be found by visiting the link below. There are several steps that you should follow immediately in order to begin the recovery process.First, regulate the pH levels and balance water in your pool. Second, Clean your filter, adjust the valve for optimum circulation and allow it to run all day until the green fades away. Backwash if you feel necessary.Following these steps, if your pool is not sparkling, I suggest an algaecide which will destroy the algae. After you have discovered what type of algae you are up against, you can then choose the algaecide that will kill it. With the right filtration, cleaning, and algaecide, your pool will be ready for the summer before you know it!
I'm guessing it was probably the GREEN light, and that somehow it had something to do with why the filter was named a "GREEN" filter, and why when you looked at it, it looked GREEN.

Chlorine and Algaecide, and flocculate then when the algae is dead vacuum it to waste from the bottom of the pool. ( Follow the instructions on the containers)
you use a green filter in front of the light and you should just get green light passing through as all the other colours are absorbed by the filter. the filter would just be a sort of plastic thing which is green in colour :)
Only the green portion of the white light would pass through the green filter. The filter absorbs all colors except green, allowing only green light to pass through.
If green light passes through a cyan filter, the filter will absorb some of the green light and allow the rest to pass through. The transmitted light will appear as a slightly dimmed green color due to the absorption of some of the green wavelengths by the filter.
A green filter will transmit green light by allowing only green wavelengths to pass through while absorbing other wavelengths.
Adding yellow and cyan creates the color green.
Algaecide can usually get rid of algae. Unless the water in circulating there is no way to prevent algae buildup on wet surfaces.
