How do you get rid of visible green algae if the chlorine level in your pool is a little high but the water is balanced and the stabilizer good?
They are on the right. --> Use pool shock. Double shock it to get rid of algae. Start using "No-Phos" or "Phos-Free". This eliminates the food for algae. Use an algacide to kill the existing algae. Brush all the surfaces of the pool every day to keep algae from latching onto the walls. Vacumn and backwash twice a week to get rid of the dead algae. Make sure your pH is correct so the chemicals can work properly. Once your water is clean, keep using the No Phos product every week. This has saved us hundreds of dollars in chemical use. I'm not sure what you mean by "the water is balanced", but if it means that your PH and Alkalinity levels are ok, then I would suggest making sure that the chlorine levels you're checking are for Free Chlorine, not Total Chlorine (there is a difference). If the Free Chlorine is fine, then as the first guy said, I would shock the pool. If your Free Chlorine dips below the normal levels, however, you should use chlorinating shock. That way the chlorine jumps up, and any chlorine tablets you add into the pool will keep the chlorine level high.
Once the algae is dead, brush the entire pool (including the walls, floor, and any stairs, ladders, lights, or other objects that are in the pool). Brushing the pool stops the algae from sticking to anything in the pool, and allows it to be picked up by your filter. After you brush the pool, run the pump, and clean the filter when necessary. You'll know the algae is dead when the pool stops being green - the green color is chlorophyll, which is the chemical that the algae uses to get energy using photosynthesis.

What is Turbo in stabilizer?
Oh, dude, Turbo in a stabilizer is like when you want to boost your stabilizer's performance to the max. It's basically a setting that makes your stabilizer work faster or more efficiently, like giving it a shot of espresso. So, yeah, it's like putting your stabilizer into overdrive for those extra shaky moments.
Every time we shock the pool the water turns green and in less than 12hrs we test no free chlorine. Will high levels of iron and copper cause the loss of free chlorine?
Check your Alkalinity and PH. Those need to be balanced (in recommended range for your pool type) first. If not, chlorine will have little affect, and it will be eaten up quickly. It's actually amazing how important it is to have a fairly balanced pool before shocking.
The oxidation number of chlorine in the compound PbCl2 has to be?
-1
Why would I have no chlorine reading after shocking in the evening then added another shock one the next day fine-acid a little low cloudy-milky water?
Sounds like you may have some problem with algae And you my need to add a stabilizer to help preserve the chlorine. Your best bet is to take a water sample from the pool to a pool shop where they can test to see if you have the balance right and tel you how to put it right if it isn't
Is the Little Dipper always visible?

How is swimming pool water tested for chlorine and bacteria?

What is the chemical sign for chlorine?

Which type of water contains the lowest amount of chlorine?
The type of water that contains the lowest amount of chlorine is spring bottled water. Normally it contains no or little chlorine.
Do you need algacide after several hot days with no rain?
No, just add a little more chlorine to keep the chlorine level up, since the sun breaks down chlorine quicker. Hatawa
Are the holes from an ear piercing visible?
If you don't gauge your ears they are only slightly visible. If you gauge them then they become much more visible.
How come it is not safe to have too little or too much chlorine in your water?
To little and bacteria can thrive, to much and it can be harmful to the body.
How much of the world's chlorine production does the U.S. account for?
Chlorine production in the United States accounts for almost 30 percent of the world's capacity, but there is little international movement of chlorine because of difficulties related to its transportation and storage.
