How do you turn swimming pool water from green to blue?

Answer 1

I have found with communicating with other pool owners that the color of your liner has alot to do with the water color. My pool is blue and white which gives the water that tint. If you have trees or other objects that reflect in your pool that affects the true color. Although it may not look clear it probably is! When I reopen my pool for the summer you can differently tell that it is not clear,but alittle TLC and its back to normal. I use chemicals from a company called "In The Swim." I purchase a spring start up kit and follow the directions and usually within a week or less my pool is crystal clear. I do my weekly test to make sure that the chemical balance is where it needs to be. I treat it when nessecary and in the winter I purchase a winterizing kit.

Though chemicals from the above mentioned chemical are of very low quality,And your pool dealer who says the liner is the reason.have a little credibility Balanced water is the key to color. Chlorine 3.0 ppm Ph 7.4 Alkalinity 100 ppm Calcium in the 250 350 ppm range and a cyanuric acid level of about 60-80 for outdoor pools,Your water will be a carribean blue. I service pools in Utah and have the prettiest color in the valley.Pay attention to detail

A: The color of the liner etc may have some influence on the color or appearance of the water but proper water chemistry and filteration are key ingredients to sparkeling water.

Answer 2

A darker colored plaster will cause the water to look "deep blue". If you're talking about an existing pool you would have to replaster or paint the surface. If you're talking about an above ground pool you would need to replace the liner.

Answer 3

You need to use algecide and liquid chlorine. Follow the dosing recomendations for your size pool. Also make sure your filter is clean or it will recontaminate the pool.

If the above fails, Drain the pool (unless it is vinyl) pressure wash all the walls, floor, and steps. If needed, acid wash the surfaces. (research this, recommend having professionally done) refill the pool, re-balance the chlorine, acid, and conditioner. Restart the equipment and enjoy your new pool.

Answer 4

You need to shock it and test the pH. there is a product called shock it especially for that. If it keeps getting green even after put chlorine in it you need to adjust the pH.

Answer 5

You have to get the metal out of your pool.
