Getting the Green Out Of Your Swimming Pool

swampy green pool

Maybe one day you were surprised to see your pool, it seemed green! You can’t even understand how it happened. Well, there are many reasons why it turned green. The most common reason is that algae have temporarily taken over, so you will need to thoroughly clean and treat the pool before you can start swimming again. Unfortunately, there is no magic way to brighten a green or black pool overnight. Usually, cleaning a typical wetland green pool takes a lot of time, effort, and money.

Imagine all the fun and excitement you get when you hit the public pools from the comfort of your home with your family or even friends. It would be a lot more fun in my opinion.

Swimming Pool

However, as much fun as it is, having a pool is also difficult. This is no laughing matter. Caring for and cleaning is not easy, so you really need to have everything you need to manage your own pool. And speaking of cleaning your pool, have you ever come across a green pool? If you have a pool and have left it running without chlorine for a while, the water will turn greenish. If you don’t fix it, leave it on for a year or so, an adult humanoid creature will emerge from it as a result of a natural evolution in your pool, but I’m kidding. Anyway, if you have these scripts in your group, you can do something about it. If you don’t know what to do with it, here’s a little help.

Determine if the water chemistry is correctable or too complex. You can determine this by looking at the color, whether it is too dark or too light green. But here are some ways on how to clean a green swimming pool:

Check the water for pH balance

Use a chemical testing kit to check your chlorine and pH levels to determine the problem’s extent. When the chlorine level falls below 1 ppm, it can cause algae to grow in the pool, making the water green. When this happens, it is necessary to “shake” the water with chemicals to kill the algae and restore the pool’s normal chlorine level.

Pool Shock

Pool Shock has a high chlorine level, which kills algae and disinfects the pool. Choose a powerful buffer containing about 70% of the available chlorine, which is enough to fight resistant algae and bacteria.

Pump and filter to restore balance

Turn on the pump to circulate the area’s chemicals. Remove leaves, sticks, and other debris that might clog the filter.

Brush and filter

Use a pool brush to thoroughly clean the pool before adding any chemicals to the water. Algae cling to surfaces, but cleaning will remove them. Cleaning also helps break down the algae, allowing the chemicals to act faster.

Maintain balance

All chemical levels should be within the normal range. Try again following the steps above.

The pool should be fun. Not depressing. Keep your water clean and clear and enjoy! Don’t ruin a good summer day by not knowing how to clean a green swimming pool.
