How to remedy your Green Pool

Posted On

Pools can be temperamental and a green pool is no fun at all, and it’s often hard to fix. Here’s how you can remedy a green pool:

Get a water test
The significance of a water test is to make sure you have a clear understanding of what’s affecting the water in your pool from a chemical balance point of view.

Shock your pool
Shocking the pool is one of the most effective ways to get the job done. You can shock the pool by using huge amounts of chlorine. Chlorine naturally gets burnt off by direct sunlight, so consider shocking the pool when the sun has gone down.

Filter
You need to turn the filter on for at least 24 hours to get the dead algae out of the water, ensure that the shock has fully dissipated and that the water is completely clear.

Brush
You can also clean a green pool by using a heavy industrial brush. This is labour-intensive and time-consuming but the process takes care of algae on surfaces in and around the pool.

Regular maintenance
Regular maintenance shouldn’t be overlooked because it ensures the sustainability of the swimming pool. You can do this on a weekly or monthly basis depending on the availability of time and resources.

Implement the guidelines provided above to assist with maintaining a clean swimming pool.
