Nobody wants to see green pool water in their swimming pool. It’s a sign that your pool water isn’t healthy, and that algae is developing in your pool. There are many reasons why your pool water could turn green. With that said, there are many ways to address this matter. Read on to find out how to deal with green pool water.
Conduct a Water Test
By getting a water test done, you can determine what chemical dosages your swimming pool needs in order to keep your pool water healthy. Gather up some water to test (about one arm’s length beneath the water’s surface), and be sure to get that water tested inside of a couple of hours. This will present the most accurate results for your pool water analysis.
Re-Balance the Water in Your Pool
After you’ve conducted your water test, you’ll know which chemicals you need for rebalancing the water. Typically, chlorine is needed, as you can often get green pool water as a result of low chlorine levels in your swimming pool. While you’re re-balancing the chemicals in your pool, you should avoid swimming in the water because this can cause skin and eye irritation.
Clean the Surface of Your Pool
If there’s any stubborn algae or dirt that needs to be loosened, you should scrub your pool walls down with a pool brush. You should also think about vacuuming the pool area while you’re at it.
