How to get your pool back from Green to Clean.

If your pool has turned green, it is likely due to the growth of algae. Here are the steps you can take to get your pool back to a clean state:

1. Test the Water: Use a pool testing kit to determine the pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels of your pool. Adjust these levels as needed to ensure they are within the recommended range.

2. Brush and Vacuum: Brush the sides and bottom of the pool to loosen any algae or debris, and then vacuum it up. Be sure to use a pool vacuum designed for your type of pool.

3. Shock the Pool: Shocking the pool means adding a large amount of chlorine to the water to kill off any bacteria and algae. Follow the instructions on the shock treatment package and be sure to run your pool pump for at least 24 hours after adding the shock treatment.

4. Clean the Filter: After shocking the pool, clean the filter to remove any debris that may have accumulated. This will help keep the water clear and prevent future algae growth.

5. Maintain Proper Water Chemistry: Once your pool is back to a clean state, it is important to maintain proper water chemistry to prevent future algae growth. Test the water regularly and adjust the levels as needed.

6. Use Algaecide: If you continue to have problems with algae growth, consider using an algaecide to help prevent it from coming back.

By following these steps, you can get your pool back to a clean and clear state.
