What is “Green Pool” and what causes it?
“Green pool” is when a pool or hot tub/spa where algae growth has overrun the water. Your pool’s water will most likely have a cloudy green hue as a result of different elements such as rust, leaves or pollen in the pool. Algae overgrowths in pools are often caused by a chemical imbalance in your pool water such as an insufficient level of chlorine.
An insufficient level of chlorine could be caused by not adding enough chlorine when you treat or shock your pool. It can also occur if you had an increase in recent heavy or unusual use. If your pool has the right level of chlorine and your pool is still suffering from a green pool, the water’s pH may not be adequately balanced. Chlorine cannot do its job correctly if the pH of the water is not stable. You can avoid this by regularly treating your pool, whether you do it yourself or you hire a company like Executive Pool Services and Repairs. We will take more than a one-size-fits-all approach to your pool’s regular chlorine treatment.
However, because every pool situation is different, each case of green pool requires specific and unique treatments that have a better effect when administered by a professional. That’s why we recommend you let your local Executive Pool Services and Repairs technician take care of everything. This could save you from the potentially pricey and hazardous hassles of trial and error green pool cleaning.
