Green water!!I just put new water in my 5500 Gal. above ground pool.?

Question

I just put new water in my 5500 Gal. above ground pool. I put algaeside in it & some stableliser..also I put 1 pack of shock treatment. It turned dull green in 5 minuits! what could have turned my nice clear new water green so quick?

Answer 1

the shock can turn it green and if its not balanced and the pH is of that will turn it green. I suggest getting it balanced cleaning it well and replacing your filter. If that doesn't work than you can take a sample of the pool water to a near pool and spa place and seeing what they suggest.

Answer 2

take a water sample to your nearest pool dealer and they will tell you exactly what, how much and when of what chemicals to put in your pool. They have helped me as a newer owner of a 25,000 inground pool owner. Thank god for Leslie's Pools!

Answer 3

Algaecide.
