Question

I had gotten sick and wasnt able to clean my pool for a cpl of weeks and now it is green.i have shocked it and added algicide to it,it cleared the water up but the algie is still on the bottom when u go to vacuum it out it turns the water green again and then settled back to the bottom.what else can i do to settle this problem.thanks

Answer 1

brush the walls and bottom down good ad clorine to pool wait 24 hours then check chemicals.because algicide is in pool that will eat what clorine you have in there.you may have to add more.be sure you back wash filter good,wait 24 hours then backwash filter again.the way to tell if algie is dead is it will go from green to a golden brown.own pool company for eleven years

Answer 2

You need to add chlorine right now and leave it to do it's work...make sure it dissolves.

Answer 3

My bf owns a pool store....shock the c**p out of it, put your chemicals in it...then try a scum or scuz bucket I think it's called. It is like a sponge, you throw it in and it will absorb all the junk...then skim...you should be good....if not you need some maintenance because your equipment isn't working properly!
