Question

I bought an intex pool 15' and filled with well water and it is green any suggestions it cant be algae?

Answer 1

As I'm sure you know well water isn't chlorinated.  It is also usually very balanced making it a great place for algae to go quickly.

Answer 2

Did you add all the chemicals, like chlorine and shock it? I would call a place that sells pools and ask them to be sure.

Answer 3

it could be sediment.  also, there could be algea growth if the chlorine level isn't in balance.

Answer 4

I would check with a local pool supply store and ask about having your water tested and they can make recommendations.  You might then want to buy the chemicals at Wal-Mart which is sometimes less expensive. I bought chemicals for my 12 foot pool three years ago and we are still using same bottles (stabilizer, shock and algae/pH control) because they are packaged  for huge pools.
