Answer 1

i had the same pool and the same problem  i went to a pool store  and the guy told me that  the pump for that pool isnt big enough and the manufacturers were butt heads lol he said to wait til the sun goes down and put like four gallons of the chlorine in it the do the same every couple nights with only one gallon  all i did was empty it and refilled but my water bill was like 300 dollars so i didnt do that again lol

Answer 2

Shock it with liquid chlorine or bring a sample to your local pool supply store. They will test it for you.

Answer 3

I'm no expert at pools and stuff but one time that happened to my friend. it turned out to be because she had just put chemicals in it. so if you just put chemicals in your pool wait a little bit and it should turn back to normal. hope this helped

Answer 4

Take a sample of your pool water to the nearest pool shop & they will test it & tell you exactly what to do. We get ours tested regularly.

Answer 5

I've owned a pool for some time now. The chemicals you mixed together may have reacted badly, though it's also possible the reaction caused an algea plume. Since it's a blow up, (above ground?) pool, I think it'd be easiest to let the water out, and then refill it again. If that is impossible, go to a store and buy the water testing materials. You may have to readminster the algecide, followed up with bleach. This should clear the water.

Answer 6

Super Shock it,and keep pump running.It will be clear soon!

You might have to shock it a few times, q day till clear.Keep the chlorine tabs in all the time. Hope this works!!

Answer 7

try taking out the water and then put more water in
