Question

Why is my swimming pool water green even though its fully chlorinated?

Answer 1

It could be too much iron in the water. take a sample to the pool store, they will diagnose it for you.

Answer 2

is the pool clear jade green?...could be a mixture of too much chlorine and/or copper in water....cloudy yellowish green is usually algae

Answer 3

Oh dear!  A GREEN POOL?  This is a problem!  I dare say this is not the right color for a proper pool, perhaps a pond maybe?  Get to checking your chemical composition on your pool,  check to see what is high and what is low, then fix it.  Or take a fresh sample straight to the pool store for diagnosing!  You have a major malfunction and need to get it right before swimming in it.  Pool water should be clear, clean, bright and sparkling, with a proper chemical balance.  I had mine turn ONCE last year, after we went to Durham, NC for some surgery on my niece and I let the pool fend for itself.  Took two days to get back on top of.  Never let that happen again!  But it was only a slight greenish tint, resolved with a shock and a chemical to drop the particulates out.  Cleaned right up!  Hope this helps you!  Good luck!

Answer 4

chlorination is not an entire solution for keeping water clean. u should have to replace water at proper time. so that contamination can be completely eliminated.

Answer 5

Maybe its overchorinated?  Maybe you need to check into other chemicals that you need.

Answer 6

Maybe it's pollen from the trees.  Get a filter going.
