Typically, pool water turning green indicates algae growth. If the pool takes a mild green tint, you are in luck, as it means you caught the problem early on. It also means that there is an undetected chemical imbalance. When chlorine levels are too low in the pool, algae can attach to the pool surface or float and grow.We recommend you super chlorinate your pool’s water using pool shock. This will kill all bacteria and algae, but depending on the pH levels, the water may get cloudy to very cloudy. The pool water will clear up once your filter is running. Should this method not work contact your local pool service professional.
