How do you get green out of pool water have shocked it alot?
Other than shocking your pool to remove the green, you will also want to do several other things. First, make sure that your pool chemicals are balanced (chlorine, alkalinity, ph, and calcium hardness at correct levels). You will also want to treat your pool with an algaecide since the green is probably algae related. Also, automatic pool cleaners will aid in removing the green substance that is already in the pool and a good, working filter will help to take the green out also.
How much is a lot? We had put about 30 pounds of shock and were getting nowhere. We added algaecide with copper (HAS to have the copper). Let that run for several hours then added 5 pounds of shock. We let that run for several hours, added another five pounds of shock. By that time we were finally getting a chlorine reading. The next morning we added another five pounds of shock and finally got a “white” pool. Then we had to put in flock out to drop the stuff to the bottom. After all that we had to vacuum to waste to get rid of that much stuff. Pretty tough and expensive task. We are adding a salt chlorinator next weekend.
