How do you treat pool water that has turned green after shock treatment?
If it is turning green then the it usually means algae is present. An algacide will need to be used. Wait until the chlorine has gone down . If not it will just eat the algacide. Green can also appear when heavy chlorine levels are present. The sun’s rays will eventually dissipate the chlorine. Also check that the PH is in the right level. This can also cause wierd colors. Add ph increaser or decreaser to get it in the 7.5 range. Also stir the bottom of the pool every once in a while so that the shock disperses throughout the pool. Pools just take patience. Whatever you do wrong can be corrected. Man. I am glad I dont have a pool anymore. (too much work) Hope this helps.
