Hello, I've recently purchased a property and learning to maintain a pool for the first time.
I have a chlorine dispenser, and it appears to be drawing chlorine from the blue tank but the contents of that tank is a yellow/green liquid. I am assuming this is the chlorine, but should it be this colour? I am guessing not but asking for some guidance.
Thanks in advance!

Is the chlorine meant to be this colour?

Looks fine to me, depending on the age will affect the strength
Test with a sample of tap water and see if it raises the chlorine level

Oh I didn't know chlorine was meant to be this colour as it looked like algae but thank you!

Don't forget to test it as it may be old and not as effective

I also experienced the same thing, I thought the swimming pool chlorine was contaminated but it turned out to be that color.
