Green Pool
We have an above ground pool and it has turned green over the past few days, everyone is saying it is because of the heat and just to keep adding Algecide . The pool is a 24ft round (55000 litres) and has a sand filter. Can anyone help with this. Our Chlorine is non existant even though we have shocked it and keep shocking it. We are fairly new to owning a pool and not sure what is the best course of action.....

Read Defeating Algae. Get yourself a proper test kit, either the Taylor K-2006 or the TFTestkits TF-100. If your CYA level is high (> 60 ppm), then dilute the water to lower it. Use chlorinating liquid or 6% unscented bleach or if your CH level is low (< 200 ppm) you can use Cal-Hypo. Do not use Dichlor or Trichlor unless your CYA is very low (< 30 ppm).
