green tinted water

[John B.]

You don't say what the total alkalinity might be. If low, even though everything else is OK, this can cause a greenish and cloudy tint. Slowly adjust the TA to 80-100 PPM. Then, of course, the pH will be off. Adjust the pH to 7.2 and super clorinate with liquid chlorine. After 8 hours , shut off the pump, let the particles settle out and give it a good vacuuming to waste. If still green and cloudy, get a good commercial de-mineralizer and follow the label instructions. Good luck and I hope this helps.
