green pool water after shock

I would lean more toward the heat and rainfall that has caused the problem. Now I only use sodium hypochlorite for shock and I haven't had the problem again. Copper can be the cause of a green swimming pool. Use a chemical test kit to test the chlorine and pH levels and determine the extent of the problem.

It doesn't matter how much shock you put in the pool if you have a bad filter. You can view my article on how to floc a pool here.

Since the phosphate is basically fueling the growth of algae, a phosphate remover needs to be used in order to cut off the food supply and stop algae from growing.When a pool is “shocked” essentially what happens is that liquid or tablets of chlorine are added to make the pool water “super-chlorinated”. Bad filtration is normally a common cause for pools not clearing up. If the pool water is still cloudy after 24 hours consider adding a pool clarifier and using your pool filter to remove remaining settlements.If the pool water is still cloudy after waiting 24 hours and adding a clarifier it is best to evaluate the pool filter and make sure it does not need to replaced or that the filtration system needs maintenance.When pool chemicals are not properly maintained it is easy for pH levels to get out of whack quickly leading to a green pool. The water would need to be continuously stirred up to be able to filter it through the surface skimmer. I take water samples to a local supply store to be tested.

This article is accurate and true to the best of the author’s knowledge. Do the test strips even work?? As far as rust being in the water, you need a metal sequestering agent which will remove the metal from the water.

Pool experts recommend a Proper alkalinity – Alkalinity is different than your pH level and measures the water’s ability to resist change in pH levels making it easier for pH and chlorine ranges easier to stabilize.Chlorine levels – If chlorine levels are left unchecked algae can overtake the pool water making it cloudy.Calcium Hardness – A high calcium level will make it harder to dissolve the calcium in the water entirely and may possibly clog your pool filter.Shock can be a great resource to clean up a pool with dirty water, but it is recommended to wait 18 hours before evaluating the clarity of the pool.

Sand was replaced in June.Pool is green--is the same color it was 48 hours ago when we shocked it, using liquid shock. You will need a chelating agent to clear up your water. Rob is a pool-service industry professional with over 20 years of experience.Judging from the questions pool owners ask on the internet, they are having a hard time with water clarity even when they think all the chemicals are balanced. There is really no way of me knowing why it's not holding chlorine without being able to do a full range chemical analysis. The temp is around 78, ALK varies from 60 to 80, and the PH Level is 7.4 to 7.6. chlorine has varied a lot in the last week.Hi Elizabeth. I have heard that backwashing a sand filter for 5 minutes is good.

This is Alex. Also plan on buying a new cartridge because by the time the water starts to clear, that cartridge is going to be completely shot.How does too much calcium (hardness) affect pool water?High calcium levels can cause scaling while low levels will eat at the plaster.My husband says the water turns green as soon as we take the cover off, is this true?No. Nothing is working. Remember to test the water before adding shock.

I am very frustrated.

I would encourage you to lay off anything else. Water needs calcium. Any ideas? The water should then be a blue or cloudy blue color.Test the water 24 hours after shocking and start adjusting pH and alkalinity levels. If the pool turned green immediately after shocking the pool, then there is an imbalance with other chemicals or something else has been added to the water that should not have. My pool was green even at ridiculously high chlorine values. Last year, she filled it up 3 times, and each time filling it up is an extra $100 on the water bill. Should be good to go after that. If the calcium chloride level falls below 200 ppm and is not added, the water will still get the calcium that it needs by pulling it from the surface, pool liner, plumbing anywhere that calcium can be extracted from.
