Trouble: Blue Dye in Pool Water

[yvetteruiz]

Re: Adding Blue Dye to pool water

Party pool, it can stain if you use too much! Also gets filtered out rather quickly.

I used the green PARTY POOL GREEN DYE for my salt water pool. It has completely messed up my pool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still trying to get it back to normal and its been almost 3 weeks already...I now have so much algae growing in it as well....the filter takes an hour to get some of the dye out, have cleaned it 4 times right now, some of the dye is floating around like oil spots in the pool...at this point we may have to drain half of my 20,0000 gallon pool to fix it.....I need help, have added chlorine, salt and muradic acid at different times.....now it looks dark green after cleaning down the walls.....HELP! Any suggestions?
