Pebbletec has greenish tint...how to clean?

[briggss3]

Will a pump driven floor sweeper clean the greenish tint off my pebbletec? New poolowner. I have it drained down due to high CYA and noticed the pebbletec is supposed to be more blue than green.

Was going to by a sweeper from Leslie's.

Also will shock SLAM clear the discoloration if it's sionly a light algae buildup?

Probably iron.

Drop a vitamin C tablet on a spot.

I was thinking algae since it cleaned off with the trash pump suction.

But I will drop a tablet to see what happens.

It might be dust, dirt or algae; it's hard to tell from a picture.

See what the vitamin C tablet does.

Does it brush off easily?

It does not clean very easy. I will try a sweeper plus I am about to slam it this weekend

Vitamin c did not do anything.

Maybe not iron.

Maybe get a stain ID kit.

I have my pool drained down. I just bought a Polaris Maxx suction floor sweeper from Leslie's for around 400 bucks. Do these thinks do a decent job of removing the residue or should I pressure wash it while it's empty?

Turns out it was a mix of green and brown algae, scum, and dirt. I drained completely and pressure washed the entire pool. Good times....
