My pool has turned green and I don’t know why. My pool store says my levels are perfect and my test strips agree most of the time. Test results from the fancy machine at the pool store show my CYA is around 100 or so and the pool store guy said that’s good. I keep my FC at the perfect 1 to 3 ppm per the pool store test readout.

The pool store said my algae can be easily fixed with a few pool specialty products that they had on hand. They fixed me right up with some very expensive additives - algaecides, floc, balancers, clarifiers, phosphate remover, enzymes and some other stuff with descriptive names showing how effective they are for my pool problems. I’m not sure what’s in them or what they do but, hey, that’s what the pool store guy is there for right? Lol!

Here’s what I’ve put in the pool so far:

Green Aid

Yellow Out

LoChlor

Free and Klear

Phosfree

Yellow Treat

Bio Active

Clear and Perfect

Ultra Zyme

MiraClear

Last but not least, I poured in a whole bottle of No Mor Problems. The pool store guy said to only use half of the bottle but I really want to make sure I really have NO MORE PROBLEMS! I’ve dropped about $500 at the pool store now.

I would have thought that my pool would be clear and clean by now but unbelievably it’s still cloudy. Luckily I can always go back to the pool store though because the pool store guy said if this treatment didn’t work he has a few more things I can try. I have to go back to get some stain remover now anyway.

Is there anything else I can do? I need to get this cleared up quickly as we are having a big family party the day after tomorrow.

It's quite obvious what's missing in this list: Copper

This pool store clearly doesn't know what they are talking about. I suggest to go to a different store and buy anything in the store that has the term "blue" in it. "Blue" products will contain only the highest grades of copper, and will solve your problem in no-time.
