Throughout the year, my pool is crystal clear, I constantly get comments that it is the cleanest pool they have ever seen.
Every year when I open it, it is Crayola Asparagus green.
I make sure there is absolutely nothing in the pool when I close it. I close it when the water is below 60 degrees, I use algacide. I raise the chlorine levels and let them drop before closing. I open the pool before it is 60 degrees. Every year without fail I have the most disgusting looking pool when I pool the cover off.
That being said, it takes me less than a week to get it crystal clear again as it is just algae in the pool but I have yet to figure out how to prevent this.
I opened the pool this year on May 4th, earlier than I normally do, the water is was 45 degrees when I took the cover off, and the water was so green I swore the swamp creature lived there. Within a day I got it from forest green to turquoise and it is still getting better each day.
I'd really love to know how to really prevent this, I have asked a few times and have never found a solution outside of close and close below 60 degrees and algacide.
