I have a pool. It turned green after the pool company did not service it for a week.
After I noticed, I went to a pool supply store, took a water test, and bought some chemicals to treat it myself.
Week 1:
Added chlorine as needed (doing test strips or testing with them). With virtually no results for an entire week. They told me the chlorine was being consumed by the algae.
Week 2:
Did the water test at the pool supply store. They recommended yellow treatment, to run the filter 3 days straight, clean the pool filter once a day, brushed the pool, removed the leaves, cleaned the skimmer, and add more chlorine as needed (doing test strips or testing with them). Pool changed only a little, in various shades if green, but always green. They told me the algacide had killed all the chlorine, andd I just needed to be patient.
Week 3:
Went to the store again. They told me it was the phospates feeding the algae. Did a treatment for that with something called No Phos on the skimmer, brushed the pool, removed the leaves, cleaned the skimmer, and add more chlorine as needed (doing test strips or testing with them). After a couple days of that that the pool turned almost blue for one day. But the next day it was greeen again.
Curently (Week 4):
Went to the store again. They told me it was the stabilizer is low so the chlorine "burns off". They gave me a conditioner to add on a cloth, on the skimmer, brushed the pool, removed the leaves, cleaned the skimmer, and add more chlorine as needed (doing test strips or testing with them). After a couple days of that and the pool is still green.
I just don't know what else I can do at this point. Any ideas?
