Surely one of the clearest and most obvious signs of a problem with your pool is green water. But what should you do in this situation? Continuing with the Reindesa Solutions series, today we’ll explain what to do if you ever notice green water with green, brown, or black stains.
The main cause of the problem is usually the presence of algae, hence the greenish color. However, although it may seem like a major setback due to its complexity, getting rid of green water in your pool isn’t as difficult as you might think.
We will need to check 3 levels and act accordingly:
-
The level of stabilizer (Isocyanuric Acid) in the water (stabilizer test strips). If the value is higher than 75 mg/l, we must drain part of the pool water.
-
The pH level of the water. It should be controlled between 7.4 and 7.6. If it is not, we will use one of these two products: Acidpool Reindesa pH Reducer or Sodic Pool Reindesa pH Increaser .
-
The chlorine level:
-
If it’s correct, we’ll run the filtration 24h for two days, frequently cleaning the walls.
-
If it is low on chlorine: we will carry out a shock treatment with Reindesa Granulated Choc Chlorine .
-
And that’s it. Yes, your pool will regain its usual appearance: no more green water.
