We’re back with another blog post to help you solve any problems that might arise in your pool. Today we’ll be discussing greenish water, with green, brown, or black stains .
Don’t panic, the problem is algae. Yes, the presence of algae in the water is what causes our pool water to turn greenish, with green, brown, or even black spots .
To solve the problem, a superficial cleaning won’t be enough; we’ll need to do a deep clean to remove the stains and the greenish tint to the water. How?
-
First, we’ll check the stabilizer level in the water (you can use stabilizer test strips). If the value is higher than 75 mg/l, we’ll drain some of the pool water.
-
Next, we will verify that the pH level of the water is controlled at 7.0 and level it with Reindesa PH + Sodic Pool or Reindesa PH- Acid Pool .
-
And we checked the chlorine level:
-
If it’s correct: we put the filtration on 24 hours for two days, frequently cleaning the walls.
-
If it is low on chlorine: we will perform a shock treatment with Rein Granudalo Chlorine .
-
Once the pool is stabilized, we will use the specific concentrated algaecide for each type of algae , which will be recommended to you at any Reindesa store .
Maintaining water quality is our responsibility as pool owners to ensure it stays in good condition and prevents it from turning green or developing spots . And remember, if you need expert advice, you can find us at your nearest Reindesa store .
