Why is my pool turning green and why do I have to drain it?
In most cases where pools are turning green:
- You have water older than 5 years.
- The pool water has an extremely high TDS (which means there are so many dissolved solids in the water).
- The nitrate levels in your pool are extremely high. Nitrates are caused by rotting leaves in your pool and come from rainwater. Have you ever noticed after a hard rain your pool starts greening up again? That is because of the nitrates in the rainwater. The only way you can get rid of nitrates is to drain the pool.
- Your CYA or cyanuric acid level is over 150. CYA is the chemical in your pool to hold free chlorine so the sun and heat don’t burn it off. Once your CYA reaches 150 ppm or over, it starts to lock up your free chlorine and doesn’t allow it to do its job.
- You’re not running your pump long enough. Your pool pump should run long enough in the summer months to circulate your pool water completely once. If you only let your pump run a few hours in the summer, you are not circulating all your water.
Black Algae Pool Treatment
Take Care of It Now Before It Gets Way Worse
Pools with black algae need to have the surface power washed to remove all the black algae before doing a chlorine wash. Black algae have roots that grow into the cream coat of Pebble Tec and plaster and can’t be entirely removed. Once a black algae treatment has been done, it is important to change or clean your cartridge filters, sand, or DE grids. Additionally, proper pool chemistry needs to be diligently maintained. Black algae can come back, as you can never completely get rid of it since it grows roots into the surface of your pool.
