Pool Questions - Green Water and Algae
Probably not. Algae are like any other plant that requires a certain amount of light for growth. A better remedy is to shock (superchlorinate) or add some combination of algaecide and shock to ensure that the algae are taken care of.

just opened my pool. Water is swampy green. removed as many leaves from the bottom as possible. Chlorine test was clear, no yellow at all. PH was about 8.5 and Total Alkalinity was 50. I added 4 lbs of alkalinity increaser and the level went up to 80. PH went higher also. What should I do?

we did not close our pool last year and it is full of green water with leaves in the bottom.. Tadpoles and bugs live there too. How do I clean it the quickest and most economical way

Last year towards end of August our above ground pool 48"x18' round pool developed these black spots all on the bottom,sidewalls and ladder.I do not have any idea where these black spots came from,but we could not get them out and ended up throwing the pool away.What could have cause these black spots and why towards end of season when we had no problems all summer?
