Green Pool Cleaning

What's a Green Pool and what Causes It?

A “green pool” refers to a pool or spa where the water has become discoloured and appears green due to the presence of pool algae or other contaminants.

Pool algae growth

The most common cause of a green pool is algae growth. Algae thrives in water with an imbalance in chemicals, particularly low chlorine levels.

Insufficient pool chlorine

If chlorine hasn't been regularly added to the pool, or if the pool has experienced heavy usage, there may be insufficient chlorine to effectively prevent pool algae.

Pool pH imbalance

Improper pH balance can hinder the effectiveness of chlorine in treating a green pool. When your pool pH level is not properly balanced, the chlorine may not be able to do its job effectively.

Environmental contaminants

Rust, leaves, pollen, or other environmental contaminants can sometimes cause green pool water, though it's less common than algae growth.

To effectively treat a green pool, a combination of chemicals is essential. Chlorine acts as a sanitiser, pH adjusters regulate pool pH, algaecides prevent pool algae growth, and clarifiers improve water clarity. Shock treatment eliminates contaminants, while stabilisers protect chlorine levels. Check our shop for a variety of chemical options and reach out to your local Glenhaven store for expert assistance in fixing your green pool.

Yes, it is possible to over-shock a green pool. While shock treatment is an effective way to combat pool algae and sanitise the pool, using excessive amounts of shock can lead to other issues. Over-shocking can lead to high chlorine levels, which may irritate skin and eyes, damage pool surfaces, or bleach pool liners. To treat green pool water safely, it’s essential to follow the recommended dosage or consult with a pool service technician for expert guidance. They can ensure proper green pool treatment while balancing your pool pH and eliminating pool algae effectively.
