    Default Re: Slight green tint

    After looking again in lower light, the pool looks a little more reddish than geen. I live in NC and deal with red clay. The lot next door is being built on andis bare. It was windy this afternoon also. So I am thinking the red dust from the lot next door blew in my pool and is now suspended in the water. I brushed the bottom and a reddish cloud rose up. Should I still raise my chlorine level to 15ppm?

    I'd vac the bottom and see what happens....I get the same thing from the street behind our property. Couple gallons of bleach wouldn't hurt if you think you have an algae bloom, but definitely keep at shock level if needed.
