    Default Copper in the Pool

    Our local Leslie's said we have too much copper in the pool. Has anyone had this problem before?

    Everybody that has had green staining on the liner, or swimmers complaining of green hair and nails, has too much copper in the pool. Copper is what turns things green, not chlorine....

    Do you use PristineBlue or another non chlorine alternative? Do you use the HTH Shock or another product that may contain copper? A lot of the products that are now readily available for pool treatment contain copper in their ingredients. You can look at the product you have to check for that.
