    Default Trying to clean a green swamp

    Pool was blue cloudy unable to see shallow end or deep end but blue. Meaning I was greenless in the pool. Then I added bleach to pool and now I am green again. Bleach = green pool what gives???

    What is your source of fill water? Sounds like it might be a metals issue.

    What are your chlorine & pH levels?
    What is your CYA level?
    What pump and filter do you have? Is the pump on 24/7?
    What chemicals have you been using regularly?
    If you have a vinyl or FG pool, do the sides feel slimy?
    . . . and . . .
    As Watermom asked, where is your water coming from?
