    Default Re: Pool yellow why?

    If it is a freshly filled pool with chlorine added the first day and then shocked, I doubt it is algae. The fact that the water is a yellowish color makes me wonder about a metals issue. Did you fill from a well? What kind of shock did you use? Please list the ingredients.

    Do you have a drops-based kit that you can give us some current readings?
