I thought I'd post some photos of my green pool in the hopes that seeing it might shed some light on my situation. The photos dated 5-23-06 is where the water is clear but there is dark green algae, clearly shown on the steps. The other picture shows that a lot was settled onto the bottom of the pool as you can clearly see where I had vaccumed. This was the day I took these photos to the pool store and was told to use copper algaecide to kill the algae or it would just keep coming back. (That was before I found this forum.)

Second set of pictures are taken today. My water has been cloudy and green like this ever since using the copper algaecide 5/23/06 and again 5/26/06 (one quart each time). On the pictures of the steps, you can see that the water is cloudy, but no visible dark algae anymore. However, the green color and cloudiness persist. I can see that there is a green film on the bottom of the pool. If I vacuum, it definitely is less green, but vacuuming stirs it up and turns the water darker, as does brushing it. Then it eventually all settles back on the pool floor again.

Any suggestions?
