My pool is back at it again..

It is working!! I can see outline around the sides! Yeah! BUT it has turned a little green again. I will keep shocking until clear view of bottom and then lower my chlorine down some and maybe add more iron out. Sounds right or should I add the iron out now? Or is the green hue a normal part of clearing up while shocking?

Wow you guys are amazing! I had my doubts about shocking-now I totally see it works!

I just vacuumed and scraped walls and now it is all cloudy again! I am guessing I have to keep doing that too until clear!! Still greenish though.

in a word, yes...until you kill all the algae you need to keep it at shock level. If you do the pool will clear and your clorine demand will end.

[no1ford]

Yes-for the green too?

[waterbear]

in a word, yes.

[no1ford]

In my words---thank you!!

If you find that after your chlorine is holding and the pool still has a green tint to it get it tested for metals. If they are present then add sequesterant.
