Green Water

[Watermom]

Post some current water testing results from a drops based kit and somebody here can help you clear it up.

Any paticular number that are more important than others? Obviously the Chorline level will be very high?

Should I leave my filter on overnight?

[Watermom]

Yes to running the pump 24/7 while you are clearing the pool. We really need a complete set of results - especially chlorine, ph and cya levels.

CL is too high to register
PH is about 7.8 or a touch lower
CYA is 30

Run your chlorine up to 15 ppm, hold it there by testing and adding bleach 2-3 times daily, keep your pump running while doing this, backwashing as necessary. You also need to be brushing daily. Keep this up until the water goes to cloudy blue, then let your Cl level drift back down and keep your filter running to clear out the dead algae.

Thank You. This morning my water is a translucent green and the Cl was pretty high. I dont know how to tell if its 15ppm or not I just know that its high. Probaly right around there.

I will brush and clean my cartridge when I get home today.

You need to get a drop-based test kit and test your water....."probably right around there" won't clear up your pool.
