    I really don't have any idea - the only thing I can think of with that reactions would be if you used any products like baquacil, or anything with copper. Did you look at what was on the container of the stabalizer? I can't imagine anything was in that either. I'm sorry, I am at a complete loss, but if you find out the cause please post back and let us know. THe only other thing I just though of is that the chlorine is yellow, and the pool water looks blue - yellow and blue make green - could it be just the appearence of color?

    That definitely sounds like a metal reaction, but have it confirmed by having a pool store test for copper and iron. If so, Mbar can advise on dealing with metals.

    Well I took my water and had it tested for metals but nothing was found. I got a product any way that takes metals out and I havn't had a problem.
