    Default Green again

    I had my pool crystal clear, went away for the long week end and when I came back the water green again. Turns out the power had been off for 3 days so the pump wasn't running. Last night I added 4 bottles of Clorox and this morning it is still the same dark green.

    I have a 15W X 31L inground vinyl pool. Since the pool was already clear just a couple days ago, how long do you think it will take to get it back clear?

    It depends on how consistent you are about keeping your chlorine at shock level. The more consistent you are, the faster it will clear. Run your pump 24/7, brush daily, get your Cl up to shock and keep it there by testing 2-3 times daily and adding whatever it takes to get your Cl back up.
