How to Clean and Fix a Green Pool?

The pool is a leisure haven. It's a place to relax and have fun with friends, but only if you maintain it meticulously. If you have a green pool it tends to deteriorate over time when left unattended. Chlorine can fade the beautiful hue of your pool, which could lead to health problems if not appropriately addressed. Suppose you want to keep your pool as green as its surface while preventing algae from growing on the bottom of the pool. In that case, you need a cleaner solution that works fast and efficiently without worrying about chemicals harming the environment or making you sick. Read on as we put forth the step-by-step guide to cleaning & fixing a green pool.

 

Cleaning a Green Pool- An Handy Guide

The most common pool problem is algae. Algae is a plant produced via photosynthesis, and it grows on hard surfaces such as cement and metal. Algae can also thrive in your pool if left uncleaned or inadequately maintained. This article will walk you through five steps to clean and fix a green pool from start to finish!

 

Step 1: Clean Your Pool

The first step of cleaning your pool is to vacuum out all debris left behind by leaves, dirt, and other such menaces. Make sure to check for any leaks at this time too! If you have chlorine tablets in your pool, pour them into a bucket with some hot water and let them soak until they dissolve completely. You can then use this solution to clean up any algae floating in your water.

 

Step 2: Use an Algaecide

If you find that there are still small patches of algae floating around in your pool after vacuuming out all the debris, try using an algaecide such as Chlorine Tablets or Chlorine Shock (depending on what kind of algae growth you have). These products usually come in a granular form that can be sprinkled over the entire surface area of your pool. However, if your water contains a lot of iron and other minerals, it’s necessary to use something other than chlorine tablets or shock to kill off the algae. In this case, you'll need to use some type of chlorine remover instead.

 

  

Step 3: Use a Dechlorinator 

If you have a chlorine-free pool or spa, you will need to use a de-chlorinator such as Pool Shock or Pool Magic to keep your water from returning to its natural state too quickly. If you do not have chlorine shock or magic, try using one tablespoon of household bleach per 50 gallons of water and let it sit overnight before returning it to your pool/spa.

  

Step 4: Clean Your Skimmer & Pump Housing

Chlorine is toxic and can cause health problems if ingested by humans or animals who swim in the water. Chlorine is also a strong oxidizer, which will break down the rubber and other materials in your skimmer, pump housing, and a steel cover.

 

5. Durable Maintenance:

It is vital to maintain your house properly so that it lasts long enough for you to enjoy its beauty and comfort. Minor repairs, such as replacing broken tiles or fixing any cracks in the walls or floors of your home, should be taken care of immediately so that they do not worsen over time.

To remove the chlorine, you will need to use some bleach solution or another type of cleaning agent designed to eliminate chlorine without causing damage to the rubber parts of your equipment. You should also ensure that any cleaning solution you use doesn't leave an oily residue on your equipment after it dries because this can cause problems with algae growth.

Once you have cleaned your skimmer and pump housing, rinse them off thoroughly with fresh water before replacing them on their respective holders or racks.

 

 

Step 5: Clean Your Hoses

If you have a hose that is not working properly and need to replace, you will need to clean and lubricate the fittings on your new one. To do this, you can use a special cleaner designed especially for hoses. Make sure you read the directions carefully before using this product because some cleaners are more powerful than others and may damage your pool equipment.

 

Step 6: Check Your Filter

If your filter has been working at its peak, but suddenly started acting up, then it may be time to replace it. You can do this by pouring some vinegar into the filter box and leaving it there for about 15 minutes before draining out all the water from the box. Then, empty any remaining debris inside the box with a garden hose or broom handle. Next, remove any debris inside your pool pump housing with a vacuum or shop vac until no more dust appears when you blow on it through an empty bottle. Finally, add fresh oil to your pool pump housing until it is dripping wet, turn on your heater and test out how well your pump works by running some water through your filter. You should be good to go if you do not see any debris in the filter box or the pump housing.
