Introduction

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of clearing green pool water caused by algae. If your pool has turned green, don't worry! This step-by-step guide will help you restore your pool's clarity quickly and effectively using products from BAYROL.

Step 1: Clean the Pool

• Remove any debris from the pool surface using a net.
• Brush the pool walls and floor to dislodge algae from surfaces.
• Ensure that all areas, especially corners, are thoroughly scrubbed.

Step 2: Clean the Skimmer and Prefilter

• Turn off the pool pump.
• Remove and clean the skimmer basket and prefilter.
• Rinse them with water to remove any debris and algae buildup.

Step 3: Backwash the Filter

• Switch the filter to the backwash setting.
• Run the filter for 2-3 minutes to clear out dirt and algae.
• Return the filter to the normal setting after backwashing.

Step 4: Check Water Parameters

Use a testing kit to check the following levels

• pH
• Chlorine
• Alkalinity
• Ensure all levels are balanced before proceeding.

Step 5: Adjust pH

• If the pH is below 7.2 or above 7.6, adjust it using pH increaser or decreaser.
• Aim for a target pH of around 7.4 to 7.6 for optimal chlorine effectiveness.

Step 6: Perform a Shock Chlorination

• Add a chlorine shock treatment to the pool.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct dosage.
• This will help kill the algae and bacteria in the water.

Step 7: Add a Flocculant

• After shock chlorination, add a flocculant to the pool.
• This will help clump together smaller particles, making them easier to filter out.

Step 8: Assess Results After 24 Hours

• Wait for 24 hours after adding the shock and flocculant.
• Check the water clarity; it should start to improve.
• If necessary, repeat shock treatment if the water is still not clear.

Step 9: Backwash the Sand Filter Again

• After the 24-hour waiting period, backwash the sand filter again to remove trapped debris.
• Follow the same procedure as earlier.

Step 10: Remove Remaining Impurities

• Use a vacuum to remove any remaining debris or algae from the pool.
• Ensure that you are vacuuming to waste if needed, to avoid returning debris to the pool.

Step 11: Assess Results After 72 Hours

• Wait another 72 hours to evaluate the overall clarity of the water.
• Check for any lingering algae; if found, consider additional treatments.

Step 12: Add an Algaecide

• If algae persist, add an appropriate algaecide to prevent future growth.
• Follow the label instructions for dosage and application.

Step 13: Regular Maintenance Tips

• Regularly test your water parameters.
• Clean your pool regularly to prevent algae buildup.
• Maintain proper chlorine levels and pH balance.

By following these steps, you can effectively clear green pool water and prevent future algae growth. Regular maintenance is key to keeping your pool clean and inviting. For further assistance, consider downloading the BAYROL My Pool Expert app for personalized pool care tips.
