Green Pools?

Okay.
My pool is green.
It was crystal clear then over two days it just went green.
The pool guys came and said all the chemicals were correct.
Then we thought it wa the sand filter.
So we bought a brand new sand filter.
And guess what…The darn pool is still GREEN..

Any suggestions??
Or Anyone know what might be wrong?

Actually Grandma of 2 got it only partially right. You don’t need to add any algaecide to the pool and don’t add ANY chemicals until you get a proper analysis of the water performed.

Did the pool guys come out and give you a reading on the pool or just tell you they were “good”?

If possible take a sample of water down to your local pool store and have them test it. Make sure they test for the following:
Total chlorine
Free chlorine
Combined chlorine
pH
Alkalinity
Hardness
Cyanuric acid
Total dissolved solids
Metals
Phosphates

Bring the results back here and post them, or feel free to drop me a line at robandliz1992@yahoo.com for more in depth help.

Green doesn’t always mean algae, it probably is in this case, but it isn’t a guarantee until we can get the readings on the pool. Adding algaecide, shocks, or any other chemicals to your pool at this stage is dangerous unless we know exactly what’s causing the problem. Since we can’t see the pool we need to have the readings to determine what’s wrong. It really most likely is algae, but if it’s copper (which will green the water) then doing any of the suggestions on the answers above will not solve the problem and will make things much worse!
