A photo of the pool water might have been helpful for proper TOTV diagnoses. [emoji328]

Nonsense. If the water is turning green and cloudy when it's especially hot and after a rain, then it's most likely just algae. Algae can be very EASILY and inexpensively cleaned up, without having to drain the pool, and it has NOTHING to do with good or bad pool service.

It's a pretty common problem for the precise reason that it is difficult to prevent 100%. Even if you do all the right things, a 5 degree bump in the temperature, a 20% bump in humidity, and a good couple inches of downpour can set the whole thing green the next morning. Your advice is spot-on but it still isn't foolproof. |

I have found..............if you drop 275 tablets into a pool, the green color will be gone in 24 hours.
Now, unfortunately......the water is blue and looks like a toilet, at our ages......that ain't all bad. |

Um. Excuse me T&D. You know that we are having lots of rain. Why aren't you adjusting the chemicals accordingly?

Update from the OP. Thanks for all the replies. A T&D supervisor came both yesterday and today and will be coming again tomorrow. Problem is almost fixed, will be swimming tomorrow. Chlorine was too low because algae was eating it up. High phosphates were causing algae growth. Pool has been treated to lower phosphates, shocked, algae swept out and filter running non stop. Filter cleaned both days and getting new filter tomorrow. We don't live on a golf course but do abut a preserve that is seriously overgrown and pools near preserves tend to get exposed to more airborne phosphates. Supervisor has been great and admitted that our pool tech dropped the ball and should have been more on top of the situation. The supervisor is going to personally check on our pool monthly going forward.

The heat the past week and the amount of rain cause algae in my pool. T&D came today and everything was cleared. The techs come once a week. With high temps and heavy rain algae can form in a couple of days. We have not had algae since August 2018.

Something about an imbalance in the chemicals that can't be fixed by adding more chems. Filter change/cleaning is also a key once the pool is treated for algae. And T&D offered to reimburse me for the water...I was just happy to get it "cleared" up.
