It happened to us every season up in the north. We usually get a week of wild temp and humidity fluctuations in the summer. Combine with maple trees that branch out high over the pool, and that's a recipe for algae.

Went to the pool store with a sample of the water, bought the recommended treatments with step-by-step instructions, followed them to the letter, and 48 hours later our pool was crystal clear again. The actual process that WE had to do, our part of the work, took less than an hour over that 2 day period. The chemicals, water pump, and filter did the rest.

For us, "heat wave = green pool." It's just a part of life up here and it's a LOT cheaper to clean it ourselves than to pay someone else to do it for us. Plus, using those measuring cups and eye droppers and stuff is kind of fun, like a science experiment.

OP, thanks for the update.

sweet memories of my gorgeous and expensive to maintain pool in Atlanta.. the heat wave .. thank goodness for 90 plus amenity supported pools in The Villages !!

I maintain my pool.....no green water.

:icon_wink: Not even on March 14th.?

Did you mean March 17?

Now who has bee enjoying Happy Hour?:wine::beer3:

:oops::beer3:

Change your pool maintenance company. We have crystal clear water in our pool.

Which company do you use? How much do you pay?

The combination of Hot Sunny Days and a lot of Rain will do that. I manage 40 Rentals in The Villages and 11 have Pools, it happens. Easy fix for them to come out and shock the Pool. You can actually go to Home Depot/Lowes/Ace Hardware and buy Shock and do it. Clears up pretty quick.

If this were true wouldn’t all the Village pools also be green? They are blue and clear!

SUmmer heat and rain play havoc with the chem levels. yOU CAN ALWAYS EMPTY A BOX OF BAKING SODA INO THE POOL. tHAT WILL USUALLY CLEAR TINGS UP VERY QUICKLY.

Green water
 

Get a new pool company. I fired t&d. At best they spend 15 minutes and never use the proper chemistery for the pool.

Use Tri City pools
They compensate for this No problems
