Default Swim Spa turning green

Our Swim Spa had suddenly developed a severe case of algae. We have it serviced weekly.

What should we / he do to prevent and bet rid of it?

I have lived here for fourteen years and have never seen a public or private swimming place have green algae.



Here is what Home Depot says.

My wife and I had a Spa at our NJ house, I managed it for 8+ years.

The #1 thing that kept the water sparkling was a small bit of shock after every other use.

I don't know why you are posting here. Call the service provider and complain loudly.

Does it have a uv light? If so is it burned out?
