Question i have a 1,800 gal pool, just got it up and running and my water is green. tested chemicals, ok- no change in water color-took a sample to local pool company. they tested too much iron. what can i use to clear this up?
Answer Large amounts of metals[iron,copper]can cause water to turn a green/blue color.They make a metal remover.Be sure to follow directions,chlorine must be near 0.Unless your actually putting a metal[I once had copper in a pool that kept comming back,found out the underlayment of the roof was copper] it can be a characteristic of the water.Lynn
