    Test your copper level and get a bottle of No Mo
    No Mo is made if unicorn pee and fairy dust… it’s pure magic. Leslie’s will probably tell you it’s a copper problem. I doubt it.

    Our home pool looked like that even tho chemicals were in and pump going. Turns out the filter pump was soooooo clogged it wasn’t filtering so the chemicals weren’t doing any good

     Yes so true watch the pressure on the gauge backwash your sand filters regularly until they flow clear.

    Super shock it, followed by scrubbing the sides then vacuum, followed by algaecide. Tomorrow it will be way better. From there check chemicals and adjust accordingly. Remember to vacuum on waste.

    Exactly what I was going to say! Gotta scrub the heck out of it & vacuum. Keep it closed cause it’ll be too acidic for people & you know there’s alway that ONE….

    With only knowing what you presented, I would add Copper Sulphate. I have an above ground pool where the filter is never really enough to stop algae growing. Adding the copper sulfate will fix it but your pool is commercial use so get an expert in. (Fire your current company for letting it get this way…just my thoughts)

    If the chemicals have just been added you need to run the pump for a long time and clean the filter everyday

    How is your circulation? When is the last time you backwashed? How often are you cleaning the pool?
    Most green pools are due to bad circulation.

    Omg our Spa just went through something like this
    Maintenance had changed the heater valves so how much is sediment stuff came through and discolored the spa and algae grew overnight it might have to be cycled out but then the pool guy shocked it was some type of chemical as well

    The chemicals are not balanced the chlorine‘s getting eaten up just take a sample to the pool store and they’ll tell you exactly what to put in it.
    It doesn’t matter how much more chlorine you put in it it’s not gonna fix it

    They will need to know how many gallons of water is in the pool or you can tell them the dimensions and how deep it is

    Get your Chem correct
    Alkalinity 80-120
    PH 7.4
    Chlorine 2-3
    Cyanaric 50-70
    Shock it, and continue to filter, clean filters or backwash. Brush Walls.
    It doesn’t look very big so you should be able to clear this up in a day or so.
    Then look at some algae control.

    Shock and 24/7 pool pumps for 5 days. Check your filter, sand or earth may need backwash

    Check cyuranic (sp) acid levels, if they are too high they will lock up the chlorine.

    Algae. Shock the hell out of it and scrub the whole thing and back wash it but be warned you can only shock it once like this then the algae gets immune to it then you have to drain and scrub and refill

    Proper maintenance goes a long way. Pools don't just go green on their own. Evaluate the staff and have the tech get CPO certified.

    1:backwash filter and make sure you have enough flow to filter all the water in the pool 3 times in 24 hours.
    2: shock to a chlorine to between 10 and 30 PPM
    3: brush every inch of the pool to make it easier for the shock to clean.
    4: let the shock work over night.
    5: test water and balance chemicals.
    •chlorine 2-3
    •ph 7.4
    •alkalinity 80-120
    •calcium hardness 180-220
    •cyanuric acid 30-50
    I recommend a Taylor test kit, it comes with all the instructions to test chemicals, makes it very simple.
    6: test again.
    7: maintain chemical levels

    Yes. You could shock, flock clean, backwash etc. you also need to know your type of pool. Chlorine, salt etc. However, if it is a commercial operated pool, you cannot touch it. You need to contract it out or have a certified operator on site.
