Why your pool turns green after a storm
Rain, heat and leaves use up chlorine fast. Here is what happens and what to do first.
Heavy rain dilutes the water and washes in dirt and leaves. Warm days then use up what chlorine is left, and algae starts to grow within a day or two.
What to do first
Clear the debris, run the pump all day and test the water. If it is already cloudy or green, shock it and brush the walls. If it is very green, call us before you add more chemicals.
