Convert a Green Swimming Pool into Blue, Make it Easy

Making your pool blue can be easy and inexpensive with a few items from around the house. Having green water is not only unpleasant to look at, but it also means that there are unwanted microbes in the water, which could cause skin irritation or breathing difficulties for swimmers if left untreated. Many causes of swimming pools turning green, such as algae buildup, dirt, or bacteria. It's important to clean out any contaminants before throwing off chemical balance even more! In this blog post, we will discuss how you can easily make sure your pool stays clean using just some common household materials, so read on!

Pool skimmer nets are a great addition to your vacuum hose. They allow you to quickly clean up any debris on the pool's surface and prevent it from getting tangled in your filter system, saving time! You can pick one up at most home improvement stores or use an old stocking as long as they're clean and large enough for messy pools without clogging the net of smaller filters.

Then, make sure that your pool has just the right amount of chlorine in it to keep it clean and blue. Be careful not to add too much!

Next, take a bucket full of water from the deepest part of your pool (preferably filled with an old cup or something) and pour it into your skimmer opening on one side so that the net catches leaves and other large debris inside while allowing smaller particles through. Then go ahead and start vacuuming, as usual, using long, gentle strokes along all sides of the pool until you have picked up most small bits around its edge.

Add about one-quarter cup baking soda and half-gallon white vinegar to a bucket with water (one gallon). Make sure that you mix this well before pouring it into the pool! This will create quite a reaction, so do not add this mixture near children or pets who can get close to the pool. Wait 15 minutes for everything to settle down before using the vacuum cleaner on any remaining debris. Rinse out your filter system with fresh, clean tap water. For stubborn stains, scrub them off using a long-handled brush and dish soap. You can also use pool chemicals like chlorine to help remove the stains if you do not have any baking soda or vinegar on hand!

To maintain your clean blue swimming pool water for multiple days, it is recommended that you add either hydrogen peroxide (food grade) or muriatic acid (not food grade). Hydrogen peroxide will provide oxygen to the system while the muriatic acid kills bacteria in your filter system. Ensure that everything has been rinsed out well before applying any of these products because they are toxic when ingested. If nothing else works, contact a professional who specializes in cleaning green pools since there may involve something more serious.

In this blog post, we've covered the three steps how to clean a green swimming pool into blue water and make it easy. First, you need a liquid chlorine shock treatment. Second, use an activated carbon filter for up to two weeks to remove any contaminants that have seeped out of the bottom of the pool after shocking it. Lastly, keep adding pH-balanced algaecide every week until all signs of algae are gone from your pool walls or floor. If you follow these instructions correctly, there shouldn't be anything else between you and crystal clear water! What is one step that worked well for converting your green swimming pools?
