How do I clear up green pool water?
Shock the pool. This means (super) chlorinating the water to kill off any bacteria and algae. Start off by adding 3 or 4 gallons, and if you see no results overnight, add 3 or 4 more gallons the next day. Continue this process until you notice the water changing color to cloudy white, light green or clear.
