As you may or may not know, we love taking on the most challenging swimming pools so we can create helpful pool videos and blog posts about common pool problems. Recently, we took on a pool in Longwood, Florida, that has been neglected for four years. It literally turned into a swamp. We’re talking hundreds of tadpoles are using this pool as their home.
Our goal is to show you how you can turn a green pool into crystal clear water in a matter of days. The pool we worked on was an extreme case, but the process is the same for a mild algae bloom to the most neglected pool.

I worked on pools for 5yrs back in the early 90's. Here in Beaumont, Texas (Bevil Oaks community), due to heavy rain a particular dam was opened to avoid catastrophe and delivered 3ft of water to Bevil Oaks. The final product produced a ton of *black* pools that were FULL of debris, snakes (etc), and complete misery! After TONS of chemicals, constant testing, and sore muscles, I was very proud of the outcome of my services!

Finally got it cleared after brushing it twice a day, vacuum and high chlorine till it died. Thanks for the video

20000 gallon vinyl pool, in as bad a condition as the one in the video. I couldnt drain mine since its a salt pool and i didnt want to destroy my grass. I Used the SLAM method per directions. Took me 30 gallons of chlorine and once it was like blue milk, 2 weeks of filtration to get it crystal clear. Though i got rid of the cartridge filter my pool came with and got an 18" Hayward Sand filter w/ 1hp matrix pump, and i purchased the 40,000g version of your Inyo Salt Generator. Its running at 48" power during the few hours its on to keep the pool chlorine level perfect. Thanks Guys!

Hi, thanks for the great video! I have a 10k gallon indoor heated lap pool that is in trouble... It had minimal use, and chlorine was kept low. Pretty easy to maintain until a bunch of teenagers turned the room and the pool into a party place (of course grown ups were out of town!). Long story short: horrible algae bloom, and zero (unmeasurable chlorine). Coming back I started SLAMing: shocked it with initially 6 gallons of 8-9% liquid chlorine, and kept monitoring and repeating for many days -at the end, it had more than 40 gallons of chlorine poured into it!- until it finally passed the OCT. Meanwhile, pH has been dropping fast. By the time I got the chlorine to stabilize, I had an acid bath (pH

I am facing a similar situation in my new pool. I suspect that the filtration system and the pump have been under designed, so the filtration is not effective. Is there a connection between the filter and pump size with the formation and stubbornness of the green algae?

@ezrabrooks7785 5 жыл бұрын

An undersized pump / motor / lmpeller will be inefficient, and take longer to circulate . Talk to a pool store . A 3/4 HP is average size motor assuming the pump and impeller are sized for it . Impeller can be bad , if not flowing good.

Thanks a lot!!! After a couple of days of heavy showers in my city, my water became very cloudy and green and I turned it into crystal clear water less than 3 days after my ex-pool cleaning guy told me after looking at my water for 3 seconds only solution was to replace all the water (of course for a hefty fee), I said the hell w it and lost my fear of opening my filter, Thank god I did that. My 2 cents worth for people trying to clean their pool: 1-Backwash/clean your filter before doing anything and run the pump overnight 2-Add the algae remover you prefer and shock at least twice 12 hours apart, I did it 3 times to make it safer 3-Backwash you filter again and add water clarifier, keep running the pump 24 x 7 all this time until crystal clear 4- Full clean/wash your filter at the end. Check your php and chlorine levels daily during this process and adjust accordingly. 5-Once clear, run pump 8-10 hours a day depending on your environment conditions, you'll be amazed as how easy it is to DIY... Good Luck and thanks for the honest pool cleaners around...

@Inyopools 4 жыл бұрын

The chlorine level may be ideal but you'll need to add more until the water turns from green to cloudy white. Then you'll need to keep the filter running until it clears up. Cleaning the filter a couple time a day will help clear it up faster. We sell a CYA test kit on our site. Here is a link www.inyopools.com/Products/07501352027027.htm

I have a 30,000 gal. pool that was a slightly less extreme version than in the video abandoned by the former owner of the house and I hammered it hard with chlorine, but was left with very cloudy water for a week. From top to bottom the particles of dead algae were very thick. The filter was just not helping clear it up after that time so I used flocculant and let it sit for 2 1/2 days after recirculating for 3 hours. Miracle stuff. The water turned crystal clear and the bottom was covered with the dead algae. Took two days of vacuuming very slow and carefully on waste/refilling with fresh water and now the pool looks amazing.

Been using the SLAM method since 6/30. Results for water: FC: 16 CC: .5 CYA: 40 PH: 7.7 TA: 120 Pool is still cloudy in the deep-end with a tint of green. Been like that since 7/6. Any suggestions on getting it clear? I brush and vacuum a few times a day (vacation) but nothing. The Hayward C3030 was installed on 6/30, starts at 12PSI and haven't got up since. Cleaned it every 2-3 days with very little debris... TFP folks say I don't have to clean the filter since it's not over 25%. Should I just leave it or clean it every 2-3 days? Pool is a 23K IG.

Are you running your pump 24/7 or a set time each day? Even though all the algae was dead, the pool in the video took quite a long time to clear up completely (several weeks). It sounds like you're heading in the right direction by installing the Hayward C3030. I would continue to clean it every three days until the pool is clear. Also, make sure you're not brushing your pool and then immediately vacuuming afterward. When you brush it stirs up all the debris that has settled to the bottom. Always vacuum before brushing. You could always try adding a clarifer (goo.gl/eDcmz4) which will coagulate the small dirt particles and make it easier for your filter to grab them. Just keep at it, It will get there. Let us know what happens :)

Been running 24/7 for since 6/30. Added clarifier this morning but still the same. Getting impatience with this pool. LOL! Also been running a dolphin dx4s and it's not picking up anything in the pool floor beside 1-3 acorns. Cartridge on that is clean also. Moving FC to 21 tonight to see if it'll be any different. Don't know why but during the night, I only lose .5-1 FC... Would expect more if the algae are still hanging around.

Hi! I live in guadalajara mex. I work in this! Maintenance of pools, some times i have to do that process, we must put the multiport valve on recirculate among 2 hours, and apply pH+ and "clarificador" (i dont know how is the right word in english) in base of requeriments. Better to do in evening than morning. :) good vídeo

Haven't had an algae bloom since adding Clearwater Pool Systems RC-50 ionizer. Clearest water and almost no chlorine!

I have a question about CYA...opened my pool...it is green :( followed your directions on your video...CYA was at 30, added appropriate amount of chlorine to raise to shock level. Overnight pool has gone from green to cloudy blue, free chlorine levels are still at correct level for shock but CYA levels have raised substantially...CYA is now reads around 200-300???? Should I attempt to adjust this by removing water and adding fresh water?? Please respond with an answer....thank you for your time!

Unless you added a ton of cyanuric acid (CYA), it should not have risen like that by adding shock. I would take a water sample in to a pool store and get a second reading on the CYA level.

How does the water get green even though is covered

@fancypants576 7 жыл бұрын

bought a home in November with a 32 foot above ground pool that was already pretty green. I know nothing about pools. don't even know if the pool is chlorine or salt. I just want the pool to be swimable & clear of the green stuff. please help

Well, you're in the right spot because this video covers pretty much everything you need to know. You will need to remove large debris, level your water chemistry, shock, and filter until your pool is clear.
