After being away for a month we came back to a pool that looks like green slime, after two weeks of treating the pool it is still a thick green colour. I have maintained the chlorine and PH level, hoovered once and shocked once. Even after the shock the pool maintained the green colour. We are in a very hot country which aids the algae growth. Our next plan of action is cleaning filter and backwashing, shocking again and leaving filter running and then possibly adding algaecide. Any advise that you can give us would be very appreciated.

It will depend on what your chlorine level is in your swimming pool. Its always best to check all the chemicals before anyone goes swimming. The Chlorine level should be between 1.5 PPM & 2.5 PPM (parts per million) You can use Aqua Check Strips to test or a basic Pool Chemistry Test Kit. If you have any more questions, Please feel free to ask. Joseph Hi Elaine.

I used to know a lady that would shock her pool right before it rained. Here pool was always blue and clear ;-) oH also – You will want to always test your pool water after a big rain storm because the water from the rain can change the Chlorine Levels.
