Pool water is green in Asheville
Green water can point to a water-quality or circulation problem, but its appearance alone doesn’t confirm the cause. Here’s what to observe safely and when to contact a pool cleaning professional.
What may be causing the green water
Algae growth is a common possibility and can be associated with low sanitizer, poor circulation or filtration, or water balance issues. Other causes are possible. From beside the pool, note whether the water is green, cloudy, or both, and whether circulation appears to be running through normal controls. Don’t open pool equipment or add chemicals based on appearance alone.
When to contact a pool professional
Contact a pool cleaning professional if the green water persists or returns, you can’t tell whether circulation is working, or you’re unsure how to assess the water. If the water is too cloudy to see the pool bottom, keep swimmers out until it clears.
What to ask before booking
Ask for an assessment rather than assuming the water’s appearance identifies the cause.
- Do you assess water chemistry and circulation when a pool turns green?
- Does your service include treatment for algae or other causes of green water?
- What work is included in the visit, and will you explain any additional work before doing it?
- Do you serve my address in Asheville?
