Nov/2025 – Green pool? Who you gonna call? Total Pool Solutions!!

A green swimming pool is typically caused by an algae bloom due to low chlorine levels or poor water chemistry. Algae thrive when sanitizer levels are insufficient, often resulting from inadequate filtration, improper pH or alkalinity, or high phosphate levels. 

While algae itself isn’t highly toxic, swimming in green water is not advisable due to potential health risks from pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can survive in low-sanitizer conditions. The green color can also reduce visibility, increasing the risk of drowning, and the water may be slippery. 

Additionally, dissolved metals like copper can tint water green without cloudiness, leading to staining if untreated. Immediate action, such as shocking the pool, brushing surfaces, and balancing chemicals, is necessary to restore safety and clarity.
