Lime Green Pool Water

[PoolDoc]

I think we can help you, but as Watermom said, it would be easiest if you could start over. If you can, let us know BEFORE you do, so we can make sure you have everything you need BEFORE you start.

We'll need to know the gallons in your pool, what kind it is, what sort of pump and filter you have, and you'll need to get some specific chemicals BEFORE you start. You may be able to get them from your pool stores, but as Watermom said, do NOT let them tell you what to buy again.

You can look at this thread to see the approximate list I'd give you:

but quantities will be based on the gallons in your pool, and some changes may be needed depending on what sort of filter you have.

Just another thought - before I learned what I now know about stains, I also had lime green water. It turned out that my white fiberglass pool was stained yellow all over. Blue plus yellow equals green! When I got rid of the stains the water turned blue. You can see if the pool is stained by lowering the level of the water and see if there is yellow on the part you can see.

Good point, Marie!

Pool surface colors can affect apparent water color a LOT.
