Question for pool owners
Posted on 8/21/21 at 9:46 am

I'm a fairly new pool owner (a couple of months) and have been maintaining everything myself. While the water is always clear and blue, I've been noticing green appearing on the plaster, mainly the stairs and walls (floor is fine, we run an automatic cleaner every 2 days or so). Pool chemicals seem fine, and chlorine is within the preferred range.
My question is, is the green normal? Or is there something else I can do to prevent that? It comes off very easy with some brush scrubbing, but I feel like I'm scrubbing every 2 days or so. So just curious of this is standard or is there something more I need to look for in my chemical tests. TIA

that seems odd if your chlorine is good. I wonder if its copper or some other metal? Maybe add some algaecide and see if it goes away

Need to know chlorine levels in relation to cya. You may have too much cya nullifying your chlorine.

Is it algae? Are your test accurate on the chlorine and such?

Are you getting rain daily???
Rain water cause this to pop up and become pesky… usually where your water is warmer… like steps.

Bring a water sample to a pool supply store. They usually test for free. I get mine tested every 3 weeks or sooner if there’s been a lot of rain.
Find one you can trust because one place screwed my pool up bad.

Get the water tested at the pool store and put what they tell you. Makes it much easier.
