What are my options when my pool turns green? 
When your pool turns green you have two options. You can 1. Treat the Water in your pool or 2. Drain the pool, scrub it and start over. The method you want to use depends on how bad your algae problem is and how quickly you need it handled. Treating the existing water in a swimming pool takes a lot of work and scrubbing. The pool must be visited and worked on at least every other day until it is finished and there is often at least one and usually two hours of work to do each visit. The pool needs to be scrubbed, vacuumed, filter cleaned, water balanced and then shocked and treated with algaecide. There are also a lot of chemicals involved.
