What can you do if you add shock to the pool so it is clear enough to vacuum but the vacuum stirs up the algae and it turns green again?

We have had several problems w/our pool water and it seems that whenever we purchase ANY Bioguard products it clears it up right away. Bioguard has a website www.bioguard.com and you can locate a dealer near you. Their products are great for any problem. We are using their 3 step program to maintain our pool and it's simple and great and we have crystal clear water. Good Luck.
AnswerYou have this problem because you are trying to vacuum microscopic particles that are small enough to slip through the pool filter. What you want is a product that clarifies by causing the particles to clump together and sink. These larger clumps won't stir up so badly, and will be caught by the filter as well. Answeranother thing you can do is vacume your pool on the waste setting which will pump all small particles you pick up that are too small for your filter out of your pool forevcr. It takes longer though because you have to make sure you keep your water level up above the skimmer line if it is an in ground pool.Wiki User

∙ 14y agoFirst, take a sample of the water to your local pool dealer. It could be that your algaecide isn't a high enough strength. You may have to add it and run you filter for 12 hrs X 3 days. Change your sand in your sand filter.

∙ 14y agoYou didn't say how much chlorine you used, what kind of chlorine, if you used an algaecide, was the chlorine fresh or stale? Did you use liquid or granular chlorine?
You need to bring your chlorine level up to 10ppm, at minimum, for emerald greenish water and maybe even 25ppm for a solid green "walk across it" look. You must literally "fry" the algae.
How often did your brush, filter, and back-wash? Did it turn a grayish-white after you shocked? Did you scoop out as much debris from the pool as you could? What kind of filters do you have? if you have a DE filter, did you re-coat the grids with DE after each back-wash?
Best thing is to go to the links provided for exact directions.

∙ 11y agoShock the pool with regular shock treatment that can be found in a lot of retail stores such as Walmart. It's safe to use 2 to 4 times more than the package recommends as long as no one goes swimming right then,, Use of algaeside can help out too.. run the filter and pump continuously until pool clears up making sure to check pressures and backwash as needed. brush pool walls and floor a few times a day until it clears up ,, This will help loosen dead algae and help keep it suspended in the water so the filter can remove it. If you find that the filter is getting stopped up too often sometimes vacuuming with the filter valve set to waste can help get rid of a lot of the dead algae quick. lastly ,, sometimes if a pool is really bad it may just be more practical to drain it and start over..

Why would there be brown algae on the bottom of a gunite pool and how do you get rid of it?
Algae spores float around in the air and can hit your pool at any time You can fix it by 1 shocking the pool and scrubbing the walls and floor of the pool if this doesn't clear it up just get an algaecide from your pool shop. When you vacuum the dead algae out of the pool it would be a good idea to vacuum it to waste to reduce the risk of reinfecting the pool.
Ph good in pool but green colour?
Your pool probably has an algae issue. You can clear it up by giving it a good pool shock. Keep the pH between 7.2 - 7.4 and TA 80 - 100. Backwash twice per day until the water is clear. Vacuum and brush to loosen up any residual algae.

Can you clear a pool that has great amount of algae buildup without draining it?
Yes, you can. First, add your algaecide. Second, add a flocculant (or coagulant). Third, shock the pool. Fourth, run the filter constantly. After a day or two, the dead algae will settle out. Vacuum it out to waste. Good luck.

Abobe ground pool water is green?
Green pool water is caused by algae growth. When chlorine levels drop below 1-parts-per-million, algae will begin to grow. To get rid of the algae, turn on the pump so chemicals will circulate through the water. Correct the pH level of the water by adding an acid or a base to bring the pH level to a 7 or 8. Clean any debris out of the pool. With a nylon brush scrub the pool, breaking up the algae. Add shock to the pool, and continue running the pump throughout the cleaning process. The water will be cloudy when the shock is first added, but will soon begin to clear. Once the water is clear, vacuum the algae from the pool.

How do you keep pool clear?
You can buy pool chlorinating chemicals that prevent the growth of algae and bacteria. You also skim floating debris off the top, and vacuum debris off the bottom. (Outdoor pools tend to get lots of debris; indoor pools get much less.)
