if you pool is under a tree, then that is the reason. Most likely, you had a high level of sanitizer (chlorine) in the pool and it corroded the minerals (perhaps copper) in the incoming water. The above answers are way off - there is no accuracy in either. Your pool may have been on the brink of turning green anyway. The fresh water only excellerated the situation. Your chemical balances were off - both the chlor and pH. Als, in the above answer 2 they refer to copper stains. And that can only come from a low pH or low Total Alkalinity or both. The stains will appear on the wall and floor surfaces not in the sus[ension in the water. The statement in 2nd answer that the minerals were corroded is false - you can't corrode minerals but you can corrode the copper inside the heater by or with a low pH. A solution would be to extend the run time on the filter/pump thru the summer until the weather starts to cool. 6 to 12 hrs is a normal run time for a small pool. So, to finish the rest of the question - extend the filter time to clear the pool, add a boost in chlor by using liquid at 12.5% strength, brush any algae that is clinging to the walls & floor.

∙ 14y agoThe water isn't green. Sediment sticks to the pool's floor. The water looks green
Scoop some of the water in a bowl and you'll see that the water is clean. Get a pool vacuum to get the sediment off the floor. The water will look clear.

Why does the ground have to be level for above ground pools?
So that the water doesn't drain out of the pool and so the pool doesn't fall over. I agree with the answer above but I have a more detailed answer. In a round above ground pool the water puts even pressure on the pool walls, and if the ground is not level one side will get more pressure. The imbalance will cause the pool to collapse under the strain.
