Rain Making Your Above Ground Pool Green? How to Fix This

Hello, gentle peeps, so it’s been raining constantly here for about a week and a half, and I’m fixing to have to clean this see. This will happen. It rains every single day and you can’t get out here to clean.

You start getting the algae buildup and getting that yuckiness going on. So what I’ve done is, I’ve started to backwash first to clean my filter, because it has been running – and I cleaned out the little trash out here every day, but I’ve got to do a good and back floor.

Water’s a little high. Then we’ll do some cleanup we got to do some some chlorine and different things to get this thing back to normal. Looking good, it’s fourth of July kinda, nice at the pool this evening.

So we’ll see how it looks. Thanks for watching, when you’re doing the backwash excuse the mess and I think it’s been raining. Make sure that you have this set on backwash, that’s open. This is oh, this is open.

It’s running in here everything’s running through. It’s set on backwash and it’s running out and once that water gets pretty clear, then you can do a switch. So what you do is you stop, and you want to set it over to rinse and what that’s going to do is it’s going to rinse out all the sand? It’s in there. It’s going to rinse all the dirt and stuff and set the sand back and get ready. So let the water come back out of here and it should get a little bit dirty and then get clear again.

So you want to have that set also. Okay, neither one of them take too long, back washing that don’t take too long. But what I do is I go ahead and close it up that way. I can take off this with a back wash with clink coming through for my drain area that comes off here and then put this back on good and snug a hand tie and set this back to filter.

Now I want to run, you should be getting some good pressure. Come back out your outlet pulling back through your bucket here and then I want to add some liquid chlorine. What I use is this chlorinating pool essentials.

Liquid chlorine kills algae bacteria. It’s, good for saltwater metal systems, calcium free. I use about half a gallon when I do the pool and let it sit good all right. So I poured about a half a gallon in there where the outtake comes out and let it go now.

I’m gonna let it circulate the pool. I’m gonna give it a brush here, and I’m gonna give a good scrubbing of my of all my edges and we’ll come back and see how it looks once it’s gone through the cycle a little bit, okay after you get and a little while a couple hours later it’s blue again.

Now I still need to be vacuumed and still have to check all the balances and do a little bit more. But you can tell a huge difference just from that backwash chlorinating and then brushing and doing a quick cleanup of the pool anyway, thanks for watching. Appreciate it,
