The garden pool, which was still attracted to refreshment last week, suddenly turned into a green area often even unpleasant odor? It is one of the most common problems that their owners solve. But there is a relatively simple way to avoid it.
Before you start to search for vials full of chemistry at that moment, try to look at another, for nature and much more considerate, the method of fighting the pool greenery.

No miracle – they are algae …
Why did such a change actually occur? No, it is definitely not a mysterious chemical reaction, it is not even an envious neighbor who decides to smuggle the pool. In fact, the microscopic organism is responsible for everything that becomes visible only in a really large community. It’s a time that loves warmth and light that allows it to be unprecedentedly rapidly growing. As soon as we give her only a few days, she takes the pool for his and we have nothing but reconciliation or fight.

The blame will be filtered
So let’s fight. First, it will be necessary to reveal the cause that gave green green. Most often we will be successful in checking the filtration, which is most likely to prove to be insufficient. Inappropriate pH of water may also be to blame. In case of poor filtration, small particles of dirt can remain in the water, which then become a breeding ground for algae. Once they have to make a living, the wheels will run to the maximum, which we will soon find with the naked eye.
It won’t go without work
Although it will not probably be the most popular advice, the first step towards recurring the pool under its own control will be mechanical cleaning. But we have nothing else. So: brush in the hand, in the second, the net for dirt – as it tastes into the work. Thoroughly clean both the walls and the bottom of the pool, and when all this is done, you can take the next step and that is the water treatment.
Adjust the pH of water
To make a natural way to balance too much water, you can use safe baking soda for this purpose. Even a small amount of this powder stabilizes pH, creating conditions unsuitable for further algae growth. They love a little more sour water. In addition, Soda will support the functioning of other “healing” processes in the pool that will lead to its cleaning.
Let’s prevent the next attack
For this time we have won over the algae, but their attack may soon repeat. This can be prevented if you start responsible pool care and will not neglect it in the future. Focus on sufficient water circulation, more frequent control of the correct operation of the filter system, a suitable filter and replacement of the filling of this device. If we talk about pH of water, we should keep it in slightly alkaline values between pH 7.2 – 7.6. This is the only way to function well disinfectants, without which we cannot do without water in the pool.
Take care of the pool even better
So now we know what to do when the pool green. Even if it wants a little work, it’s not a reason for great despair. And if you change your approach to the pool in favor of greater care, you will most likely not have to face such problems with such problems.
