In this episode of the Talking Pools Podcast, Wayne dives into the details of distinguishing between green water caused by algae and green water resulting from high copper levels. Here's a brief summary:

Episode Highlights:

  • Visual Cues: Wayne explains that algae typically causes water to appear cloudy or murky with a green tint, often accompanied by slimy surfaces in the pool. In contrast, green water due to high copper levels usually looks clear but has a distinct bright green hue.
  • Testing Methods: He emphasizes the importance of using test kits to determine the exact cause of the green water. Algae presence can be confirmed through high levels of free chlorine consumption and visible growth, while high copper levels can be detected using specific copper test kits.
  • Treatment Approaches: Wayne outlines different treatment methods for each issue. For algae, he recommends shock chlorination and algaecides, while for high copper levels, he suggests using a metal sequestrant and adjusting the pool's pH and alkalinity levels.
  • Preventative Measures: To prevent algae, Wayne advises maintaining proper chlorine levels and ensuring good water circulation. For preventing copper issues, he suggests regular testing of fill water and using metal control products.

This episode provides practical advice for pool professionals, helping them accurately diagnose and address the root cause of green pool water.
