How do you get rid of really green water in above ground pool?
Green pool water is caused by algae. To remove the algae, bring the pH level of the water to 7.8, scrub the sides and bottom of the pool, shock the water with chlorine, then vacuum up all the dead algae.
How do you clean green algae of the bottom of a pool?
There are a wide variety of algaecides (algae killers) available. Your local home improvement store, or pool store, has them. Most pools can be treated for about $20. You will want to use an algaecide, and "shock" the pool which briefly brings the chlorine level up to an insane amount, and then use a clarifier which will cause all the dead algae to clump up and sink to the bottom, where it can easily be vacuumed out. All of these chemicals evaporate in a day or two, leaving the pool ready for swimming.

How do you know if your fish tank have the icky?

Do you need to vacuum a pool if you use chlorine or is chlorine and a net for skimming the top enough?
If there is dirt on the bottom of the pool, it is best to vacuum it out. Organic debris (such as leaves) can cause staining. Brushing the sides and bottom is also important. Algae loves to hide in crevices and brushing strips away its protective slime coating so that the chlorine can kill it.

Does keeping a solar cover on the pool cause algae. I am in a shaded area and like to keep the pool cover on to keep in the heat. My pool keeps turning green and I want to know if is is the cover?
Algae is caused by sunlight and bacteria. The solar cover helps keep the chlorine in during the day under direct sun if in place; the green is probably due to bacteria rather than the the cover holding heat; scrub pool bottom and sides, add chlorine shock at 1 lb per 10000 gallons and run filter for 24 hours.
