How should you care for your salt water pool this spring if it turned green over the winter with algae?

To care for your salt water pool this spring if it turned green over the winter with algae, follow these steps:

1. Test the water chemistry. Use a test kit to check the pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels of the water. Adjust the levels to the recommended ranges.

2. Shock the pool. Add a shock treatment to the pool to kill the algae. Follow the directions on the product packaging.

3. Run the filter. Keep the filter running for 24 hours a day until the water is clear.

4. Vacuum the pool. Use a pool vacuum to remove any dead algae from the bottom of the pool.

5. Backwash the filter. After the water is clear, backwash the filter to remove any trapped dirt or debris.

6. Add a chlorine stabilizer. Add a chlorine stabilizer to the pool to help protect the chlorine from breaking down in the sun.

7. Maintain the pool chemistry. Continue to test the water chemistry regularly and adjust the levels as needed.

Here are some additional tips for preventing algae growth in your pool:

- Keep the pool covered when not in use.

- Clean the pool filter regularly.

- Use a pool algaecide as needed.
