Want to know how to keep a reflecting pool that size green? A couple bags of water soluable fertilizer (20-20-20) per week. Needs to be urea or ammonium based.
Free ammonia and phosphate in the water promotes the insanelynrapid growth of the algae that cause green water like that.
Also couple hundred people peeing in the pool nightly would also do the trick.
The decomposing shit in the filtration system from being turned off for weeks released free ammonia when they turned it back on. This triggered a massive algae bloom.
It was easily preventable by flushing the system before they turned it back on.
In order to fix it they need to clear out all the detritus in the pool and add a flocculent. It should then clear up in around a week.
In order to keep it green all summer, it needs a little help.
