The pool professionals at abc home commercial services can make your life easier by providing regular maintenance as well as troubleshooting any problems that may crop up on occasion such as water turning green overnight. This copper can occur naturally in the water or come from copper plumbing that is leeching into the pool. If the pool has been brushed and shocked it will take a few days to filter out the green and for water clarity to improve. You get chlorine in there and the copper oxidises turning green.
When chlorine levels drop below 1 ppm it can cause algae to grow in the pool turning the pool water green. Shocking a pool should help clear up a green pool if the water is green because of algae or other issues. If the pool turned green immediately after shocking the pool then there is an imbalance with other chemicals or something else has been added to the water that should not have. Use a chemical test kit to test the chlorine and ph levels and determine the extent of the problem.
