When a pool turns green in Palm Beach County, keep swimmers out, avoid chemical guesswork, record rain and circulation conditions, and request green-pool cleanup when the cause is uncertain.
Do not use water that is green, poorly sanitized, or too cloudy to see the bottom clearly. Poor visibility can conceal a person or hazard. Keep children and pets away from chemical containers and any damaged, exposed, wet, or unusually hot equipment around the pool.
Green water is often associated with algae, but appearance does not establish the full water condition or correct treatment. Never mix pool chemicals. Follow product labels and do not stack treatments based on online shortcuts. Qualified water testing can prevent ineffective or hazardous additions.
Note when the color changed, recent heavy rain, storm debris, whether the pump appears to run, whether return flow is visible, and any product already added. Take a photo for your own record if it is safe. Do not open an electrical panel or pressurized filter to investigate.
Request green-pool cleanup and include the Palm Beach County city or ZIP. Add local context from Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, or Lake Worth Beach. After the water is recovered, compare weekly pool cleaning and ask what conditions should trigger an earlier maintenance check.
