Green water means algae, and algae means your chlorine has lost the fight. The good news is most cases reverse in 48 to 72 hours. The bad news is the chemistry is more particular than YouTube tutorials suggest.

Honest steps to try yourself

Shock the pool with chlorine. The dose depends on volume and current chlorine level, follow the product instructions exactly, not "more is better".
Run the filter continuously for 24 to 48 hours. Algae dies, then needs to be filtered out, that's often the slowest step.
Brush the walls and floor. Algae clings to surfaces, brushing puts it into suspension so the filter can grab it.
Check pH, ideally 7.2 to 7.6. Chlorine is dramatically less effective outside this range.
Backwash or clean the filter once the water clears. Otherwise you're recirculating dead algae.

Be honest: by the time the pool is green, the chemistry has been off for at least a week. The shock fixes the symptom. Fixing the cause takes a proper service.

Cloudy water (not green, just hazy) usually means one of three things: pH is off, the filter is overdue, or there’s a load of fine debris too small for the filter to catch. Often it’s all three at once.

Honest steps to try yourself

Test pH and alkalinity. High pH (above 7.8) causes calcium and chlorine to fall out of solution as a haze.
Run the filter for 24 hours straight. Sometimes that's the whole answer.
Add a clarifier. It binds fine particles together so the filter can catch them. €15 at any pool shop.
Check the filter media. Old sand or cartridges work at 30% efficiency without you noticing.
After clearing, brush the walls. Cloudiness is often dust that settled, and brushing prevents it returning.

Honestly? If the water has been cloudy for more than a few days, the chemistry has drifted further than a quick fix will solve.

One visit, full water panel, filter check, and balanced chemistry. You go from “is it safe to swim” to crystal clear without buying €80 of products you don’t need.

Clear it up

Counterintuitive: a strong chlorine smell means there’s not enough usable chlorine, not too much. The smell comes from chloramines, what’s left after chlorine has reacted with sweat, sunscreen, and organics. The fix is more chlorine, not less.

Honest steps to try yourself

Test free chlorine vs total chlorine. If they're far apart, you have chloramine buildup.
Shock the pool. Yes, even though it smells like there's already too much chlorine.
Run the filter for 12 to 24 hours after shocking.
Check pH after, shocking can push it up.
Going forward, shock weekly during heavy use, monthly otherwise.

The expensive lesson: most pool owners reduce chlorine when they smell it, which makes the smell worse and shortens the pool season.

A pump failure in summer is urgent. Without circulation, water quality degrades in 24 to 48 hours, and a green pool follows. Diagnosis is usually one of four things, in order of frequency.

Honest steps to try yourself

Check the breaker. Power surges trip pool pump breakers more often than anything else.
Look at the pump basket. A blocked impeller (leaves, hair, plastic) stops the pump from priming.
Check the water level. Below the skimmer = no water reaches the pump = pump runs dry and stops.
Listen. A grinding or humming pump that doesn't spin is usually a seized bearing or burnt motor.
If none of the above, it's time to call.

The honest version: a dead motor in August costs more than a serviced motor in March. We can audit your equipment in winter and replace what’s on its way out before it fails.

Jacuzzi water has a much harder life than pool water. Smaller volume, hotter, and concentrated with body oils, lotions, and cosmetics. Foam and grime build up in weeks, not months.

Honest steps to try yourself

Drain it. There's no chemistry fix for water that's been used heavily for 8+ weeks.
Clean the shell with a non-foaming jacuzzi cleaner. Soap residue causes more foam.
Replace or rinse the filter cartridge. Soaking it in cartridge cleaner overnight extends life by months.
Refill, balance chemistry, run for 24 hours before use.
Shower before use going forward. Sounds obvious, but it doubles the time between drains.

The unsentimental truth: a jacuzzi needs a full drain every 8 to 12 weeks of regular use. There’s no clever chemistry that beats fresh water.
