jmacdoug Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I have come across an issue that my Wife and I have NEVER seen in any pool, ever. Whenever we go into my sister's pool, any white areas of bathing suits or clothing turns a light tint of green. Now, the pool is balanced to the T. We also are members of our community pool as well as having our own above ground pool. This does not happen in any of these, only at my sister' pool. Their pool is an in ground with a vinyl liner. Has anyone come across this issue? Keep in mind, no one's hair is turning green. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantumchromodynamics Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Probably copper. Ask your sister if she has used any copper-based algaecide or if she has an ionizer. Is the pool heated? Have the water tested for copper and iron. If the white of bathing suits is turning green, then hair is also probably getting a little bit of green color. It's just more noticeable on a pure white background. What color is everyone's hair? Are there any stains on the pool surfaces? You say that "now" the water is balanced, was the water out of balance recently? In what way? What are all of the water chemistry readings?
