worried Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I just got my pool interior Mediterranean Luna Quartz installed and the pool looks green. The pool is just filled and the equipment is not running yet (new construction). The water is suposed to look blue to dark blue, but not green. Any chances the color will change once the equipment is running and the chemistry of the water is fixed? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoolGuyNJ Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 There is a pretty high likelihood that that is exactly what will happen. Your pH is likely high, your finish is unbrushed and not anywhere near cured. This is a pretty near normal experience. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouTex1962 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Our French Grey Luna Quartz is now about 4.5 months old. It took a few days to clear/turn blue and my 2 HP pump is way oversized for my 9,200 gallon pool and it ran 24/7 for the first week. I'd give it some time. Also, follow the directions on the pool start-up. I can't recall, but it may say not to use chlorine for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worried Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 My pool is now looking great. The blue color came out after 2 days and looks fantastic. I guess my pool builder should have warned me about it and avoid some anxiety on my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
