4 Steps to Keep Your Pool From Turning Green After a Storm

Shock the pool before the storm hits Add a heavy dose of chlorine shock and run the pump for a few hours before rain starts. Rain dilutes chlorine, debris adds nutrients, and power outages stop your pump.

Add a tablet floater for insurance If possible, toss in a floating chlorine tablet dispenser to maintain residual protection during the storm.

Test the water after the storm Once the storm passes, check your chlorine and pH levels to see if they need adjustment.

Shock again if needed If chlorine levels are low, repeat the shock treatment. People who wait until after the storm end up with green pools.
