Nice start to my day went outside and the pool had turned green after so much rain (not a real big deal, easy and quick fix) so turned on the pump and put some shock treatment in which will clear it back up in about 30 minutes or less. BUT before I even got back into the house BOOM the Fuk'n pump literally blows up.
Fuk Me To Tears!
Green water in support of the Olympics in Rio?
Looked that way for sure but turning green after a huge rainfall is not a big deal as long as you catch it pretty quick. Just dump in a couple of pounds of powered shock (extra high potency chlorine) and it will be fine in 30 minutes, UNLESS the pump blows up.
Now, if you happen to be out of town for a couple of days and it turns green from rain then you got a mess because things go to hell pretty quick and getting it back right can take some extensive effort and hundreds of $ in chemicals. That happened last year and it was a 2 week nightmare so now we pay a nice high school boy down the street to come tend to it everyday while we are gone for more than 2-3 days.
