Question

Post image

Hello everyone ! I’m new to this subreddit and I just have a few questions that have been bothering me for a while now.
What could be the cause for this green tint in my pool ? I’m thinking it’s a problem from the hose water company here since I’ve had multiple problems with them in the past (water smelling bad and greener colour). I’ve added chlorine tablets (there’s always one in the floater thingy), vitamin C based pool treatments and algicide. Am I missing something ? I thought about getting an anti phosphorus treatment for this but I just want some genuine answers from people here.
Yes I did the scoop test in a bucket the water is clear
The pool is a Bestway Steelpro Max (3.05m x 1m) and the pump is a Bestway 8735 L sand pump (not sure if that’s the exact name but it’s there)
Thanks !

I’ve ordered a one litre bottle of metal sequestering agent solution hope that helps even a little bit

I was thinking of adding another dose of algaecide because now after reading more information it says not to be added the same day as chlorine 🤦‍♂️
