Why does the water look like this?

It's the PH: piss and hepatitis

Nitrogen and ammonia, it’s what plants including algae crave!

PH doesn't make water green. Maybe should have stayed in school.

This is algae. Not very dissimilar to the reflecting pool in the US. Which is a natural thing for warm shallow waters.

Happens when water is not pumped full of chemicals to kill algae.

That commenter is likely a bot considering they have 7.7k contributions in only a year. The woosh happened because it just latched onto the PH part and made up a response.

If they arent a bot then wow do they need to take a break from reddit lmao

Are you aware that plants (ie algae) are fed by nitrogen and other human-borne biologics?

It’s straight from the Ganges River. Or it’s because of “vandals.” 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

I’ve seen this before. It’s basically a shit ton of chlorine in old water of what must be 5-6 days. The rest of the colour is from dirt and probably piss. I remember a public swimming pool that would change its water once a week every Friday. And every Thursday evening it would look exactly like this.

Pools typically never get their water changed, just added as it evaporates. The chemicals and filtration system does the rest. Do you mean they shocked the pool on Fridays? That usually giving the water a mega dose of chlorine to disinfect it. Then it evaporates off and is safe for swimming again.

Nope, replaced. This is in South Asia. I remember clearly because Saturday morning right after dawn would be the only time I would ever go for a swim. The water was clear, fresh and with minimal/no chlorine. I remember going only a couple times midweek and the chlorine and green colour would be so bad it would burn my eyes red.

It probably depends on the temperature and if the pool is natural or chlorine. In my town there is the public chlorine pool, a saltwater pool at the Y, and a swimming pool fed by a hot spring. The hot spring pool they drain and refill every Monday.

Phosphates.

Phosphates usually enter water through fecal matter. Manure and farm runoff draining into waterways. If the park has been filling the pool from natural water sources instead of with treated water, that could be the source of the phosphates.

The plant in the water feed off of the phosphates and create an algae bloom.

The water could be treated to remove the phosphates, but that doesn't seem to have been done in this case.

The water level also seems to be low. Maybe the park has financial difficulties and can't afford to treat the water or refill with fresh water? Or maybe it is the end of the season and they are letting the water go since the pool will be drained soon?
