How To Clean a Brown Pool After Rain

In this video, we discuss how to clean a brown pool after rain. Why would a clear pool turn brown after a rainstorm? In this case, there was a storm that dropped more than 5″ of rain in a couple of hours. This caused the pool deck to flood with debris from surrounding landscaping. The debris poured into the water and caused the pool to turn brown.

Supplies Used

  • Vacuum (Manual or Automatic)
  • Test Kit
  • Chlorine Shock (Preferably Liquid but Granular is Ok)
