Hey everyone, so after having absolutely no issues in my first year of owning the Intex Easyset 10x30 pool, I had my first real challenge. The water turned completely green after a tropical system dumped about 5 inches of rain. There is nothing worse then coming out for a swim and finding this green pool algae and cloudy water. I thought I would treat this like a larger pool and fix everything with pool chemicals, giving you all the steps on how to make the water crystal clear again. After all pool maintenance isn't rocket science right? When it comes to small pools or hot tubs, honestly sometimes it is best to just drain the water and try again. I did use shock and went back and forth between ph up and ph down before finally starting over.

If you are interested in the specific products I used, I will link to them here:

    I love how this video has a great twist at the end, but to be honest with a small pool (I have an Intex 3x2m, so simialar water capacity), your advise to just start over is I think the wisest advise I've gotten from any of the many pool maintainance videos on YouTube. Thanks! :)

    put baking soda to become crystal clear water

    My problem is sediment in the well water. I’m going to try this! Thank you, Dad!

    Wish I'd saw this video. This is exactly what happened to ours just literally 2 rainy days and went to check it and soon green. NOW THE TASK OF CLEANING IT UP AND STORING IT WHILE LIVING IN THE COUNTRY.
  • @MrCaptainCrazy
    Your end conclusion was the right decision. BTW, nice house!
  • @Hilshere1
    Totally agree with this size of pool 👍
  • @papiliopurpuro
    Ok so if I have that pool in a slightly smaller size but without a pump then im definitely fighting a lost cause? 😩 I've shocked it and upped the algaecide. Waiting for clarifier to arrive but seller hasn't dispatched it yet 🤦🏻‍♀️. Wanted to avoid flooding the garden though 😬

    How much did your water bill go up?

    All I do is just drain my pool, clean it out, and refill it , do that weekly or sometimes twice a week.
