Step 1
Keep your chlorine levels within an acceptable range. It's always better to be on the higher end of the normal range to prevent green algae.
-
Step 2
Go down at least 12 inches when getting a water sample to test your chlorine levels. The surface water isn't as accurate. Follow the instructions on your chlorine test kit.

Step 3
Use a solar cover on your pool overnight. Covering your pool properly will reduce the amount of debris that gets into your water, making it easier to keep clean.

Step 4
Shock your pool with highly concentrated products designed for this purpose. These products usually contain strong chemicals. Use baking soda if you run out of pool chemicals. Baking soda is an inexpensive and handy solution, although it's not quite as effective as the commercially prepared products.
