how to clean a green swimming pool

All swimmers are familiar with a pet peeve of the pool cleaning industry: how does a pool professional get rid of the used chloramines and triethanolamines in the water?

Excess chemicals result from high-pressure chlorination, firefighting foam applications, or simple human error (for example, neglecting to allow the water to drain and waiting too long to pump out water from an area where chlorine is no longer active). Chloramines are naturally occurring, and are commonly found at low concentrations in freshwater lakes. Triethanolamines, on the other hand, are made by adding hydrochloric acid to a pool water supply. In a system that has been maintained correctly, the long-term mixture of chlorine and triethanolamine is neither toxic nor potentially carcinogenic.

The chloramines and triethanolamines can, however, cause a variety of environmental and health issues, including eye and respiratory irritation and a myriad of nasty side effects.
