We have one of those 3 ft inflatable pools, we've treated it with pool shocker 4 in 1, the spa tablets, and even clean the filter everyday with bleach. But the pool is still green, what's wrong and how do we fix it.

In the hot weather chlorine dissipates into the air within a day, you need to add shock every day and keep the filter running 24/7

attempt the ph stability each and every from time to time if the water is to acidic or caustic it is going to reason the water to proceed to be cloudy and nasty. good ole bleach which you purchase at walmart could desire to help some yet thats what the ph attempt ought to have the skill to tell you. each and every from time to time too a lot of a few thing is undesirable. too a lot chlorine or different chemical components can enable the algae to enhance greater. the only different difficulty i will see to do is to draing the pool and replenish it. verify the filter out generally if the pool became rather that undesirable off reason greater advantageous than in all danger you would be filling the filter out up with junk many times till the project is resolved. good luck.

Sounds like you need to shock it some more. Is the pool out in the sun? Cause that makes the algea grow more too.

the water will not be green, it will be the dirt on the base of the pool makeing it look green. if you add a little salt to the water every few weeks it will help.
or keep the pool coved up at all times when not being used.

We do the same thing you do when are pool turns green but what we do is we mix it up you cant have the pool shock sit there. my dad goes in there and does a whirl pool. but you can get i long stick thing and run around the pool, that works.

You have an algae bloom, it is being fed by something like fertilizer, you need to stop feeding it. Make swimmers clean their feet before entering will help.

You have moss and algae. Add a few carp to the water. They will eat it up, and keep it clean.
