How do you get the green off of the sides of a vinyl pool? The water is crystal clear but green.?

We have scrubbed and scrubbed but it won't come off. We can see the bottom of the pool clearly and we think the green is just the color on the sides and bottom. Is there a chemical that will work?How do you get the green off of the sides of a vinyl pool? The water is crystal clear but green.?
Could the liner really be green? (They do sell them in that color.) If it's green above the water line, do nothing.





Take a water sample to the pool store and have them test the sample. They'll probably recommend shocking the pool with chlorine and adding stabilizer to adjust the water color and eliminate the green tint. The pool stores sell a liquid chemical that makes the water sparkling clear/blue.How do you get the green off of the sides of a vinyl pool? The water is crystal clear but green.?
try scrubbing it with some bleach
try a bleach soluton. Not knowing how many gallos of water in the pool you will have to start small. 1 gal. add / wait over 48hrs and recheck.
Are you sure its not algae. When algae is ';blooming'; it is actually growing on the sides. I would try an algecide to kill any algae. Once you kill it - it should sweep easily off the sides.
