As mind-blowing and synchronizing as they were, why on earth was the pool now a toxic looking green?

It wasn’t this color on Monday so why would Maria Lenk Aquatic Centre resemble a deleted scene from Deliverance.
According to The Guardian, even Tom Daley was puzzled, tweeting a picture of the diving pool’s murky green swamp water adjacent to the crystal clear polo pool on the left – showing the radical difference.

But really, if you think about it, why would the pool go green?
According to Jim’s Pool Care – a pool service franchise in Australia, have an answer to it, which is nothing but, lack of sanitation.
The national manager of Jim’s Pool Care, Brett Blair, said:
It’s a very curious one, because the main reason a pool normally goes green is lack of sanitation. The scary part is how at a world event, a pool could go green. It’s unbelievable.
You just had to make sure the pool was okay. Where is that guy? Where is the guy looking after the pool?
He added that since the pool is way too big, the filtration system wouldn’t have coped or otherwise, simply failed.
