Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal
We turn swamp-like pools back into crystal clear water you can swim in.
Why Pools Turn Green and How We Fix It
A green pool is not just dirty water. It means algae have taken over. Algae grow fast in San Luis because of our hot weather and strong sunlight. Once algae start spreading, your pool can turn completely green in just a few days. The water becomes cloudy, slimy, and unsafe for swimming.
Most green pools happen when chlorine levels drop too low or the filter stops working properly. Maybe you went on vacation and nobody checked the pool. Or your pump failed and you did not notice right away. Whatever caused it, we can fix it. Our team has restored hundreds of green pools across San Luis and we know exactly what it takes.
Our Green Pool Treatment Process:
- •Remove all visible debris and organic matter
- •Balance pH and alkalinity levels first
- •Apply shock treatment to kill algae
- •Add algaecide for deep penetration
- •Brush all surfaces to break up algae colonies
- •Run filter continuously and clean repeatedly
- •Vacuum dead algae and sediment
- •Monitor and adjust chemistry daily until clear
How Long Does Green Pool Recovery Take?
Here is the truth about green pool treatment. It takes time. Most pools need 3 to 7 days to fully recover depending on how bad the algae problem is. Light green pools with early algae growth usually clear up in 3 to 4 days. Dark green or black pools with heavy algae can take a full week or more.
We do not just treat your pool once and walk away. Fixing a green pool requires multiple visits. We come back every day or every other day to monitor progress, adjust chemicals, clean the filter, and vacuum. Each visit brings your pool closer to perfect clarity. You will see improvement after the first treatment, but complete recovery takes patience.
Some companies promise instant results with a single treatment. That is not realistic. Proper green pool recovery follows a proven scientific process. We kill the algae, filter out the dead matter, and stabilize your water chemistry. Rushing this process means the algae come right back. We do it correctly so the problem stays fixed. After recovery, many customers sign up for our weekly cleaning service to prevent it from happening again.
Preventing Future Algae Growth
Once we restore your pool, you want to keep it that way. Algae prevention comes down to three things: proper chlorine levels, regular brushing, and good circulation. Your filter needs to run long enough each day to turn over all the water. In San Luis summers, that usually means 8 to 10 hours daily.
Weekly maintenance makes all the difference. Even a few days without proper care can start the algae cycle again. That is why we recommend professional service especially during peak summer months. Our regular pool maintenance plans include everything needed to prevent algae before it starts.
If you notice any green tint or cloudy spots forming, call us immediately. Early treatment is much faster and cheaper than waiting until your whole pool turns green. We also offer filter cleaning services because a dirty filter cannot remove algae spores effectively. Clean filters are your first line of defense against green water.
