Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal

How Pools Turn Green and What We Do About It

A green pool is not just an eyesore. It is a sign that algae has taken over your water. This happens when chlorine levels drop too low, often after storms, equipment failures, or simply neglecting maintenance for a few weeks.

The good news? Your pool is not ruined. We specialize in bringing green pools back to life. Our proven treatment process eliminates algae, clears the water, and restores proper chemical balance so you can enjoy your pool again without worry.

Our Green Pool Recovery Process

We do not just add chlorine and hope for the best. Our systematic approach ensures we kill all algae and prevent it from coming back. Here is how we transform your green pool:

• Initial water testing to determine algae type and severity
• Shock treatment with powerful algaecide to kill algae spores
• Thorough brushing of all surfaces to break up algae colonies
• Continuous filtration and backwashing to remove dead algae
• Vacuuming to remove settled debris from the pool floor
• Multiple water chemistry adjustments over several days
• Final clarifier treatment for sparkling clear water

Most green pools take 3 to 7 days to fully clear depending on how severe the algae problem is. We monitor your progress daily and adjust our treatment plan as needed.

Preventing Future Algae Growth

Once we get your pool clear, you want to keep it that way. Algae grows fast when conditions are right, especially during hot Newport Beach summers when water temperatures rise.

The best prevention is consistent maintenance. Regular chlorine levels, proper circulation, and weekly brushing stop algae before it starts. That is why many of our customers switch to our weekly pool cleaning service after we restore their pool.

We also recommend keeping your filter clean and running your pump enough hours each day. A clean filter catches algae spores before they multiply. If your filter needs attention, our filter cleaning service can help.
