Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal
We restore green, cloudy pools back to crystal clear water fast.
A green pool is not just ugly. It is also unsafe to swim in and can damage your equipment if left untreated. Whether your pool turned green after a vacation, a broken pump, or just from neglect, our expert team in Perris can fix it. We specialize in green pool treatment and algae removal that gets results fast.
Why Pools Turn Green
Green water means algae has taken over. Algae grows when conditions are right, usually when chlorine levels drop too low or your filter is not working properly. Here in Perris, the warm sunny weather creates perfect conditions for algae growth. Here are the most common causes:
- Low or zero chlorine levels from missed maintenance
- Broken or malfunctioning pool pump or filter
- Heavy rain or dust storms introducing contaminants
- Poor water circulation in dead zones
- Unbalanced pH levels that reduce chlorine effectiveness
- Phosphates and nitrates from debris and fertilizer runoff
The good news is that no matter how green your pool is, we can restore it. We have seen pools that look like swamps and brought them back to sparkling blue water.
Our Green Pool Treatment Process
We use a proven multi-step process to eliminate algae and restore your pool. This is not a quick fix. It takes time and the right techniques. Here is what we do:
Step 1: Assessment and Testing
We test your water chemistry and inspect your equipment. This tells us what type of algae we are dealing with and what treatment approach to use.
Step 2: Shock Treatment
We add a heavy dose of chlorine shock to kill the algae. This can take 24 to 48 hours to work. The pool might look worse before it looks better as dead algae turns gray or white.
Step 3: Brushing and Circulation
We thoroughly brush all surfaces to break up algae colonies and help the chemicals work faster. Your pump runs continuously to circulate the treated water.
Step 4: Filtering and Cleaning
Once the algae is dead, we vacuum it out and clean your filter multiple times. This removes the dead algae from your system. We also balance your water chemistry to prevent future growth.
Keeping Your Pool Blue
Once we get your pool clear, you want to keep it that way. The best prevention is regular maintenance. Our weekly pool cleaning service keeps your chlorine levels steady and your filter clean. This stops algae before it starts.
If your filter is old or not working well, that could be part of the problem. Check out our pool filter cleaning and replacement services to make sure your equipment is up to the job.
