Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal
Turn your green, murky pool back into crystal clear water fast.
Why Pools Turn Green
Green pool water is one of the most common problems we see in Baldwin Park. It happens when algae grows out of control, usually because of low chlorine levels, poor filtration, or hot weather. The summer heat in California creates the perfect environment for algae to thrive. Once it takes hold, your pool can turn from blue to green in just a few days.
You might notice cloudy water at first. Then it gets worse, turning darker green until you can barely see the bottom. The walls feel slimy. The water smells off. It looks terrible and you definitely cannot swim in it. But here is the good news: we can fix it. We have restored hundreds of green pools in Baldwin Park, and yours will be next.
How We Restore Your Pool
Our proven treatment process gets your pool back to crystal clear water quickly. Here is how it works:
Step 1: Assessment and Cleaning
We start by testing your water chemistry and checking your equipment. Then we remove all visible debris, leaves, and floating matter. This gives us a clean slate to work with.
Step 2: Brush and Vacuum
We thoroughly brush every surface to break up algae colonies clinging to your walls, floor, and steps. Then we vacuum everything out. This step is crucial because it removes the bulk of the algae before we treat the water.
Step 3: Chemical Treatment
We shock your pool with a high dose of chlorine to kill all remaining algae. We also add algaecide and adjust your pH levels. The water will start clearing up within 24 hours.
Step 4: Filter Cleaning and Circulation
Your filter needs to run continuously during treatment. We clean or backwash your filter to ensure it can handle removing all the dead algae. Proper circulation is key to success.
Step 5: Follow-Up and Final Balance
We return to check your progress, vacuum any remaining debris, and fine-tune your chemistry. Your pool should be swim-ready within 3 to 5 days depending on how severe the algae problem was.
Preventing Future Algae Growth
Once we get your pool clear, you want to keep it that way. Here are the most important things to remember:
- ✓Maintain proper chlorine levels at all times, especially during hot weather
- ✓Run your filter at least 8 to 12 hours per day during summer
- ✓Brush your pool walls weekly to prevent algae from taking hold
- ✓Test your water chemistry at least twice a week
- ✓Schedule regular professional maintenance to catch problems early
