Understanding Green Pool Problems

A green pool is more than just an eyesore. It's a sign that algae has taken over your water. This happens when the chemical balance gets disrupted, allowing algae spores to multiply rapidly. In Sanford, FL, our warm climate and frequent rain create perfect conditions for algae growth. If your pool turns green, don't panic. We've seen it all, and we know exactly how to fix it.

Algae grows fast when chlorine levels drop too low. Maybe your pool was left unattended during a vacation. Or perhaps the pump stopped working without you noticing. Whatever the cause, our expert pool cleaning team can restore your pool quickly and effectively.

Our Green Pool Treatment Process

Getting rid of algae requires more than just adding chlorine. It takes a systematic approach to kill the algae, remove it from your pool, and prevent it from coming back. Here's how we do it:

  • Complete water testing to determine algae type and chemical imbalances
  • Heavy brushing of all pool surfaces to break up algae colonies
  • Shock treatment with high doses of chlorine to kill algae
  • Addition of algaecide for stubborn algae strains
  • Filter cleaning or backwashing to remove dead algae
  • Vacuuming to waste to prevent algae from returning to the pool
  • Multiple follow-up treatments to ensure complete elimination
  • Water balancing to prevent future algae growth

Why Algae Needs Professional Treatment

Many pool owners try to fix a green pool themselves by adding shock and hoping for the best. While that might work for minor algae problems, a truly green pool needs aggressive treatment. Without the right equipment and chemicals, you'll end up wasting time and money while the algae keeps coming back.

We have commercial-grade chemicals and powerful equipment that get the job done right. Our technicians know how to identify different types of algae, from common green algae to the stubborn black algae that clings to pool walls. Each type requires a different treatment approach, and we've mastered them all.

Timeline and Expectations

Most green pool treatments take 3 to 7 days from start to finish. We'll make an initial visit to shock the pool and start the treatment process. Then we'll return every day or two to test the water, clean the filter, and add more chemicals as needed. You'll see the water starting to clear within 24 to 48 hours, but it takes time to completely eliminate all the algae.

During the treatment process, you won't be able to swim. The high chlorine levels needed to kill algae aren't safe for swimming. Once the treatment is complete and the water is balanced, we'll let you know when it's safe to use your pool again. If we find any equipment issues during the treatment, like a dirty filter that needs replacement, we'll let you know. We can handle pool filter cleaning and replacement as part of the service.

After your pool is clear, we recommend setting up weekly pool cleaning service to prevent algae from coming back. Regular maintenance is the best way to keep your water crystal clear year-round.
