Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal
Expert algae elimination and green pool restoration to transform your murky water into crystal clear perfection.
Why Pools Turn Green
You walk outside and your pool looks like a swamp. It happens faster than you think. Green pool water is caused by algae growth, and once it starts, it spreads quickly. Algae thrives when your pool's chemical balance is off, the filter is not running enough, or the water has not been properly maintained.
Many Glendora homeowners call us in a panic when their pool turns green. The good news? We have seen worse, and we know exactly how to fix it. Our green pool treatment service tackles algae at its source, restoring your pool to swim-ready condition.
Green water is not just unsightly. It can harbor bacteria and make your pool unsafe for swimming. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to clear. That is why prompt treatment is essential.
Our Proven Treatment Process
We do not just dump chemicals in your pool and hope for the best. Our green pool treatment follows a systematic approach that eliminates algae completely and prevents it from coming back.
Step 1: Assessment and Testing
First, we test your water to understand exactly what we are dealing with. We check pH, alkalinity, chlorine levels, and inspect your filtration system. This tells us how aggressive the algae is and what treatment strength is needed.
Step 2: Deep Cleaning and Brushing
We manually brush every surface of your pool. Algae clings to walls, steps, and corners. Brushing breaks up algae colonies and makes them vulnerable to treatment chemicals. This step is critical and cannot be skipped.
Step 3: Shock Treatment
We apply a heavy shock treatment to kill the algae. Depending on how green your pool is, we may use double or triple the normal amount of chlorine. We also add algaecide to attack any remaining spores.
Step 4: Filtration and Vacuuming
Your filter runs continuously to remove dead algae from the water. We vacuum the pool floor to remove settled debris. If your filter is clogged or dirty, we clean or backwash it to restore proper flow. For pools with severe buildup, we may recommend our filter cleaning service.
Step 5: Rebalancing
Once the water clears, we retest and balance all chemicals. We make sure pH, alkalinity, and chlorine are at safe swimming levels. If you want to prevent future algae issues, we can set you up with our weekly maintenance program.
Types of Algae We Treat
Not all algae is the same. Here are the common types we see in Glendora pools:
- •Green Algae: The most common type. It floats in water and clings to walls. Turns your pool light to dark green.
- •Yellow (Mustard) Algae: Looks like sand or pollen on pool surfaces. Harder to kill than green algae.
- •Black Algae: The toughest kind. Forms dark spots with deep roots in plaster. Requires aggressive treatment.
Each type needs a different treatment approach. Our technicians have the experience to identify the algae in your pool and use the right methods to eliminate it completely.
