Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal

How Pools Turn Green and Why It Matters

A green pool is more than just an eyesore. It means algae has taken over your water, and that algae can make people sick. Algae grows fast in Texas heat, especially when chlorine levels drop or your filter stops working properly. Within days, a crystal clear pool can turn into a swamp. The good news is that we can fix it.

We have restored hundreds of green pools in Farmers Branch and the surrounding areas. Whether your pool turned green after a storm, a vacation, or just neglect, we know exactly how to bring it back to life. Our treatment process kills the algae, clears the water, and prevents it from coming back. You do not need to drain your pool or start over from scratch.

Our Green Pool Treatment Process

Restoring a green pool takes more than just adding chlorine. Here is how we do it:

• Remove large debris like leaves, branches, and dirt from the pool
• Test the water chemistry to understand the algae type and severity
• Add professional-grade algaecide to kill algae at the root
• Shock the pool with high doses of chlorine to oxidize organic matter
• Brush the walls, floor, and steps to break up algae colonies
• Run the filter continuously to remove dead algae particles
• Vacuum the pool to remove settled debris and dead algae
• Balance pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness for long-term stability
• Retest and adjust chemicals until the water is crystal clear

Depending on how bad your pool is, this process can take a few days to a week. We visit your pool multiple times to monitor progress and adjust the treatment as needed. Once the water is clear, we recommend weekly pool maintenance to keep algae from returning.

Preventing Algae From Coming Back

After we clear your green pool, you want to keep it that way. Algae grows when chlorine is low, the filter is dirty, or water circulation is poor. We check all these factors during treatment and fix anything that contributed to the problem. If your filter needs cleaning or replacement, we offer filter cleaning and replacement services to make sure your system is working at full capacity.

We also teach you what to watch for so algae does not sneak up on you again. Regular maintenance is the best defense. If you do not have time to keep up with it yourself, our professional pool services make it easy to enjoy a clean, safe pool all year long without the hassle.
