Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal

When Your Pool Turns Green

A green pool is more than just an eyesore. It means algae has taken over, and the water is not safe for swimming. This happens when your pool goes without proper care, especially during hot Norwalk, CA summers. Maybe your pump stopped working, you went on vacation, or you just got behind on maintenance. Whatever the reason, we can fix it.

Our green pool treatment service eliminates algae completely and restores your water to a safe, sparkling condition. We have seen pools in every state from slightly cloudy to thick green swamp water. No matter how bad it looks, we have the experience and equipment to bring it back. You do not have to drain your pool or start over. We handle the entire restoration process from start to finish.

How We Remove Algae and Restore Clear Water

Clearing a green pool takes more than dumping in some chlorine. We follow a proven process that kills algae, removes it from your pool, and prevents it from coming back:

• •Test the water to see exactly what we are dealing with and create a treatment plan
• •Apply professional-strength algaecide to kill all algae in the water
• •Shock the pool with the right amount of chlorine to oxidize dead algae
• •Brush all surfaces thoroughly to break up algae clinging to walls and floors
• •Run your filter continuously and clean it regularly to remove dead algae
• •Vacuum the pool to remove settled debris and algae from the bottom
• •Balance all water chemistry to prevent algae from growing back

This process can take a few days to a week depending on how severe the algae growth is. We visit multiple times to monitor progress, clean the filter, and adjust chemicals. If your filter is too dirty or damaged, we can also provide filter cleaning and replacement services.

Why Pools Turn Green and How to Prevent It

Algae grows when your pool water becomes unbalanced or when circulation stops. Low chlorine levels, high phosphate levels, poor filtration, and warm temperatures all create the perfect environment for algae. In Norwalk, CA, our hot summer weather makes pools especially vulnerable if they are not maintained properly.

The best way to prevent a green pool is regular maintenance. Our weekly pool cleaning service keeps your water balanced, your filter clean, and your circulation running smoothly. This prevents algae before it ever starts. But if your pool has already turned green, we are here to fix it fast.
