Complete algae treatment, chemical shock, filter overhaul, and restoration to crystal-clear water. From swamp to swim-ready, typically in 3-7 days.
A green pool isn't just ugly — it's a health hazard and can damage your equipment. Algae clogs filters, stains surfaces, and breeds bacteria. The longer you wait, the more expensive and time-consuming the recovery.
We've recovered pools that were closer to ponds than pools. The process is systematic, and the timeline depends on severity. Here's how we bring your pool back.
We evaluate the severity — light green, dark green, or black — and check equipment condition before starting.
Aggressive chlorine treatment to kill all algae and bacteria. This is not a bag of shock from the hardware store.
Equipment runs 24/7 during recovery. We clean or backwash the filter multiple times during the process.
Dead algae must be physically removed from walls, floors, and crevices. We brush and vacuum thoroughly.
Once clear, we rebalance all chemistry parameters to prevent recurrence.
We'll explain what caused the algae bloom and how to prevent it from happening again.
Day 1: Assessment, initial shock, equipment check. The pool will turn cloudy or whitish as algae dies — that's normal.
Days 2-3: Continuous filtration and additional chemical treatment. Multiple filter cleans. Water transitions from green/cloudy to hazy blue.
Days 4-5: Brushing dead algae from surfaces, vacuuming to waste, more filter maintenance. Water clears significantly.
Days 5-7: Final chemistry balance, polishing, and equipment check. Pool goes from hazy to crystal clear.
Severe cases (black algae, standing water for months) may take longer. We'll give you an honest timeline after the initial assessment.
