Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal

How Pools Turn Green

A green pool is not just ugly. It is a sign that algae has taken over your water. This happens when the chlorine level drops too low, the pH gets out of balance, or the filter stops working properly. In Hemet, our hot summers speed up algae growth, especially if you skip even a few weeks of maintenance.

You might think a green pool is ruined, but the good news is we can fix it. We have treated hundreds of green pools across Hemet and brought them back to sparkling condition. The process takes time and the right chemicals, but your pool can look brand new again.

Our Proven Treatment Process

Green pool recovery is not a one-step fix. We follow a systematic approach that kills the algae, clears the water, and prevents it from coming back. Here is how we restore your pool.

• •Initial assessment to determine the type and severity of algae growth
• •Balance pH and alkalinity to prepare the water for treatment
• •Heavy brushing of all pool surfaces to break up algae colonies
• •Shock treatment with high doses of chlorine to kill remaining algae
• •Algaecide application to prevent regrowth
• •Continuous filtration and cleaning until water clears completely
• •Follow-up visits to monitor chemistry and adjust as needed

Why DIY Green Pool Treatment Usually Fails

Many homeowners try to fix a green pool themselves and end up frustrated. They add shock, the water turns cloudy, and nothing seems to improve. The problem is that green pool treatment requires precise chemical dosing and timing that most DIY approaches miss.

We know exactly how much shock to use based on your pool size and algae type. We know when to brush, when to add algaecide, and how long to run your filter. We also check for underlying problems like poor circulation or a dirty filter that could cause the algae to return. After we treat your pool, many homeowners transition to our weekly pool maintenance service in Hemet to prevent future algae problems.

How Long Green Pool Recovery Takes

Most green pools take 5 to 10 days to fully clear up. The timeline depends on how bad the algae problem is and whether there are any equipment issues slowing down the process. Black algae, which sometimes appears as dark spots on pool walls, takes longer to eliminate than regular green algae.

We will visit your pool multiple times during the treatment period to test the water, adjust chemicals, and vacuum out dead algae. You will see improvement each day as the water gradually changes from green to cloudy to clear.

We also recommend our filter cleaning service during green pool treatment since filters often get clogged with dead algae. A clean filter speeds up the clearing process significantly. If your pool equipment needs repairs, check out our equipment repair services as well.
