Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal
We restore green, murky pools back to crystal clear water fast.
A green pool is frustrating. One week everything looks fine, and the next your water looks like a swamp. Algae can take over fast, especially during hot Abilene summers when the sun beats down on your pool all day. The good news is that green pools are completely fixable. Our green pool treatment service targets algae at the source, clears up cloudy water, and restores the sparkling blue color you want to see in your backyard.
Why Pools Turn Green in the First Place
Algae grows when your pool water is out of balance. Low chlorine levels, high pH, poor circulation, and warm temperatures all create the perfect environment for algae to thrive. Even a few days of missed maintenance can lead to a green pool. Storms, heavy rains, and debris also introduce contaminants that feed algae growth. In Abilene, our climate makes pools especially vulnerable during the summer months when temperatures stay high for weeks at a time.
Some pool owners try to fix it themselves with store-bought shock and algaecide, but it rarely works as well as professional treatment. The problem is that different types of algae require different approaches. Green algae, black algae, and mustard algae all need specific treatments to fully eliminate them. If you are dealing with a persistent pool problem in Abilene, professional help saves you time and money in the long run.
Our Proven Algae Removal Process
We follow a systematic approach to green pool treatment that delivers results. Here is what we do:
- Test water chemistry to identify imbalances
- Remove large debris and visible algae from surfaces
- Apply powerful algaecide treatments targeting the specific algae type
- Shock the pool with professional-grade chemicals
- Brush walls, steps, and floors to break up algae colonies
- Run your filter continuously to remove dead algae
- Clean or backwash your filter system
- Rebalance chemicals and monitor progress
How Long Does Treatment Take
Most green pool treatments take 3 to 7 days to fully clear the water, depending on how bad the algae problem is. Light green pools with early algae growth clear up faster than dark green swamp-like pools with heavy algae blooms. We usually visit at least twice during the treatment process to monitor progress, adjust chemicals, and make sure the algae does not come back.
After we restore your pool, we recommend signing up for weekly maintenance to prevent future algae growth. Regular service keeps your water balanced and your pool looking great all season long. If you prefer to handle maintenance yourself, we can also provide guidance on the right products and schedule to follow.
Preventing Future Algae Problems
Once your pool is clear, you want to keep it that way. The best prevention is consistent maintenance. Test your water at least once a week, brush your pool surfaces regularly, and keep your filter running on schedule. Make sure your chlorine levels stay within the proper range, and do not skip shocking your pool after heavy use or storms. If you notice any green tint or cloudy water starting to develop, address it immediately before it turns into a bigger problem. Sometimes pools also benefit from professional filter cleaning to improve circulation and water clarity.
