Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal

How Pools Turn Green and What We Do About It

A green pool is not just unsightly; it is also unsafe for swimming. The green color comes from algae, a plant-like organism that thrives in warm, stagnant water with poor chemical balance. Algae can take over your pool quickly, especially during the hot Texas summer. Within just a few days of neglect, your pool can go from slightly cloudy to completely green. Once algae gets established, it is difficult to remove without the right equipment and expertise.

Our green pool treatment service is specifically designed to eliminate algae and restore your water to crystal clear condition. We do not just dump chlorine in the pool and hope for the best. We follow a proven process that kills the algae, removes it from your pool, and restores proper water chemistry so it does not come back. We have treated hundreds of green pools in Princeton, McKinney, and Allen, and we know exactly what it takes to get your pool back to swim-ready condition quickly.

Whether your pool turned green because of equipment failure, a vacation, a storm, or simply neglect, we can fix it. Many homeowners try to tackle algae themselves and end up frustrated and out of money after buying products that do not work. Save yourself the hassle and call professional pool cleaners who have the training and tools to do the job right the first time.

Our Algae Removal Process

Removing algae requires more than just adding chemicals. Here is how we restore your green pool:

• Pool Assessment: We inspect your pool to determine the type and severity of the algae problem and check for equipment issues that might have caused it.
• Algae Treatment: We add the right amount of algaecide and shock treatment to kill all the algae in your pool.
• Brushing and Circulation: We brush all surfaces to break up algae colonies and circulate the water to distribute the treatment evenly.
• Filter Cleaning: We clean or backwash your filter multiple times to remove dead algae and debris from the system.
• Vacuuming and Removal: We vacuum the pool floor to remove settled algae and debris, either to waste or through the filter depending on your setup.
• Water Balancing: We test and adjust your water chemistry to prevent future algae growth and ensure safe swimming conditions.
• Follow-Up Visits: We return as needed to monitor your progress and make final adjustments until your water is perfectly clear.

How Long Does It Take?

The timeline for clearing a green pool depends on how severe the algae problem is. Light algae blooms can usually be cleared in 3 to 5 days. Moderate algae problems typically take 5 to 7 days. Severe or black algae infestations can take 10 to 14 days or more. We will give you a realistic timeline when we assess your pool, and we will keep you updated throughout the process.

During the treatment period, you will not be able to swim in your pool. The water needs time to circulate, the chemicals need time to work, and we need to remove all the dead algae before the pool is safe. But do not worry; we work as quickly as possible to get your pool back in service. Once the treatment is complete, we recommend signing up for weekly maintenance service to prevent the problem from happening again.

Preventing Algae Growth in the Future

Once we clear your green pool, you want to make sure it stays clear. Algae grows when your chlorine level drops too low, your water circulation is poor, or your water chemistry gets out of balance. The best way to prevent algae is through regular maintenance. That means running your pump every day, testing and adjusting your chemicals weekly, and keeping your filter clean.

If you do not have time to do all that yourself, our weekly service takes care of everything for you. We also offer other services like filter cleaning and equipment checks to keep your pool systems running efficiently. Prevention is always easier and cheaper than treatment, so staying on top of maintenance is worth the investment.
