Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal
Fast, effective algae removal to transform your green pool back to crystal clear blue water.
Green Water Happens Fast in Arizona
You left town for two weeks. You skipped a few cleanings. Your equipment stopped working. However it happened, your pool turned green. This is incredibly common in Casas Adobes because our intense heat and sunshine create perfect conditions for algae growth. The good news is we can fix it quickly with the right treatment.
Green pools are not just ugly. They are unsafe for swimming and can damage your pool surfaces if left untreated. Algae spreads fast in warm water, turning a small problem into a swamp within days. Our green pool treatment stops algae growth, kills existing algae, and removes it completely from your pool.
How We Restore Your Green Pool
Clearing a green pool takes more than dumping in chlorine. We follow a proven process that works every time. First, we test your water to understand what caused the algae bloom. Then we adjust chemistry, apply specialized algaecide, and super-chlorinate your water to kill all algae.
Here is our complete green pool treatment process:
- Comprehensive water testing to identify algae type and chemical imbalances
- Brushing all pool surfaces to break up algae colonies
- Application of professional-grade algaecide treatment
- Heavy shock treatment to kill algae and bacteria
- Filter cleaning or backwashing to remove dead algae
- Vacuuming to remove settled debris and dead algae
- Water balancing to prevent algae from returning
- Follow-up visits if needed for severe cases
Why Your Pool Turned Green
Understanding the cause helps prevent future blooms. Most green pools in Casas Adobes result from low chlorine levels. Maybe your chlorinator stopped working. Maybe monsoon rains diluted your chemicals. Or maybe intense sun burned off chlorine faster than you replaced it. Whatever the reason, algae moved in when chlorine levels dropped.
Poor circulation also causes green pools. If your pump is not running enough hours, water sits stagnant. Algae loves still water. We check your equipment operation during treatment to make sure circulation problems do not cause another bloom. Prevention starts with proper equipment function.
The Arizona Algae Challenge
Our desert climate makes algae control harder than in other areas. Hot water temperatures speed up algae growth. Dust storms add nutrients that feed algae. And intense UV rays break down chlorine quickly. These local factors mean Casas Adobes pools need vigilant chemical maintenance to stay clear.
After Treatment Care
Your pool will not clear instantly. The treatment process takes 3 to 7 days depending on how green your pool became. During this time, we monitor progress and adjust chemicals as needed. You will see improvement each day as dead algae settles and gets filtered out.
Once clear, establishing regular weekly cleaning prevents algae from coming back. Weekly service maintains proper chemical levels, brushes surfaces before algae can establish, and catches problems early. Most customers never see another green pool after starting regular maintenance.
