Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal
We restore green, swampy pools back to crystal clear blue water fast.
Why Pools Turn Green in Florida
Green pool water happens when algae takes over. In Winter Haven, our hot, humid weather creates perfect conditions for algae to explode overnight. Just a few days without proper chlorine levels can turn clear water into a swamp. Equipment failures, storms, or vacation time away from home all contribute to the problem.
Algae is not just ugly. It makes pool surfaces slippery and dangerous. The longer algae sits, the harder it becomes to remove. What starts as a light green tint becomes a thick, murky mess that blocks visibility completely. We see this situation often in Winter Haven, especially after summer storms knock out pool equipment.
Our Professional Algae Removal Process
Getting rid of algae requires more than dumping chlorine in the water. We use a systematic approach that kills existing algae, removes dead matter, and prevents it from returning. Our technicians have the right chemicals, equipment, and experience to restore your pool quickly.
How We Treat Your Green Pool
Every green pool treatment follows these proven steps. This method works for everything from light green water to completely black, swampy conditions.
- •Remove large debris and leaves from the water surface
- •Test and adjust pH levels for optimal algaecide effectiveness
- •Shock treatment with professional-strength chlorine to kill algae
- •Apply commercial algaecide to prevent regrowth
- •Brush all pool surfaces to loosen dead algae from walls and floor
- •Run filtration continuously and clean filter multiple times
- •Vacuum dead algae and debris from the pool bottom
- •Rebalance all water chemistry for safe swimming
The process typically takes 3 to 5 days for moderate algae problems. Severe cases may need a week or require draining and refilling. We monitor your pool throughout treatment and adjust our approach based on results. You will see noticeable improvement within 24 hours.
Keeping Your Pool Blue After Treatment
Once we clear your green pool, you want it to stay that way. Algae prevention requires consistent maintenance and proper water chemistry. Your filter needs to run long enough each day, typically 8 to 12 hours in Florida summers. Chlorine levels must stay in the correct range at all times.
Most homeowners find that regular professional service prevents green pool problems completely. Our weekly pool cleaning service keeps your water balanced, skimmers clean, and chemicals at proper levels. We also offer filter cleaning to ensure your equipment works efficiently and prevents algae growth.
If your pool turns green repeatedly, your equipment may have problems. Weak pumps, clogged filters, or broken chlorinators cannot maintain clean water. We inspect your system during treatment and let you know if repairs will prevent future algae issues.
