Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal
We restore green, murky pools back to crystal clear blue in just a few days.
We Fix Green Pools Fast
A green pool can happen to anyone. Maybe your pump stopped working, you went on vacation, or you just got overwhelmed with pool maintenance. Whatever the reason, we're here to help without judgment. Green water means algae has taken over, and it needs professional treatment to get rid of it properly.
Here in Costa Mesa, green pools are more common than you might think. Our warm California weather is perfect for algae growth, especially during summer. The good news is that algae doesn't permanently damage your pool. With the right treatment, we can have your water sparkling blue again usually within 3-7 days.
Our team has restored hundreds of green pools throughout Costa Mesa since 2024. We use proven methods that kill algae at the source and prevent it from coming back. Unlike DIY treatments that often fail or take weeks, our professional approach gets results fast. For ongoing protection after we clear your green pool, consider our regular pool maintenance services.
Our Green Pool Treatment Process
Treating a green pool takes more than just adding chlorine. We follow a specific process that kills all the algae and prevents it from returning. Here's what we do:
- •Test and balance your water chemistry to create the right conditions for treatment
- •Remove large debris and brush all surfaces to break up algae colonies
- •Apply specialized algaecide treatment designed for your specific algae type
- •Shock the pool with powerful oxidizers that kill algae cells
- •Run your filtration system continuously to remove dead algae particles
- •Vacuum the pool floor to remove settled debris and algae
- •Clean or backwash your filter multiple times as it captures algae
- •Return for follow-up treatments and monitoring until water is crystal clear
The entire process usually takes 3-7 days depending on how severe the algae problem is. We'll visit your pool multiple times during treatment to monitor progress and make adjustments. If your pool filter needs cleaning or replacement, we'll let you know. For less severe problems, our one-time deep cleaning might be enough.
What Causes Pools to Turn Green
Understanding why your pool turned green helps prevent it from happening again. Algae needs three things to grow: sunlight, warmth, and nutrients. Your pool has all three, so the only thing stopping algae is proper chemical balance and circulation.
When chlorine levels drop too low, algae starts growing fast. This can happen if your pump stops working, your filter gets clogged, or chemicals aren't added regularly. In Costa Mesa, our sunny weather means algae can take over a pool in just a few days during summer if conditions are right.
Other common causes include heavy rain diluting your chemicals, lots of swimmers introducing contaminants, or equipment failures you might not notice right away. The key is catching problems early before your whole pool turns green. Regular maintenance prevents these issues completely.
