Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal
We restore green, cloudy pools back to crystal clear water fast.
Why Pools Turn Green in Galveston
A green pool is one of the most common problems we see here in Galveston. Our hot, humid climate creates the perfect environment for algae to thrive. When your chlorine levels drop or your filter stops working properly, algae can take over in just a few days.
You might wake up one morning and notice your water has a greenish tint. By the next day, it could look like a swamp. This happens faster during summer when temperatures spike and rain brings extra debris. If you have been away on vacation or missed a few weeks of maintenance, algae can bloom quickly.
The good news is that green pools are fixable. With the right treatment and equipment, we can bring your pool back to life. Our professional pool cleaning team in Galveston has handled hundreds of algae-filled pools. We know exactly what it takes to clear the water and keep it clear.
Our Algae Removal Process
Clearing a green pool is not as simple as adding chlorine. It requires a step-by-step approach to kill the algae, remove it from your pool, and prevent it from coming back. Here is how we do it:
- Test your water chemistry to understand the imbalance
- Brush all pool surfaces to break up algae colonies
- Shock the pool with a high dose of chlorine to kill algae
- Run your filter continuously to remove dead algae from the water
- Vacuum debris and sediment from the pool floor
- Backwash or clean your filter multiple times as needed
- Rebalance your water chemistry for long-term clarity
This process usually takes 3 to 7 days depending on how severe the algae growth is. We visit multiple times during treatment to monitor progress and adjust chemicals. By the end, your water will be crystal clear and safe to swim in again.
Preventing Future Algae Growth
Once we have cleared your pool, the next step is keeping it that way. Algae prevention comes down to consistent maintenance. That means regular weekly cleaning, proper chemical balance, and a functioning filter system.
If your filter is old or damaged, algae can return quickly. We recommend checking your pool filter regularly and replacing it when needed. A clean filter is one of the best defenses against green water.
We also recommend our weekly service if you travel often or do not have time to monitor your pool. Our technicians test your water every visit and make adjustments before algae has a chance to grow. It is the easiest way to avoid another green pool emergency.
