Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal

No Pool Is Too Green for Us

A green pool can feel overwhelming. Maybe you went on vacation, had equipment fail, or life just got busy. Either way, when you look outside and see green water instead of blue, it is hard to know where to start. The good news is that we handle these situations every week in Pico Rivera, and we know exactly how to fix it.

Algae growth happens fast in warm California weather. Once it starts, it spreads quickly and turns your water into something that looks more like a swamp than a pool. But no matter how bad it looks right now, we can bring it back. We have seen pools that were green for months, and we have restored every single one.

How We Eliminate Algae Completely

Getting rid of algae takes more than dumping in some chlorine and hoping for the best. We follow a proven process that kills the algae, clears the water, and prevents it from coming back. Here is what we do step by step:

• Full pool assessment to determine algae type and severity
• Water chemistry testing to check pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels
• Aggressive brushing of all surfaces to break up algae colonies
• Shock treatment application with the right chemicals for your algae type
• Filter cleaning or backwash to remove dead algae and debris
• Thorough vacuuming to remove all settled dead algae from the bottom
• Follow-up chemical balancing to keep water clear and algae-free

Depending on how bad the algae problem is, we may need to come back for a second treatment. Some stubborn algae takes more than one round to eliminate completely. We will be honest with you about what it will take and stay with it until your water is perfect.

Why Pools Turn Green

Algae grows when your pool water loses balance. Low chlorine levels, high pH, warm temperatures, and poor circulation all create the perfect environment for algae to thrive. In Pico Rivera, our hot summers make it even easier for algae to take over if your pool is not properly maintained.

Sometimes equipment failure causes the problem. A broken pump or clogged filter means your water is not moving or getting cleaned, which lets algae spread fast. Other times it is just a matter of falling behind on weekly pool cleaning service during busy times. Whatever the cause, we fix the problem and help you prevent it from happening again.

Keeping Algae Away for Good

Once we clear your pool, you want to make sure the algae does not come back. The best way to prevent future algae growth is regular maintenance. That means keeping your chlorine levels steady, making sure your filter runs long enough each day, and brushing your walls at least once a week.

Many homeowners in Pico Rivera find it easier to sign up for ongoing service instead of doing it themselves. Our team handles everything so you never have to worry about algae again. If you ever need help with pool filter cleaning and replacement, we take care of that too. Visit our homepage to see all the ways we can help keep your pool in perfect shape.
