Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal
Fast and effective restoration of green, cloudy pools.
Why Pools Turn Green and What It Means
A green pool is not just ugly. It is a sign that algae has taken over your water. This happens faster than most people think, especially here in Victorville where our hot, sunny weather creates perfect conditions for algae growth. Maybe you went on vacation, forgot to add chemicals, or your pool equipment stopped working. Whatever the reason, you are left with water that looks more like a swamp than a swimming pool.
The good news? We specialize in bringing green pools back to life. Our Victorville pool cleaning experts have transformed hundreds of green pools into crystal-clear swimming spots. We know exactly what it takes to eliminate algae and restore your pool to perfect condition.
How We Restore Green Pools
Getting rid of algae takes more than just throwing in some shock treatment and hoping for the best. We follow a proven process that attacks the problem from multiple angles:
- Test water chemistry to understand the extent of the problem
- Remove large debris and visible algae buildup
- Brush all pool surfaces to break up algae colonies
- Apply targeted chemical treatment to kill remaining algae
- Run filtration system continuously to clear dead algae
- Vacuum out settled debris and algae particles
- Balance water chemistry for long-term clarity
- Provide maintenance tips to prevent future green water
This systematic approach ensures we eliminate algae completely, not just temporarily. We do not cut corners or rush the process. Your pool deserves to be done right the first time.
Different Types of Algae We Treat
Not all green pools are created equal. The type of algae in your pool determines how we treat it. Green algae is the most common and easiest to remove. Yellow or mustard algae is more stubborn and requires specific chemicals. Black algae is the toughest, with roots that dig into plaster and require aggressive brushing and treatment.
Our technicians can identify which type you have and use the right treatment method. We have dealt with every algae variety in the Victorville area. From pools that sat empty all winter to those affected by equipment failure during our brutal summer heat, we have seen and solved it all.
The Victorville Climate Factor
Living in the High Desert means dealing with intense sun and high temperatures. These conditions speed up algae growth dramatically. A pool can turn from clear to green in just a few days if the chemistry is off. Wind also blows in dust and debris that feed algae. That is why regular maintenance matters so much here, and why our weekly cleaning service is so popular with Victorville homeowners.
How Long Does Treatment Take
The timeline depends on how bad your algae problem is. Light green water might clear up in 2 to 3 days. Darker green or black algae can take a week or more. We will give you an honest assessment when we see your pool. Most importantly, we will keep you updated throughout the process so you know exactly what to expect.
During treatment, your pool will gradually transform. The water will go from green to cloudy blue-green, then to cloudy blue, and finally to crystal clear. It is pretty amazing to watch. Once we are done, you will have a pool that looks brand new and is safe for swimming. If you need additional services like filter cleaning, we can handle that too.
