Green Pool Clean
A Green Pool Clean is essential to restore the aesthetic and hygiene quality of your swimming pool, making is safe and enjoyable for swimming again!
What is a Green Pool Clean?
A Green Pool Clean refers to the process of cleaning and restoring a pool that has turned green due to algae growth. This can happen when the pool’s chemical balance is disrupted, allowing algae to flourish.
What to Expect During Your Green Pool Clean
Assessment
The pool technician will assess the severity of the algae problem, check the chemical levels, and inspect the pool equipment.
Chemical Treatment / Shock Treatment / Algaecide
The pool will be "shocked" with a high dose of chlorine or other sanitizers to kill the algae. This might involve using multiple treatments depending on the severity of the algae bloom. An algaecide may be added to assist in killing the algae and prevent future growth.
Cleaning / Brushing / Vacuuming
The pool walls and floor will be thoroughly brushed to remove algae from surfaces. A vacuum will be used to remove dead algae and debris from the pool floor. In severe cases, a professional-grade vacuum may be needed.
Filter Cleaning
The pool's filter will be cleaned or backwashed multiple times to remove dead algae and other contaminants. The pool filter will be run continuously during the cleaning process to clear the water of dead algae and particles.
Water Testing + Balancing
The water will be tested to check the levels of chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and other chemicals. Chemicals will be added to bring the water back to the correct balance. This includes adjusting pH, alkalinity, and stabilizer levels.
Maintenance Plan / Preventative Measures
After the initial cleaning, the pool technician will likely schedule follow-up visits to ensure the water remains balanced and the algae do not return. Advice and a maintenance plan will be provided to prevent future algae growth, such as maintaining proper chemical levels, regular cleaning, and ensuring good circulation.
