GREEN POOL SERVICE

When chemical levels are thrown off, it can cause algae to grow in the pool, turning the pool water green. When this happens, it is necessary to “shock” the water with chemicals in order to kill the algae and return the pool levels back to normal. Water without chemicals, especially if it has an algae problem, is unsafe to swim in, and can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other insects. Typically it only takes a few days for a drastic change. We can make that happen!

WHY DOES MY POOL TURN GREEN?

The warmer the weather, the faster rate pool chemicals are consumed. This can lead to improper chemical balances if not maintained on a regular and frequent basis. In addition to chemical imbalances, warm weather can also cause algae growth, which can then result in your pool turning green if left sitting for a period of time.

HOW DO I CLEAN A GREEN POOL?

If your pool has turned green, it must be “shocked” with chemicals in order to kill the algae and return the pool levels back to normal. Water without chemicals, especially if it has an algae problem, is not safe to swim in, and can be a breeding ground for insects, including mosquitoes.

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO ADD CHEMICALS TO AVOID A GREEN POOL?

The ideal frequency of adding chemicals to your pool to ensure it’s properly maintained is every 1 – 2 weeks. By keeping up with a regular schedule of cleaning your pool and adding chemicals, especially in the warmest months, is extremely important to keep your pool healthy and always ready for a swim.
