Why Does a 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 You Clean a Green Pool?
If your pool has turned green, it is necessary to “shock” the pool 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 not safe to swim in, and can be a breeding ground for insects, including mosquitoes. Pool Doctor is well-versed in taking pools from green to clean, so leave it to the professionals if you’re unsure of the best way to get your pool sparkling again.
The Green to Clean Process.
Our Green-to-Clean service is generally performed in a series of 3 to 5 visits over a week period. The process and time needed vary somewhat based on the individual pool’s condition, types of algae, and the pool’s response to treatment during the service. The average service timeline varies based on several factors.
INITIAL VISIT INCLUDES:
Overview
We offer Weekly Bi-weekly & Monthly Cleaning
We test the pool for three (3) chemical readings. They include the following:
- We test the pool to determine the pool chemistry levels
- We brush all pool surfaces including but not limited to walls, steps, floors, and any nooks in or around the pool.
- We then perform a backwash and rinse. Depending upon the level of algae and other factors, additional backwash cycles may be needed.
- Based upon the results of the pool chemistry testing, the appropriate chemicals and their respective quantities are added to the pool. This also includes, if necessary, chlorine tablets to the chlorinator.
- Finally, a second round of pool brushing to all surfaces is performed along with skimmer basket cleaning, a final netting of the pool surface and bottom, if needed.
- A final walk-around is performed with pictures taken of the pool and spa.
