Has your pool turned green with algae and become unsafe for swimming? At Shark Swimming Pools, we specialize in green pool clean-ups, helping you restore your pool’s water clarity and safety. Whether it’s been weeks since your last maintenance or algae has taken over due to neglect, we can bring your pool back to life with our comprehensive clean-up services.
What Is a Green Pool?
A green pool occurs when algae begins to thrive in your pool due to poor circulation, imbalanced water chemistry, or lack of maintenance. Algae quickly multiply, turning your pool water green, cloudy, and unsafe for swimming. If left untreated, it can also cause long-term damage to your pool surfaces and equipment.
Signs Your Pool Needs a Green Pool Clean-Up
If you’re noticing any of these signs, it’s time for a professional clean-up:
- Green or Murky Water: Algae growth turns the water green and unclear.
- Slippery Pool Walls and Floor: Algae cause pool surfaces to become slimy.
- Cloudy Water: Even after running the pump, the water remains cloudy.
- Unpleasant Smell: Stagnant algae can give off a foul odor.
Our Green Pool Clean-Up Process
At Shark Swimming Pools, our green pool clean-up process is designed to thoroughly eliminate algae and restore your pool to a clean, safe state:
- Initial Inspection: We assess your pool’s condition and test the water to determine pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels.
- Chemical Treatment: We shock the pool with strong algaecides and chlorine to kill the algae and bacteria.
- Brushing & Scrubbing: We scrub the pool walls and floor to remove algae from surfaces.
- Vacuuming: We vacuum out dead algae and debris to prevent it from settling back into the pool.
- Filter Cleaning: We clean or backwash the filter to ensure all algae and contaminants are removed.
- Water Balancing: After the algae is gone, we rebalance the water’s chemistry to prevent future growth.
