Transform your green, murky pool back to crystal clear water with our specialized algae removal service in Buena Park, CA.
A green pool is more than just an eyesore. It's a breeding ground for bacteria and algae that makes the water unsafe to swim in. The green color comes from millions of algae cells that have taken over your pool water.
The good news is that green pools can be fixed. Our green pool treatment service specializes in killing algae and restoring water clarity. We've seen pools in every condition from light green to completely black, and we know exactly how to bring them back.
Most green pools in Buena Park can be restored to swimmable condition within 3 to 7 days depending on severity. We use professional-grade chemicals and proven treatment methods that work faster than DIY approaches. You get your pool back without the trial and error of doing it yourself.
Different algae types require different treatment approaches. Here's what we commonly see:
Our green pool treatment follows a proven multi-step process. We don't just dump chemicals in and hope for the best. Each step builds on the previous one to ensure complete algae elimination.
First, we remove large debris and assess the algae type and severity. This tells us what chemicals and concentrations we'll need. We then brush all pool surfaces aggressively to break up algae colonies and expose them to treatment.
Next comes chemical treatment. We adjust pH levels to optimize algaecide effectiveness, then apply commercial-grade algaecide and shock treatment. The shock oxidizes organic material while the algaecide attacks algae cells directly. For severe cases, we may need to apply treatment multiple times.
We also clean or backwash your filter repeatedly during treatment. As algae dies, it turns white and gets filtered out. A dirty filter can't do this job effectively. We monitor your pool daily during treatment and adjust chemicals as needed. Once water clears, we balance all chemistry parameters and ensure your filter system is working properly to prevent recurrence.
Understanding why pools turn green helps prevent future problems. The main cause is inadequate sanitizer levels. When chlorine drops too low, algae spores that are always present in the water can multiply unchecked.
Poor circulation also contributes. Stagnant water in corners and behind steps creates ideal algae breeding grounds. If your pump isn't running enough hours per day or your filter isn't working properly, you're at higher risk.
Environmental factors matter too. Buena Park's hot summers, combined with periods of heavy wind that deposit debris and pollen, can overwhelm even well-maintained pools. That's why consistent maintenance is crucial. Our weekly cleaning service prevents algae before it starts.
Our local climate creates specific algae risks. Extended heat waves raise water temperature, which accelerates algae growth. Water above 85 degrees is especially prone to algae blooms.
We also deal with frequent Santa Ana wind events that fill pools with organic debris. This debris breaks down and feeds algae. Without prompt removal and proper chemical balance, green water can develop in just days. We've treated hundreds of green pools in Buena Park and know exactly what works in our climate.
