LoadingFrom swamp to swimmable. Usually in about a week — and we'll tell you honestly if it'll take longer.
A green pool isn't a moral failing — in Florida it can happen in a single hot week with a dead pump, a vacation, or one missed chlorine check. The fix isn't a magic chemical; it's a correct sequence: kill the algae, get the dead algae out, and rebalance the water so it doesn't come right back.
We quote green-to-clean recoveries flat after seeing the pool, tell you honestly how many visits it will take, and photo-document the whole recovery so you can watch it come back.
Light green, dark green, or black-lagoon are different jobs. We look at the pool, test what the water needs, and give you one flat price and a realistic visit count.
Aggressive brushing plus shock dosed for your actual water volume and stabilizer level. Then repeated vacuum-and-filter cycles to physically remove the dead algae — the step most DIY recoveries miss.
Once it's clear, we balance everything, clean the filter so it isn't harboring leftovers, and set you up (ideally on weekly service) so this never happens again.
