Cleaning
Green Pool Treatment
One missed week in a humid Houston August can turn crystal water swamp green. Algae spores thrive in warm, sunny, rain diluted water, and once they bloom, more chlorine alone rarely wins. Our green to clean program shocks, brushes, filters and follows up until the water is safe, blue and ready again.
Problems we solve
Swamp green water
A full algae bloom you cannot see the bottom through.
Mustard algae on walls
Yellow patches in shaded areas that keep coming back.
Black algae spots
Rooted algae in plaster that needs aggressive brushing.
Foreclosure or neglected pools
Pools left untreated for months on newly purchased homes.
Post storm blooms
Rain and debris after a tropical storm can trigger a fast bloom.
What is included
- Debris removal and initial vacuum
- Heavy shock and algaecide treatment
- Aggressive brushing of walls and floor
- Multiple filter cleanings during recovery
- Follow up visits until water clears
- Final balance and prevention plan
How it works
- 1
Assess the bloom
We check algae type, water chemistry and filter condition.
- 2
Shock and brush
We hit the algae hard and break it off every surface.
- 3
Filter and repeat
Dead algae is filtered out, with filter cleans between visits.
- 4
Clear and protect
Once clear, we balance and set you up to keep it that way.
What affects the price
Every pool is different, so we quote after a quick look. These are the main things that move the number.
- How green it is
- Light green clears faster than a black lagoon.
- Pool size
- More water needs more shock and more filtration time.
- Filter condition
- A failing filter slows recovery and may need service.
- Debris load
- Leaves and sludge on the floor add cleanup time.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to clear a green pool?
Most pools clear in three to five days. Severely neglected pools can take a week or more.
Why did my pool turn green so fast?
Warm water, sunlight and rain diluting your chlorine create perfect algae conditions, especially in Gulf Coast summers.
Can I swim during treatment?
Not until chlorine levels drop back to safe range and the water is clear. We will tell you when it is ready.
Will algae leave stains?
Sometimes. Light shadows usually fade, while heavy staining may need an acid wash later.
How do I keep it from happening again?
Consistent weekly chemistry and filter care is the best prevention, which is why many customers switch to weekly service after.
