Green To Clean

If chemical levels become unbalanced, algae can grow in the pool, turning the water green. To address this, you need to shock the water with chemicals to kill the algae and restore balance. Swimming in water with no chemicals, especially if contaminated by algae, is unsafe and can attract insects like mosquitoes. Let us handle the hard work, and you'll see results within just a few days!

WAVE offers green pool cleaning services over three to five visits within a week. The process and time required may vary slightly based on the pool's condition, the type of algae, and the water's response to treatment.

Green Algae Prevention

Green pool water is primarily caused by insufficient chlorination. Here are some preventive measures:

Maintain Chlorine Levels: Regularly test and adjust chlorine levels to prevent algae growth.
Improve Water Circulation: Ensure your pool pump and filtration system are working efficiently to circulate water properly.
Remove Organic Matter: Keep the pool free from leaves and other organic debris that can contribute to algae growth.

Causes of Green Pool Water

Low Chlorine Levels: Insufficient chlorine leads to algae growth.
Pollen: Pollen can turn the water green, especially during peak pollen seasons.
Metal Contamination: Metals like copper can tint the water green. These metals can come from various sources, including pool equipment and chemicals.

When to Drain Your Pool

Draining your pool should be a last resort. Typically, pools need to be drained and refilled every 5-7 years or for major repairs. Avoid draining unless absolutely necessary, as it can be costly and time-consuming.

Understanding Algae Types

Mustard Algae: Light brownish-yellow, usually found in shady areas with poor circulation. It can resist chlorine and shock treatment.
Green Algae: Common and fast-growing, usually found in areas with poor circulation.
Black Algae: Resistant to chlorine, clings to walls and floors, and is hard to remove. Typically found in concrete and gunite pools

Additional Tips

Regular Inspection: Keep an eye on your pool's condition and address any issues promptly.
Professional Help: Don't hesitate to consult a pool professional for advice or service, especially if you encounter persistent problems.
