Green Pool Treatment & Algae Removal

Why Pools Turn Green

A green pool is nobody's idea of fun. That murky water isn't just unpleasant to look at. It's a sign that algae has taken over. Algae grows when your pool's chemical balance gets out of whack, usually because chlorine levels drop too low or the filtration system isn't working properly.

Here in Diamond Bar, the hot sun and warm weather create perfect conditions for algae growth. Miss a few weeks of maintenance, and you might come home to find your beautiful blue pool has turned into a green swamp. But don't panic. We deal with this all the time, and we know exactly how to fix it.

The good news is that green pools can be saved. With the right treatment and professional care, we can bring your pool back to life. Our Diamond Bar pool restoration experts have restored hundreds of green pools, and yours will be next.

How We Remove Algae and Clear Green Water

Clearing a green pool takes more than just dumping in some chlorine. We follow a proven process that attacks the algae at every level and prevents it from coming back. Here's what we do to restore your pool.

• Remove Debris: We start by skimming out leaves, twigs, and any floating debris
• Brush Everything: Next, we thoroughly brush all surfaces to break up algae colonies
• Shock Treatment: We add powerful oxidizers to kill the algae throughout the pool
• Filter and Circulate: Your pool pump runs continuously to filter out dead algae
• Vacuum to Waste: We vacuum all the settled debris directly out of your pool
• Balance Chemistry: Finally, we adjust pH and alkalinity for perfect water balance

Different Types of Pool Algae

Not all algae is the same. We see three main types in Diamond Bar pools, and each one needs a slightly different approach.

Green algae is the most common. It makes your water look cloudy and green, and it usually floats freely in the water. This type responds well to standard shock treatment and is the easiest to remove.

Yellow or mustard algae looks like pollen or sand on your pool floor. It's more resistant to chlorine and often hides in shaded areas. This type requires stronger chemicals and extra brushing to eliminate completely.

Black algae is the toughest opponent. It forms dark spots that root deeply into plaster and grout. Getting rid of black algae takes aggressive treatment and might require specialized tile and surface cleaning. Whatever type of algae you're dealing with, our team has the experience and tools to handle it.

Keeping Your Pool Algae-Free

Once we clear your pool, you want it to stay that way. Prevention is much easier than treatment. The best defense against algae is consistent maintenance. That means checking chlorine levels regularly, running your filter enough hours each day, and brushing your pool weekly.

Many of our customers switch to our weekly pool cleaning service after we restore their green pool. It's an affordable way to prevent future problems and keep your water sparkling year-round. Regular professional maintenance catches small issues before they become big headaches.
