- Advice on keeping it clear for good
Why has my pool turned green?
A green pool is algae, and algae takes hold when sanitiser levels drop and the water sits out of balance, especially after hot weather, heavy rain, or a stretch without maintenance. A blocked filter or a pump that's stopped circulating the water speeds it up dramatically.
The good news: once we know why it happened, we can fix it and stop it coming back.
Can a green pool be saved without draining it?
Almost always, yes. Draining is a last resort and rarely necessary, even very green pools can usually be recovered chemically while keeping the water. We assess the pool, treat the algae, get the filtration working properly and rebalance the chemistry.
We'll always tell you honestly if a drain genuinely is the better option, but in the vast majority of cases we get pools clear without it.
How long does green pool recovery take?
It depends how far gone the pool is, but many pools clear up within a few days of proper treatment, with the filter doing a lot of the work once the chemistry is corrected.
Once it's back to clear, we'll check your equipment and set you up with a simple routine, or an ongoing service plan, so it stays that way.
