Green Pool Cleanup In Charlotte, NC
Algae removal, shock treatment, and filtration recovery to turn swampy green water back into clear, swimmable blue by an insured, owner-operated pool team.
Green Pool Recovery
A green pool means algae have taken over. We assess the severity, treat the water to kill the algae, remove the dead growth, and run the filtration system until the water clears. Every pool is different, so we tailor the approach to what we find.
Shock And Algaecide Treatment
We raise the chlorine level with a heavy shock dose and apply algaecide or flocculant as needed to kill the algae and start dropping it out of the water column.
Dead Algae Vacuuming
Once the algae is killed it settles to the floor. We vacuum that debris to waste so it does not recirculate back into the pool through the filter system.
Filtration Recovery
We run the pump and clean the filter repeatedly as it loads up with dead algae. Keeping the filter clear is what pulls the remaining cloudiness out of the water.
Water Rebalancing
After the algae is gone we rebalance the chemistry and sanitizer levels so the water stays clear and healthy going forward instead of turning green again.
Our Cleanup Process
We assess the pool, treat the algae, remove the dead growth, and rebalance the water until it is clear and sanitary again.
Assess The Pool
We look at the water color, test the chemistry, and check the filtration system to see how bad the algae growth is and what it will take to clear it.
Shock And Treat
We apply a heavy shock dose and algaecide or flocculant to kill the algae and start dropping it out of the water so the filter and vacuum can remove it.
Vacuum And Filter
We vacuum the settled dead algae to waste and keep the filter running and clean until the remaining cloudiness clears out of the water.
Rebalance And Stabilize
We bring the chemistry and sanitizer back to healthy levels so the water stays clear. We can discuss weekly service to keep it from turning green again.

What causes a pool to turn green?
Algae growth is the main cause. When chlorine levels drop too low, sanitizer is insufficient, or water balance drifts, algae multiply quickly and turn the water green or cloudy. Warm weather, heavy rain, and debris buildup can all contribute.
How long does a green pool cleanup take?
Every green pool is different. The severity of the algae, water volume, filtration system, and weather all affect how quickly the water clears. We assess your pool and give you a realistic expectation, but we do not promise a fixed turnaround time.
Can you save a pool without draining it?
In most cases yes. We use shock treatment, algaecide or flocculant, and aggressive filtration to clear the water without draining. If the pool needs draining for a separate reason, we will discuss that with you first.
What does the cleanup include?
We shock the water to kill the algae, treat it with algaecide or flocculant as needed, vacuum dead algae and debris to waste, clean the filter repeatedly as it loads up, and rebalance the water chemistry until the pool is clear and sanitary.
Will the algae come back after the cleanup?
Proper water balancing and sanitation after the cleanup helps prevent algae from returning. We bring the water back to healthy levels and can discuss ongoing weekly service to keep it that way.
