Green pool cleanup
Green water? We’ll bring it back to blue.
Snap a photo and send it over. We’ll tell you what we see and what it will take — with a free water test — and then weekly service keeps it from happening again.
Signs to watch for
Is your pool past a quick fix?
Florida heat can flip a pool in a matter of days. All it takes is low or off-balance sanitizer, a pump that stopped running, a week of heavy rain or a gap in service. Homes that sat empty before a closing are a classic example. The good news: most pools come back.
- Water tinted green, yellow or brown
- So cloudy you can’t see the drain
- Walls, steps or tile that feel slick or slimy
- Dark spots that return right after brushing
- A pool left alone after a sale, a trip or a stormy stretch
Keep everyone out for now
Green means the sanitizer isn’t keeping up, and cloudy water can hide what’s below. We’ll tell you when it’s safe to swim again.
Please don’t drain it
Florida’s high water table can push an empty pool up out of the ground and crack it. Send a photo first so we can go over the options together.
The recovery
Green to blue, in four stages.
- 01
Photo and water test
Send a picture with your request. We look it over and run a free water test to see exactly what we’re up against.
- 02
Clean out and brush
Debris comes out and every surface is brushed, so the treatment can reach the algae instead of sitting on top of it.
- 03
Treat, filter, repeat
The water is treated based on the test, the pump and filter run hard, and the filter is cleaned when it loads up. We retest until the water is clear and stable.
- 04
Keep it that way
Roll straight into weekly service so it doesn’t turn again. New weekly customers pay $89 for the first month.
Price and timeline
You’ll know the cost before we begin.
No two green pools are alike, so we won’t guess. From your photo we can tell you what we see, what the job involves and roughly how long it will take — then the free water test confirms it. Nothing starts until you approve the price.
Start here
Send us a picture of the pool.
It only takes a minute, and a photo lets us give you a much more accurate estimate.
Send a Photo for a QuoteCleanups are priced individually. If you continue with weekly service afterward, new customers pay $89 for the first month.
How long until my pool is clear again?
It depends how far it has gone. Slightly hazy water often clears in a couple of days; a pool that’s solid green or has dark spots can take a week or longer. Once we’ve seen your photos and tested the water, we’ll give you a realistic timeline.
Can we swim while it’s green or cloudy?
Please don’t. Green water means the sanitizer has lost the battle, and cloudy water can hide what’s underneath. We’ll let you know when the water has been treated, tested and is ready to use again.
Should I drain the pool and start over?
Almost never — and please don’t try. With Florida’s high water table, groundwater can push an empty pool upward and crack it. Send us a photo first so we can talk through the options.
What made my pool turn green?
Usually a mix of low or unbalanced sanitizer, heat, and something that stopped circulation — a pump that quit, a clogged filter, a week of heavy rain or a gap in service. Pools at homes that sat empty before a sale or move are a very common case.
What happens once it’s clear?
You can roll right into weekly service to keep it clear. New weekly customers pay $89 for the first month, with no contract.
What does weekly pool service cost?
Your first month is $89 if you’re a new customer, and it comes with a free starting water test. From the second month on, the weekly rate depends on your pool — its size, whether it’s screened, the equipment and what it needs — and you’ll know that number and agree to it before we start. You can stop at any time; there’s no contract.
Let’s get that water clear.
Send a photo and we’ll tell you what we see — free water test included — then keep it blue.
