Once-Off "Green to Blue" Recovery

The Dangers of a Green Pool

A green pool is more than just an eyesore; it's a significant health hazard. Algae blooms create the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, bacteria, and other harmful pathogens. Furthermore, severe algae can stain your pool's plaster or fiberglass lining, leading to permanent aesthetic damage if left untreated.

Many homeowners panic and attempt to drain the pool completely. Do not drain your pool! Draining a pool, especially in areas with high water tables, can cause the entire shell to pop out of the ground or cause the plaster to crack and delaminate. Pacific Pools has the expertise to chemically rescue your water without risking structural damage.

Our Proven Recovery Process

Transforming a swamp back into a swimming pool requires patience, commercial-grade chemicals, and heavy filtration. Here is our step-by-step approach:

• Debris Removal: We start by manually scooping out as much organic debris (leaves, branches, bugs) as possible from the floor and surface.
• Intensive Chemical Shock: We adjust the pH to the optimal level and hit the water with a massive dose of professional-grade liquid chlorine and specialized algaecides to kill the bloom instantly.
• Flocculation (If necessary): For extremely cloudy pools, we add a flocculant that binds suspended particles together, causing them to sink to the floor.
• Vacuum to Waste: We manually vacuum the dead algae and sunken debris directly out of the pool (bypassing the filter) to prevent clogging your sand media.
• Filter Deep Clean: Once the water is clear, we perform an intensive backwash and rinse, and inspect the filter sand to ensure it hasn't been compromised by the algae.
• Final Balancing: We re-test and perfectly balance the pH, Alkalinity, and Cyanuric Acid so the pool is safe and ready for swimming.
