GREEN POOL CLEANING

If you’re in need of green pool treatment, SPS PoolCare has the knowledge and experience you need so that you can get back to enjoying your pool all year around. Having a green pool isn’t only unsightly, it’s unhealthy to swim in. Whether your pool has green, black, or yellow algae, it’s important that you schedule an appointment as soon as possible so that you can swim without worry of exposing your family to harmful pathogens.

Call us today and we’ll come out and provide a free “green to clean” estimate based on the size of your pool and the work needed.

WHAT MAKES THE POOL GREEN?

Algae make your pool green, and a chemical imbalance in the water allows the algae to grow. Algae and other microorganisms will have a hard time growing if there is enough free chlorine in the pool. If for some reason the chlorine isn’t at a high enough level, then algae will grow. That’s why shocking your pool with chlorine is part of treatment. Adjusting the levels of other chemicals besides chlorine is also important to maintain a healthy pool.

GREEN POOL SERVICE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS

In certain parts of the Sun Belt, the hot months don’t seem to end, but unfortunately, that’s the type of climate algae blooms will thrive in best. It takes millions of these microscopic organisms to accumulate before you begin to realize you’ve got an algae problem in your pool. Yellow algae is even harder to deal with than green pool water, which is why you should call the experts at SPS PoolCare.

IT’S A SERIOUS HEALTH RISK

Some algae can be hard to spot, which is why hiring a professional pool technician to properly assess, remove, and restore your pool back to its healthy crystal-clear blue water is an essential. If your swimming pool looks green, then it is contaminated and should be thoroughly cleaned because it is considered a health hazard. Blue-green algae, commonly known as black algae, can harbor E. Coli and should be treated as soon as possible.

GREEN POOLS, BE GONE!

There are several ways that algae can be removed from your pool, including:

·   pH & Chlorine Stabilization

·   Algaecides

·   Professional Green Pool Treatment Products

·   Draining & Scrubbing

·   Chlorine Bath

·   Acid Wash (Extreme Circumstances)
