Green Pool Cleaning Before and After

Why is my pool turning green and why do I have to drain it?

In most cases where pools are turning green:

  1. You have water older than 5 years.
  2. The pool water has an extremely high TDS (which means there are so many dissolved solids in the water).
  3. The nitrate levels in your pool are extremely high. Nitrates are caused by rotting leaves in your pool and come from rainwater. Have you ever noticed after a hard rain your pool starts greening up again? That is because of the nitrates in the rainwater. The only way you can get rid of nitrates is to drain the pool.
  4. Your CYA or cyanuric acid level is over 150. CYA is the chemical in your pool to hold free chlorine so the sun and heat don’t burn it off. Once your CYA reaches 150 ppm or over, it starts to lock up your free chlorine and doesn’t allow it to do its job.
  5. You’re not running your pump long enough. Your pool pump should run long enough in the summer months to circulate your pool water completely once. If you only let your pump run a few hours in the summer, you are not circulating all your water.

Black Algae Pool Treatment

Take Care of It Now Before It Gets Way Worse

Pools with black algae need to have the surface power washed to remove all the black algae before doing a chlorine wash. Black algae have roots that grow into the cream coat of Pebble Tec and plaster and can’t be entirely removed. Once a black algae treatment has been done, it is important to change or clean your cartridge filters, sand, or DE grids. Additionally, proper pool chemistry needs to be diligently maintained. Black algae can come back, as you can never completely get rid of it since it grows roots into the surface of your pool.

What Our Clients Say

Randolph M.

"Had the (usual) calcium carbonate "ring around the pool." Tried acid, scrubbing, even chipping. Never budged. Doc arrived 5 minutes before our appointment time, and got right to work. Jaw-dropping results with ZERO damage to anything! He uses Epsom salts as an abrasive (non-toxic and doesn't leave a mess!) I couldn't have been more pleased. Pool now looks incredible. Solid value here - would recommend 110%!"

Ryan W.

"Doc's did an excellent job cleaning my pool tile. I also requested that the pool be fully drained and the quote for both services was very reasonable. The pool tile looks amazing. Even better, the crew lead by Bubba was professional, efficient, courteous and knowledgeable as they did the job. I am extremely satisfied and would certainly recommend this company!"

Phil C.

"These guys are incredible. I bought a house with a 30 plus year old pool. The calcium was so thick I couldn't see the top 4 inches of my pool tile. I called Docs and they gave me the best price and their service was amazing. They showed up on time and got right to work. My tile looks like brand new. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get their tile clean. Thanks so much for the amazing job."
