How long does it take to clear a green pool?

Most green pools take 3 to 5 days to clear completely, depending on how bad the algae bloom is. Light green pools with early algae growth can sometimes clear in 24 to 48 hours. Very dark green or black pools may take up to a week. We monitor your pool daily and adjust treatment as needed to get the fastest results possible.

Do I need to drain my green pool?

In most cases, no. We can treat and clear your pool without draining it, which saves you time and money. Draining is only necessary if your pool has extremely high levels of dissolved solids, severe structural damage, or other issues beyond algae. Our technicians will assess your pool and let you know if draining is needed, but it is rarely required.

How much does green pool treatment cost?

The cost depends on your pool size and the severity of the algae bloom. Light green pools are less expensive to treat than dark green or black pools because they require less chemicals and labor. We provide free assessments and upfront pricing before we start any work. Contact us at (928) 460-6769 for a quote specific to your pool. Most homeowners are surprised at how affordable professional treatment is compared to buying chemicals and doing it themselves.

Why Your Pool Turned Green

A green pool is more than just an eyesore. It happens when algae takes over your pool water, and it can happen faster than you think. In Prescott, where we get plenty of sunshine and warm weather, algae can bloom in just a few days if your pool chemistry gets out of balance.

Common causes include low chlorine levels, poor circulation, dirty filters, or simply neglecting your pool for a week or two. Maybe you went on vacation, or your pool equipment stopped working. Whatever the reason, we have seen it all and we know exactly how to fix it.

The good news is that a green pool is not ruined. With the right treatment and expertise, we can bring your pool back to sparkling blue. You do not need to drain it or start over. Our professional team at AquaCascade Prescott Pool Services has restored hundreds of green pools throughout Prescott, and yours can be next.

Our Green Pool Treatment Process

We do not just dump chlorine in your pool and hope for the best. Our proven process eliminates algae completely and restores proper water balance so it stays clear. Here is how we do it:

Step 1: Assessment and Testing

We start by testing your water to understand what we are dealing with. We check pH, alkalinity, phosphate levels, and identify the type of algae. Different algae types require different treatments, and we make sure we use the right approach.

Step 2: Shock Treatment and Algae Removal

We apply a powerful shock treatment to kill the algae. This is not regular pool shock. We use commercial-grade products that work fast. We also add algaecide to make sure every last bit of algae is eliminated. Then we brush all surfaces to break up algae colonies.

Step 3: Filter Cleaning and Circulation

Dead algae needs to be filtered out. We clean or backwash your filter and run your circulation system continuously. We may need to clean the filter multiple times during treatment. This step is crucial because a dirty filter cannot clear your water.

Step 4: Water Balancing and Final Cleanup

Once the water is clear, we balance your chemistry perfectly. We vacuum any remaining debris, test everything one more time, and make sure your pool is ready to swim. We also give you tips to prevent it from happening again.
