How long does it take to clear a green pool?
It depends on severity, but many pools clear within a few days of treatment. Light green water often clears in 24 to 48 hours, while darker, swampy green can take three to seven days, and Naples heat speeds up algae growth, so pools that sat longer take a bit more time to recover.
Do I need to drain my pool if it’s green?
Rarely. Most green pools recover without draining, through a shock, filter, and vacuum process instead. A heavy shock can kill living algae within about a day, but the dead algae still needs time to filter out, so full clarity takes longer than the water changing color.
Why did my pool turn green so fast?
Naples heat and rain speed up algae growth compared to most regions. A single missed week of chlorine can be enough to tip a pool green here.
Do you offer ongoing service after cleanup?
Yes, we can transition your pool to a weekly maintenance plan. That's what keeps a Naples pool from sliding back into the same problem.
Can a green pool damage my equipment?
Yes, algae can clog filters and strain pumps if left untreated. Getting to it quickly limits how much strain your equipment takes on.
Do you service vinyl liner or above-ground pools for cleanup?
No, in-ground concrete pools only. Our green-to-clean process is built specifically around concrete pool surfaces.
