What's Included

What We Do

Assess algae type and severity — green, mustard, or black — to choose the right attack plan
Brush every surface to break up algae colonies so chemicals can penetrate
Apply targeted shock treatment calibrated to the actual chlorine demand, not a guess
Run the filter continuously and backwash or clean elements as pressure rises during the kill cycle
Vacuum dead algae to waste so it leaves the pool entirely instead of recirculating
Rebalance all chemistry — pH, alkalinity, stabilizer, and calcium — for long-term stability

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to clear a green pool?

Most green pools in the Austin area are swimmable within 48 to 72 hours. Severe cases — especially pools that have been neglected for months — may take up to a week if the filter media needs replacement and multiple rounds of vacuuming are required.

Why did my pool turn green?

Algae blooms happen when sanitizer levels drop below effective range, usually due to a pump failure, a chemical imbalance, or heavy organic debris after a storm. Austin's heat accelerates algae growth dramatically — a pool can go from slightly cloudy to full green in 24 to 48 hours during summer.

Can I swim in a green pool?

No. A green pool harbors bacteria, parasites, and high levels of organic contaminants. It's not safe to swim in until the water has been properly treated, filtered, and tested. We'll confirm the water is safe before giving you the all-clear.

Do you have experience with infinity-edge and vanishing-edge pools?

Yes. Vanishing-edge pools require careful attention to the catch basin, auto-fill system, and chemical balance across two bodies of water. We service several infinity-edge pools in Spanish Oaks and Falconhead and understand the additional maintenance they demand.

Can you maintain my pool's pebble or glass tile finish?

Absolutely. Premium finishes like PebbleTec, PebbleSheen, and glass mosaic tile require pH-aware brushing techniques and chemical balance that prevents etching or calcium haze. Our cleaning approach is calibrated to protect these surfaces, not just scrub them.
