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 service pools in Jollyville (78759)?

Yes. Jollyville has been one of our consistent weekly service areas since 2000. We run an established route through the 78759 zip code covering Jollyville proper, Balcones Village, and the neighborhoods around the Arboretum and Great Hills edge.

My Jollyville pool has original 1980s Jandy equipment — can you still service it?

Yes. We work on original Jandy, Compool, first-generation Pentair, and even some still-running Purex equipment regularly. For parts that are no longer manufactured, we know the modern equivalents that fit without requiring a full equipment-pad rebuild. We'll tell you honestly when a repair makes sense and when a targeted upgrade is the better long-term play.

Is my water from Austin Water or a well?

Depends on the specific street. Jollyville has a mix — most homes are on Austin Water, but some older streets still have well-water properties. We test chemistry on every visit and know which streets have which water source, so our weekly treatment is calibrated to what your specific pool actually contains.
