Green Pool Recovery in Lakeway, TX

When a Lakeway pool turns green, the limestone well water that defines the 78734 and 78738 zip codes makes recovery trickier than most companies expect. High calcium hardness and alkalinity fight you the whole way — they buffer pH so the calibrated shock you need to hit actual chlorine demand gets blunted before it can finish the kill cycle. The Pool Police has recovered green pools across Hills of Lakeway and Flintrock Falls for over two decades, and our protocol accounts for it: we assess the algae type first, brush every surface to break up the colonies so chlorine can penetrate, then dose shock to the real demand rather than a generic bag-per-10k guess. We run and clean the filter hard through the kill cycle, vacuum the dead algae straight to waste so it leaves the pool entirely, and rebalance the calcium-heavy chemistry for stability. The Lake Travis humidity that accelerated the bloom in the first place is exactly why we include a follow-up visit to confirm the water holds clear. This is a proven multi-step protocol, not shock-and-pray — most Lakeway pools are swimmable in 48 to 72 hours.
