Green Pool Recovery in Rollingwood, TX

In Rollingwood, a green pool is a reputation problem as much as a chemistry one — this is one square mile of incorporated city where every service decision runs on word of mouth, so the recovery has to be done right the first time. The pools here skew old, 1960s through 1980s builds on 40-plus-year-old plaster, often shaded by the dense live oak and cedar elm canopy that defines the Zilker-edge microclimate. Those shaded spots slow chlorine turnover, and the heavy leaf drop feeds algae phosphates, so blooms take hold quietly. The Pool Police has served Rollingwood since 2000, and our protocol protects those legacy surfaces. We assess the algae type, brush gently but thoroughly to break the colonies without scouring old plaster, then calibrate shock to the actual chlorine demand. We run and clean the filter through the kill cycle, vacuum dead algae to waste so the oak load leaves the pool, and rebalance chemistry with phosphate control so the canopy does not restart the bloom. Many Rollingwood pools still run 1.5-inch plumbing, so we verify real circulation rather than assuming it. It is a proven multi-step protocol, not shock-and-pray — most pools here are swimmable in 48 to 72 hours, follow-up included.
