Green Pool Recovery in Rough Hollow, TX

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.

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.

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.

Yes. Rough Hollow and the broader Lake Travis luxury market is where we've built the most experience with vanishing-edge catch basins, integrated spa circulation, PebbleTec and glass tile care, and multi-zone automation systems. These pools require meaningfully different cleaning techniques than a standard plaster rectangle, and our weekly service protocol accounts for every difference.

Rough Hollow well-water properties commonly test calcium hardness in the 450–600+ ppm range, among the highest in the Austin metro. Without active management, that calcium precipitates as white scale on tile, inside heaters, on salt cells, and on vanishing-edge weirs. Our weekly service uses sequestrant chemistry and precise pH control to keep calcium in solution rather than letting it deposit.

Yes. Many Rough Hollow pools sit on steep hillside or cliffside lots with equipment tucked into tight elevated pads. Our techs carry tools in rather than rolling carts and are used to working in these constrained spaces. We'll coordinate access with you and any gate systems before starting service.
