Green Pool Recovery in Steiner Ranch, TX

Steiner Ranch pools turn green for a reason most owners never see coming: the same Ashe juniper and live oak canopy that drops pollen across River Dance, Hawks Canyon, and Marshalls Ridge from December through May loads the water with phosphates, and phosphates are direct algae food. Add a missed week of sanitation during cedar season and a bloom can take over fast. The Pool Police runs a proven multi-step recovery protocol built for exactly this. We start by assessing the algae type — green, mustard, or black — then brush every wall, step, and tile line to break the colonies apart so chlorine can reach them. We calibrate shock to the actual chlorine demand instead of guessing, run the filter continuously and clean it as pressure climbs through the kill cycle, and vacuum the dead algae to waste so the pollen-fed organic load leaves the pool for good. Then we rebalance pH, alkalinity, stabilizer, and calcium and run phosphate-removing chemistry so the next pollen wave does not restart the cycle. It is shock with a plan, not shock-and-pray — most Steiner Ranch pools are swimmable in 48 to 72 hours, with a follow-up visit included.
