GREEN POOL WATER TREATMENT IN WINDERMERE, FL

SERVING WINDERMERE, ORLANDO, AND OTHER NEARBY CITIES IN CENTRAL FLORIDA

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the best way to treat green water in your pool is to use a chlorine shock treatment or algaecide. Chlorine shock treatments are available at most hardware or home improvement stores, and algaecides can be found at pool supply stores. However, properly handling these chemicals and applying them safely to your pool is crucial to avoid injuring yourself or damaging your pool, which is why hiring a professional company like WRX Pool Services is always the best option.

Why Is My SWIMMING Pool Green?​

A pool turns green when algae starts growing in the water. There are several reasons why algae could grow inside your pool, but it is mostly caused by extended exposure to the sun, rain, and other weather conditions. These weather factors influence the pool chemical balance and lead to turning the pool cloudy or green.

How WRX Pool Services FIX A GREEN POOL

When our professionals at WRX Pool Services come to your home, the first thing we will do is test the chlorine levels and pH levels in your pool water. After testing the water, we will add the necessary chemicals to balance out the levels. Once the levels are balanced, we will move on to shocking the pool with chlorine.


If you have a
saltwater pool, we will use a saltwater chlorine generator to shock the pool. This process will help kill any algae and bacteria that are present in the water. Once the water is clear, we will add algaecide to kill algae and prevent algae growth. We then remove dead algae.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO PREVENT YOUR POOL FROM TURNING GREEN AFTER TREATMENT

After your pool has been treated and is no longer green, it is important to take the necessary steps to prevent it from turning green again. Some of the things you can do to prevent this from happening are:

Test the chlorine and pH levels regularly and adjust as needed

Run the filter for at least 8 hours a day

Skim the surface of the pool every day to remove debris

Brush the walls and floor of the pool weekly

Empty the skimmer basket and clean it out regularly

Have your pool professionally cleaned and serviced at least once a month

IF YOUR POOL IS STILL GREEN AFTER TREATMENT, HERE'S WHY

If your pool is still green after treatment, it usually means something is preventing the dead algae from clearing out completely. Here are the most common reasons we see and what typically fixes them:

Filter isn’t catching dead algae: Sand/DE/cartridge systems can clog fast during cleanup. If the filter isn’t cleaned or backwashed often enough, the green tint can linger.


Poor filtration runtime or weak flow: Even with proper chemicals, the pool needs enough run time to filter out fine particles. Low flow can also reduce how quickly water clears.

Not enough filtration and circulation: Dead spots behind steps, benches, and corners allow algae to hang on. Strong filtration and circulation help move debris to the filter.


Algae embedded in corners/steps needs extra brushing: Brushing breaks algae loose so it can be filtered out. Skipping this step can make the pool look like it’s not improving. Keep your pool clean to help prevent any algae problem.

Water chemistry rebounds after rain or heavy use: Florida rain, heat, and swimmer load can throw off balance and reduce sanitizer effectiveness, causing green to return or remain. Regular maintenance will keep the algae away.

GREEN POOL TREATMENT TIMELINE: WHEN IT'S SAFE FOR A POOL PARTY

Green pool cleanup isn’t always “one and done”; the timeline depends on how severe the algae is, your filtration strength, and how well circulation reaches the whole pool. In many cases, improvement starts within a day, but full clarity can take longer if the pool was heavily green or the filter needs extra attention.

If you have a pool party planned, contact us early so we can assess the pool and set realistic expectations based on your equipment and current water condition. Our goal is to get the water looking clear and properly balanced so your pool is ready for clean and safe for swimming as soon as possible.
