What we do

From green to swimmable.

A green pool is usually a filter, circulation and chemistry problem at once. We fix all three.

  • Debris removal

    Leaves and sludge pulled out first, so the chemicals go to work on the algae.

  • Shock & treat

    Water tested, then shocked and treated to kill the algae.

  • Brushing

    Walls, steps and floor brushed so dead algae comes loose and gets filtered out.

  • Filter cleaning

    A green pool clogs the filter fast. We clean it, as often as the cleanup needs.

  • Equipment check

    We check the pump and filter for whatever let the algae take over.

  • Weekly service after

    Once it’s clear, weekly service and the Crystal Clear Guarantee keep it that way.

PHOTO NEEDED — green pool before cleanup

Is your pool past a quick fix?

Call us if you see any of these:

  • Green or dark water where you can’t see the floor.
  • Slimy walls and steps.
  • The pool sat for weeks with the pump off or broken.
  • Shock from the store turned it cloudy, not clear.

How it works

Good to know

Straight answers, before you call.

When it needs an acid wash

If algae has stained the plaster after the water is clear, an acid wash takes the stains off. We’ll tell you if it’s needed. Most pools don’t.

Green-to-Clean Recovery FAQ

How long does a green pool take to clear?

It depends on how green it is and how the equipment is doing. We’ll give you an honest estimate when we see it.

Do I have to drain the pool?

Usually not. Most green pools clear with cleaning, treatment and filtration. Draining is only for extreme cases.

Why did my pool turn green?

Usually low chlorine, a dirty filter or a pump that isn’t running long enough. Our West Texas heat makes algae grow fast.
