Restored crystal-clear backyard pool after green algae recovery in New Braunfels, Texas Hill Country

Algae blooms take hold in a matter of hours under the hot Texas sun when chlorine levels drop. Our CPO-certified technicians use professional-strength treatments to shock, brush, flocculate, and vacuum away stubborn green, black, or mustard algae — then text you a photo report so you can see exactly how far your water has come.

01

How we bring a green pool back

Our green pool recovery process

We start by testing the water to understand the chemical imbalance, followed by adding heavy doses of chlorine shock and algaecides to kill the live algae spores.

Aggressive brushing & vacuuming to waste

We thoroughly brush the plaster, steps, and tile line to break the algae's protective shell, then use external bypass vacuum systems to remove dead algae directly to waste.

Filter restoration & system checks

Dead algae will quickly clog cartridge or D.E. filters. We chemically clean or backwash your filtration system multiple times during the recovery process to ensure full water flow.

When is a drain and acid wash required?

If the algae bloom is extremely dense and you cannot see the bottom of the pool, draining the water and performing a chlorine or acid wash is often faster and more cost-effective than chemical treatments.

Why New Braunfels pools go green fast

Hill Country summers are brutal on sanitizer — intense UV burns off chlorine in a single afternoon, and one missed week after a Comal County thunderstorm is all it takes for a bloom. Add oak pollen and leaf debris, and a clear pool can turn green overnight. We recover pools across New Braunfels — Gruene, River Chase, Vintage Oaks, Havenwood, and out toward Canyon Lake — and dial in your stabilizer and chlorine so the algae stays gone.

Green pool questions

How long does it take to clear a green pool?expand_more
A light green pool can usually be cleared within 24 to 48 hours. A severely neglected pool with thick algae buildup may take 3 to 5 days to achieve full water clarity.
Why did my pool turn green overnight?expand_more
High summer heat combined with zero sanitizer (chlorine) creates the perfect environment for algae. Pockets of algae spores double in size every few hours once free chlorine is depleted.
Can you clear a green pool without draining it?expand_more
Yes, in many cases we can clear the pool chemically without wasting water. However, if the pool has been green for months and has heavy leaf debris, draining is the safest and most sanitary path.
Is algae harmful to swimmers?expand_more
Yes. Green algae itself is not toxic, but it harbors harmful bacteria (like E. coli) and creates slippery surfaces. You should never swim in a green or cloudy pool.
How do I prevent algae from coming back?expand_more
Maintain consistent free chlorine levels (between 2.0 and 4.0 ppm), run your pool pump at least 8 to 12 hours a day in summer, and chemically clean your filter twice a year.
