Algae is a very common issue in all pools. Spores invade the water in a multitude of ways—from bathing suits, pool and spa equipment, yard debris, pets, rain, or even just floating through the air. Once these spores find a place to settle that contains the ideal conditions for growth, an algae bloom can happen very soon after. There are many types of algae, but green algae are the most common by far. There are also forms of mustard/yellow, pink, and black algae. With our green to clean pool service in St. Johns County, we can rid your pool of any algae that is preventing you from safely swimming so that you can finally get back to enjoying your pool.
Our Determination Process:
Water Testing: Our green-to-clean pool service process starts with testing your water’s chemical balance to determine the issue and better understand which cleaning service will be the most effective.
Filter Inspection: We will inspect your filter and determine if it needs cleaning or if we need to completely replace the filter. This is a very important step in the process, as all water runs through the filter, so a dirty filter will just result in dirty water no matter what cleaning option we choose.
Equipment Testing and Updates: The interworking of your pool may need to be adjusted so we can move as much dirty water quickly through your clean filter. This promotes good water flow and non-stagnant water.

Our Cleaning Process
Chemical: This is the most common clean up and it consists of treating your pool (possibly multiple times) with different algicides and sanitizers made to kill algae to prevent it from flaring back up in your pool.
Service: In addition to the chemical treatment, we will also thoroughly clean the pool; removing any dirt, debris, algae and other contaminants. We use our own external vacuums and waste pumps rather than your filtration system to do the job as efficiently as possible.
Drain: In most cases, green pool water does not need to be drained and can be treated chemically. In rare instances of unsalvageable water, some draining may be necessary. The fresh water is then balanced so it’s safe for swimming again.

Regular testing and chemical adjustments help prevent algae growth, eliminate contaminants, and maintain a comfortable swimming environment. Proper water chemistry ensures that your pool remains safe, clean, and clear.
Below are the key water chemistry factors we monitor and maintain to achieve optimal pool health.
Free Chlorine – Sanitizes pool water and prevents algae.
pH Levels – Balances acidity to prevent algae growth.
Total Alkalinity – Helps maintain pH balance.
Calcium Hardness – Prevents scaling and clears water.
Cyanuric Acid – Protects chlorine from UV degradation.
Salt Content – Keeps saltwater pools balanced.
