Fast, effective algae elimination that restores your pool from swamp to swim-ready.
If your pool looks more like a pond than a place to swim, you're not alone. Green pools happen all the time in San Leandro, especially during our warm summers. Algae loves sunlight, warm water, and poor circulation. When your pool's chemical balance gets off or the filter stops working properly, algae takes over fast.
Here's the thing: a green pool isn't just ugly. It's also unsafe. Algae creates a breeding ground for bacteria, and the slippery surfaces can be dangerous. The good news is that even the greenest pool can be fixed. We've seen pools that look like swamps, and we've brought every single one back to crystal clear water. It just takes the right treatment and a bit of patience.
Getting rid of algae isn't as simple as dumping in some chemicals and hoping for the best. There's a specific process that actually works. Here's how we do it:
The whole process usually takes 3 to 7 days, depending on how bad the algae problem is. Severe cases with black algae might take a bit longer because that stuff is stubborn. But we stay on top of it until your pool is completely clear and safe to swim in again.
Once we've cleared your pool, you obviously don't want the algae coming back. Prevention is actually easier than treatment. The key is consistent maintenance. Your pool needs proper circulation, balanced chemicals, and regular cleaning. That's where our professional pool maintenance in San Leandro makes a real difference.
Most homeowners who struggle with repeat algae problems simply don't have time to test and adjust their water chemistry every few days. It's not your fault. Life is busy. That's exactly why our weekly pool cleaning service exists. We handle the chemistry, brushing, and filter maintenance so algae never gets a chance to take hold.
If your pool equipment isn't working right, that can also cause recurring algae issues. A broken pump or clogged filter means poor water circulation, which creates perfect conditions for algae. Check out our pool equipment repair service if you suspect something isn't running properly.
