North Atlanta, GA
Pool Algae Cleaning in Alpharetta, GA
Coming Soon
If your swimming pool has turned cloudy and green, you might be dealing with algae growth. Pool algae can take over quickly in Alpharetta and the greater Atlanta area, especially during warm weather and high humidity. Even with regular skimming and basic pool care, algae spores can spread quickly, causing murky water and slimy pool walls.
In addition to making your water look murky, a green pool can create safety issues and put extra strain on your pool equipment. Algae buildup can cause clogged pool filters, slow pool pumps, and unbalanced water chemistry levels. Through our Green to Clean service, professionals from Net Positive Pools help pool owners across North Atlanta and the surrounding areas get their pools back to clean, clear water without the guesswork.
What Causes a Green Pool?
Algae problems in a pool can come from low chlorine levels, poor circulation, dirty filters, or chemical imbalance. At Net Positive Pools, we start with a full inspection of your pool water, pool walls, pool equipment, and filtration system. Once we understand what is happening in your swimming pool, we begin a proven pool algae cleaning process.
Our Green to Clean Process
At Net Positive, our Green to Clean service usually includes:
- Adding targeted treatments that break down algae spores and active algae bloom activity
- Scrubbing pool walls, steps, and other surfaces with a pool brush to remove stubborn algae
- Pumping and removing debris, dead algae, and contaminated pool water
- Inspecting and cleaning the pool filtration system, pool pump, and other equipment
- Repeating treatments until the water clears and algae growth is controlled
Ready to Clean Your Green Pool?
Many pool owners try quick fixes like pool shock or adding extra chlorine, but algae often comes right back. Green algae is often easy to wipe away at first, but if remaining algae is left behind, the problem starts all over again. Mustard algae and black algae are tougher and can hide in small cracks, porous pool surfaces, pool cleaners, or inside the filtration system.
A pool service professional understands how algae behaves and how it can be stopped at the source. Our technicians take a close look at chlorine levels, water level, chemical levels, pool equipment, and circulation. We also make sure your pool cleaner, filter, and pump are not working against you during treatment. This saves time, reduces repeat chemical purchases, and helps protect your pool long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can algae spread in a swimming pool?
Algae spores can spread very quickly in a pool. When water chemistry is off, an algae bloom can take over in just a few days. North Atlanta’s warm, humid summers create ideal conditions for rapid algae growth.
Can I run my pool pump while the pool is green?
Yes, circulation helps during treatment. If your pool filter is dirty or clogged with debris, water may not move properly. We check the pump and filtration system during service to make sure everything is working together.
Is it safe to swim in a green pool?
A green pool is not safe for swimming. Algae growth can trap bacteria and create health risks, so a pool with algae is unsafe until the water clears and chlorine levels are properly balanced.
Will algae come back after cleaning?
Algae can return if chemical levels and filtration are not maintained. Regular maintenance and weekly pool service can prevent algae from coming back and keep your pool water clear all season long.
Do saltwater pools get algae?
Yes. Saltwater pools still need proper chlorine, pH levels, and filtration. Poor chemical balance can lead to an algae problem just like any other pool. Net Positive’s team services both traditional chlorine pools and saltwater pools throughout the Alpharetta area.
