Algae Pool Cleaning in Charleston, SC

If your swimming pool is turning green, cloudy, or looking more like a pond, you might be dealing with algae. Pool algae can quickly take over, especially in warm and humid climates like Charleston. Algae spores can spread, causing your pool water to turn green, leaving slimy pool walls and stained surfaces. A green pool isn’t just unappealing; it also makes your pool unsafe for swimming and can put unnecessary strain on your pool pump, filtration system, and other equipment.

Green to Clean Pool

Our Green to Clean Process

At Net Positive Pools, we start by evaluating the condition of your pool. Once we identify the issues, we carefully follow a thorough cleaning process to get your pool back to its best shape:

  1. We add specialized chemicals that begin breaking down algae spores and tackle algae blooms.
  2. Our team uses a pool brush to scrub down pool walls, steps, and the pool surface, removing stubborn algae.
  3. We pump out debris, dead algae, and contaminated pool water to prevent further algae growth.
  4. We check your pool filter, pump, and other equipment for proper circulation and clean them to prevent issues.
  5. If necessary, we repeat the treatments until your pool is clean and clear.
  6. Once the water starts to clear, we adjust your pool’s chlorine levels, pH levels, and overall water chemistry.

Although algae can seem easy to deal with using a quick shock treatment or store-bought solution, it’s much more persistent than that. While green algae might appear to clear up initially, it can return within days. More resistant types of algae, such as mustard algae and black algae, can hide deep within porous surfaces and tiny crevices in your pool walls and equipment.

A professional knows exactly how algae behaves and has the right tools to prevent it from coming back. We ensure your pool is treated correctly by assessing your pool water, filtration system, pool cleaner, and other equipment to make sure the algae doesn’t return. With professional algae cleaning services, you save time, reduce chemical purchases, and protect your pool investment.
