Pool Algae Cleaning in Raleigh, NC

If your swimming pool water has turned green or your pool walls feel slimy, you are most likely dealing with algae growth. Even with regular skimming and standard upkeep, algae spores can move into your pool fast and take hold before you notice. A green pool can clog your pool filter, slow down your pool pump, and put extra strain on the rest of your equipment.

Our Green to Clean Process

Algae growth can be caused by many different factors, such as low chlorine levels, poor circulation, dirty filters, or water chemistry imbalances. 

Our pool algae cleaning includes:

  • Targeted Chemical Treatments
  • Scrubbing of Pool Walls and Surfaces
  • Removal of Debris and Dead Algae
  • Inspecting and Cleaning Pool Equipment
  • Balancing Water Chemistry
  • Repeat Treatments if Needed

 

Green to Clean Pool

Ready to Clean Your Green Pool?

A lot of pool owners try to handle algae with a quick fix like a shock treatment. That can look like it worked at first, but if any algae was left behind, those algae spores come right back. Mustard algae and black algae are especially tough, hiding in small cracks, porous surfaces, and inside the filtration system. 

At Net Positive Pools, our pros know how algae behaves and how to stop it at the source. We check your pool equipment, pool water, and chemical levels to track down every cause of the algae problem. We also make sure your pool cleaner, pool pump, and filter are all working during the treatment process.

Algae Prevention and Long-Term Pool Care

Clearing an algae infestation is one thing; keeping it gone is another. After your pool is clean, algae prevention comes down to steady habits and the right algae control plan. We recommend regular maintenance and a weekly dose of the right pool chemicals to keep algae from coming back. Our weekly pool service handles the brushing, testing, and balancing for you, so you can stop worrying about it and just enjoy the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can algae spread in a swimming pool?

Fast. When chlorine levels drop or the water chemistry slips, you can go from clear water to a full algae bloom in just a few days.

Can I run my pool pump while the pool is being treated?

Yes. Running your pool pump helps circulate the water and makes the treatment work better. If the pool filter is clogged, though, it may struggle, so we check the equipment during the service.

Is it safe to swim in a green pool?

No. Algae growth can trap harmful bacteria and create health risks, so the pool needs to be cleaned and treated before anyone swims again.

Will algae come back after cleaning?

It can, if your chemical levels and filtration system are not kept up. To keep your pool clear, we recommend regular maintenance and weekly pool service to head off future algae issues.

Do saltwater pools get algae?

Yes. Saltwater pools still see algae growth when chlorine levels, pH, and filtration are off. Like traditional pools, they need proper maintenance to stay algae-free.
