Water turns green, cloudy, or dull
Green Pool Cleanup
Green pool cleanup starts with finding why the water turned.
A green pool is usually more than a chlorine problem. Avalon Pools looks at algae load, filtration, circulation, debris, and equipment condition so the cleanup does not turn into a repeat problem.
Symptoms
What homeowners usually notice
Walls and steps feel slick
The pool looks worse after wind, heat, or missed service
Filter pressure climbs quickly
Normal brushing and chemicals are not catching up
Common causes
- Algae growth after low sanitizer, heat, debris, or poor circulation
- Dirty or overloaded filter that cannot clear the water
- Pump or valve problems reducing turnover
- Heavy leaf load, dust, or fine debris overwhelming normal service
What Avalon checks
- Water chemistry, algae level, debris load, and wall condition
- Filter pressure, cleaning needs, circulation, and pump operation
- Whether cleanup needs brushing, vacuuming, filter cleaning, or equipment repair
- Whether the pool is a good fit for ongoing weekly service after recovery
Cleanup or ongoing service?
- A one-time cleanup can work when the pool has a clear cause and working equipment.
- Weekly service is the better answer when the pool keeps turning because debris, filtration, or chemistry is falling behind.
- If equipment is weak, cleanup alone may not hold.

FAQ
Practical answers before the first visit
Can a green pool be cleaned without draining it?
Often, yes. Many green pools can recover with the right chemistry, brushing, filtration, and cleaning process. Severe cases may need a different approach after inspection.
Why did my pool turn green again?
Recurring green water usually means the cause was not fully fixed. Common reasons include poor circulation, dirty filters, heavy debris, low sanitizer, or inconsistent service.
