Green pools are not only an eyesore, they can very quickly turn into a dangerous breeding ground for bacteria, disease and the potentially deadly West Nile Virus. In 2005, Maricopa County began prosecuting homeowners with green pools for up to 30 days in jail and up to 0 in fines. Pool water can change from green to dark brown in an astoundingly short time, depending on water temperature. If the water is not professionally treated quickly with a combination of wire-brushing, the addition of powerful algaecides and clarifiers, backwashing and aggressive filtering, the pool will need to be drained and the entire surface chlorine washed. In addition, DE and Cartridge filters will need to be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned.
In most cases, we can turn an uninviting green pool into a sparkling blue oasis within 48 hours.
