No, a green pool is not safe to swim in. Algae-contaminated water can cause skin irritation and eye discomfort, and the water must be cleared and retested before anyone enters.

Green water is almost always caused by algae growth triggered by low chlorine levels, poor circulation, or debris buildup. In Pasadena, Santa Ana wind events can push large amounts of organic debris into a pool, which speeds up algae blooms.

Yes, we recover pools at all stages of algae contamination, including pools where the floor is not visible from the surface. We adjust the shock dose and filtration approach based on how severe the bloom is.

A pool often stays green or turns green again when pH was too high for the shock to work, the filter was not cleaned during treatment, or the chlorine dose was too low for the severity of the bloom. A professional assessment finds the specific cause.

Yes, filter cleaning and backwashing are part of our recovery process. Dead algae clogs the filter quickly, and a dirty filter prevents the water from clearing even after proper shock treatment.

The pool is ready when the water is visibly clear and chlorine has returned to a normal, safe range confirmed by water testing. Poolside Professionals retest the water at the end of the recovery process before clearing the pool for use.
