Green to Clean Pool Services in Simi Valley – Clear Your Green Pool with SoCal Poolfection

If your pool has turned green, don’t panic SoCal Poolfection is here to help. Our expert green to clean service in Simi Valley is designed to transform your pool from murky and unusable to sparkling, swim-ready water in just a few days. Whether your pool is slightly tinted or completely swampy, we know how to handle even the worst green pool situations.

A green pool isn’t just unattractive it can also be a health hazard. Algae, bacteria, and unbalanced chemicals create unsafe swimming conditions and can damage your equipment over time. Our proven method removes algae, restores water clarity, and gets your pool balanced and clean for worry-free enjoyment.

What Causes a Green Pool?

Most green pools are caused by algae, which thrives when your pool’s water chemistry is off or when circulation and filtration are poor. But not all algae are the same. Understanding the difference can help you treat and prevent future growth.

• Green Algae – The most common and fastest growing. It turns the water green and cloudy, clings to surfaces, and spreads quickly. It’s usually caused by low chlorine levels.

• Yellow Algae – Also known as mustard algae, this appears as yellow or brownish dust. It hides in shaded areas and resists standard chlorine levels.

• Black Algae – The toughest to kill. It looks like black spots and roots deep into plaster. Brushing alone won’t remove it, and it needs aggressive treatment to eliminate.

Step-by-Step Green Pool Clean Up Process

At SoCal Poolfection, we follow a proven, detailed process to clean green pools and prevent the problem from returning. Here’s how we do it:

1. Test and Balance the Water – We begin by testing all chemical levels, especially the pH. It’s important to balance your pH level to 7.6 ppm before adding any chlorine or shock. If the pH is too high or low, chlorine won’t work effectively.

2. Add Chlorine and Shock – Once the pH is balanced, we add the right amount of liquid chlorine or pool shock. This kills active algae and starts the sanitation process.

3. Brush the Entire Pool – Using a stainless steel pool brush, we scrub the walls, steps, and floor thoroughly. Brushing breaks up algae and exposes it to chlorine for better effectiveness.

4. Vacuum the Pool – After brushing, we vacuum the bottom of the pool to remove dead algae and debris. This helps speed up the cleaning process.

5. Check Filtration and Backwash or Clean as Needed:

   • If your pool has a DE filter, we perform a backwash to restore flow and improve suction.

   • If you have a cartridge filter, we inspect and do a filter change if needed to maintain proper circulation.

6. Monitor Water Clarity – Over the next few days, we continue testing and adjusting the chlorine levels as the water clears. We also brush the pool again to remove any lingering algae.

7. Final Filter Clean – Once the water is clear and there are no visible signs of algae, it’s time for a deep filter cleaning to remove all trapped contaminants.

8. Check for Phosphates – If your pool has a history of phosphates, we test the water and treat it with phosphate remover before the final filter clean. Phosphates are a food source for algae and should be eliminated to prevent future growth.

9. Test Conditioner Levels – Finally, we test the pool’s conditioner (also called cyanuric acid). If the level is low after the filter clean, we add the right amount to bring it to the ideal range of 55–70 ppm. Conditioner helps protect chlorine from being destroyed by the sun.

Why Green Pools Need Professional Treatment

Cleaning a green pool isn’t as simple as dumping in some shock and hoping for the best. Without the right balance of chemistry, circulation, and technique, you can waste time and money without real results. Improper treatment may even make the algae problem worse.

At SoCal Poolfection, our green to clean service is backed by years of experience, top-tier equipment, and a deep understanding of pool water chemistry. We tailor every treatment based on your pool’s unique needs and stay involved until your water is crystal clear.

Green Pool Prevention Tips

Once your pool is clean and clear again, we’ll help you keep it that way. Here are a few tips to prevent algae from coming back:

• Maintain Weekly Pool Service – Routine brushing, water testing, and chemical balancing help prevent future issues.

• Run Your Pump Daily – Circulation is key to preventing algae. Make sure your pump runs long enough each day.

• Keep Chlorine in Range – Use test strips or a test kit to ensure your chlorine is always at safe, effective levels.

• Check Conditioner (CYA) Often – If it’s too low, chlorine will burn off quickly. If it’s too high, chlorine becomes less effective.

• Watch for Phosphates – They feed algae. Test and treat as needed.

Our weekly pool service helps ensure your pool stays algae-free by staying on top of these tasks for you.
