Green to Clean Services in Peoria
Aggressive Shock Treatment
We hit the pool with heavy doses of liquid chlorine to rapidly kill the algae bloom, breaking down the cellular walls of the green, mustard, or black algae.
Phosphate Removal
Algae feeds on phosphates. We use professional-grade phosphate removers to eliminate their food source, ensuring the algae cannot easily return.
Heavy Brushing & Vacuuming
We aggressively brush the walls and floor to expose the algae roots to the chlorine. We then vacuum the dead algae to waste, bypassing your filter.
Flocculant Application
If the water is cloudy with dead algae, we apply a flocculant that binds the microscopic particles together so they sink to the bottom for easy vacuuming.
Equipment Diagnostics
Pools usually turn green because something broke. We diagnose your pump, filter, and salt system to fix the root cause of the algae bloom.
Final Filter Deep Clean
Once the pool is clear, the filter is packed with dead algae. We perform a mandatory deep filter cleaning to restore proper water flow and pressure.
Materials We Work With
Reversing a green pool requires professional-strength chemicals. We use high-concentration liquid sodium hypochlorite (chlorine) to shock the water quickly without adding unwanted cyanuric acid (CYA) that comes with granular shock.
We also utilize commercial-grade algaecides, clarifiers, and phosphate removers that are not available at big-box retail stores. These materials allow us to clear up severe algae blooms in days rather than weeks, getting you back in the water faster.
How a Green to Clean Recovery Works
Initial Assessment & Debris Removal
We arrive, test the water chemistry to understand the severity, and net out the large debris (leaves, branches) from the bottom so the chemicals can work effectively.
Aggressive Chemical Treatment
We adjust the pH and hit the pool with a massive dose of liquid chlorine and algaecide. We heavily brush the walls to break the algae's protective shell.
Vacuuming to Waste
After the algae dies (turning cloudy white or gray), we return to vacuum the dead matter directly out of the pool, bypassing your filter to prevent clogging.
Balancing and Filter Cleaning
Once the water is crystal clear, we perfectly balance the chemistry and perform a deep cleaning of your filter to complete the recovery process.
Warning Signs You Need a Green to Clean Service
- Pea Soup Green WaterIf you cannot see the bottom step of your pool, it is unsafe to swim. The algae bloom is out of control and requires a professional shock treatment.
- Mustard Yellow Dust on the FloorMustard algae looks like sand or pollen on the pool floor, but it clings to the walls when you try to vacuum it. It is highly resistant to normal chlorine levels.
- Black Spots on PlasterBlack algae forms hard, dark nodules that root deep into the plaster. It cannot be killed by shocking alone; it requires aggressive wire brushing and specialized treatments.
- Mosquitoes and Bugs BreedingA stagnant, green pool quickly becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes. This is a health hazard for your family and neighbors and must be resolved immediately.
What's Included
Our green to clean service is a multi-day, comprehensive recovery process. It includes all the heavy chemicals, the manual labor of netting and brushing, vacuuming to waste, and the final deep filter cleaning. We don't just dump chemicals and leave; we return daily until the pool is clear.
Because the severity of a green pool varies wildly (from a light green tint to a black swamp filled with leaves), we provide a free written quote after seeing the pool in person. If the water chemistry is too far gone (e.g., extremely high cyanuric acid), we will honestly advise you if a drain and acid wash is a more cost-effective solution.

Green to Clean FAQ
How long does a green to clean service take?
Most green pools can be turned around in 3 to 5 days. Severe cases (like a swamp pool that has sat for years) may require a full drain and acid wash, which takes a few days longer.
Why did my pool turn green so fast?
Algae blooms rapidly when free chlorine levels drop to zero, often caused by a broken pump, a failed salt cell, high cyanuric acid levels, or a severe dust storm.
Do you need to drain the pool to clean it?
Not always. If the water chemistry is salvageable and the algae hasn't stained the plaster permanently, we can usually kill the algae and filter it out without draining.
Is the water safe to swim in after the treatment?
Once the process is complete, the water is perfectly clear and chemically balanced. We will let you know exactly when it is safe for your family to swim again.
Will my filter need to be cleaned afterward?
Yes. The filter works overtime during a green to clean process, trapping all the dead algae. A deep filter cleaning is a mandatory final step of the recovery process.
How do I prevent my pool from turning green again?
Consistent weekly maintenance, proper chemical balancing, and ensuring your pump runs long enough each day are the keys to prevention. We offer weekly service to keep it clear.
