Green Pools

Green Pools happen when algae starts to bloom and take over your pool, this is the most common reason we are called to Revive a swimming pool.  We can treat a green pool with two different options, deciding to use either option depends on how thick the algae growth has become.  If its still not completely taken over we might be able to clean the pool with a basic Chemical Shock, if its really bad we’ll have to drain and clean the pool with a chlorine wash.

Cloudy Pools

Cloudy Pools can happen when there is a chemical imbalance in your pool.  It can be caused by so many different factors, we’ll list some of them below.

If the chemistry is good and the pool is being properly shocked and treated on a regular basis, then it might be that the pool’s mechanics are at fault.  Many pool owners quickly blame “bad chemicals”, but it is important to note that most of the time environmental and mechanical issues should be ruled out before you skip to chemical issues.  The mechanical and environmental components that can contribute to murky pool water include:

• Improper pump and/or motor size
