About Pool Algae Growth

Your pool should be clean and clear, sparkling under the warm Southern California sun. Algae can ruin that image, turning your beautiful swimming pool into a dank, green morass. And it does more than just turn your water green and smelly. Algae and mold can:

  • Invade your filtration system

  • Clog up your filter and pump

  • Make the surfaces of your pool slimy and slick

  • Cause skin irritation

  • Reduce the effectiveness of chlorine, leading to bacterial overgrowth

Most pools will experience algae-related problems, particularly if they’re not professionally maintained. PoolLogic’s expert team can help you prevent it in the first place. If you’re experiencing an algal bloom, we can clean and remove it.

Causes of Algae Growth

Algae is the bane of most pool owners. It’s a disheartening sight to realize that spreading discoloration on the pool wall isn’t your imagination. But what causes it in the first place? Algae growth in pools is usually caused by:

  • Poor filtration

  • Low or inconstant chlorine levels

  • Poor water circulation

  • Out-of-balance water

It’s challenging to prevent algae growth on your own. We can help. Our experts have years of experience diagnosing the underlying cause of algae in your pool, allowing us to not only remove it but prevent it from returning.

Pool Algae Removal Process

Struggling to get rid of pool algae? The simplest solution is to let the pros at PoolLogic handle it. We use advanced cleaning tools and professional-grade chemicals to treat, clean, and remove algae. We can also prevent it from returning.

Removing algae from a pool is a multi-step process. First, algae on the pool’s sides and bottom must be loosened with brushing. Next, shock treatment needs to be administered to raise the chlorine level enough to kill it. The filter must be inspected and deep cleaned, as well.

The pump must run for up to 24 hours depending on the severity of the infestation and the type of algae. Then, your water chemicals must be rebalanced, and the filter cleaned once more. A special vacuum designed for algae can also help remove it from suspension in the pool water.
