Green to clean
Came back from a month up north to a swamp. They had it clear in four days and wrote down why it turned: the timer had been knocked down to four hours a day. It has not happened since.

Green pool cleanup in Winter Park
We clear it, then find the reason it went green: usually stabilizer, phosphate or filter run time.
Signs you need it
When to call about green pool cleanup
Green or cloudy water
You can’t see the main drain from the deck.
It came back after shocking
Shock without a cause just buys a week.
You’ve been away

How we do it
The honest version of green pool cleanup
Why it went green
Almost always one of four things: the stabilizer is so high that chlorine can’t work, the filter isn’t actually filtering, the pump isn’t running long enough, or nobody tested it for a month. Shocking a pool with 120 ppm of stabilizer is money poured in the deep end.
What the process actually is
Test, then balance, then chlorinate to the level the stabilizer reading requires, then filter continuously and clean the filter as the pressure climbs, usually more than once. Brushing does more than most people expect.
The honest limit
Some pools need a partial drain because the chemistry can’t be corrected by adding anything. We’ll say so on day one rather than selling chemicals into a pool that can’t use them.
Step by step
What happens on the visit
Test first
All six readings, before anything goes in.
Balance and chlorinate
To the level the stabilizer reading needs.
Filter and brush
Continuously, cleaning the filter as the pressure climbs.
Write down why
The cause goes on the report, with how to stop it.
What it costs
What decides the price
No surprise lines. Every job is quoted in writing, and nothing is done until you reply.
What we look at
- How far it has gone: cloudy, green or dark
- The size of the pool
- The stabilizer level (a partial drain changes the job)
- The state of the filter
How you’re quoted
In writing, with the reading or the pressure that made us recommend it. Approve all of it, some of it, or none of it.
Quoted in writing after the first test, before any chemicals go in.

Weekly service
Luis has been on our pool every Thursday for two years. The report is on my phone before his truck is out of the driveway, and I finally understand why the chlorine kept vanishing: stabilizer was at 90. They told me to drain a foot instead of selling me more shock.

Straight answers
Green pool cleanup: questions
Can you fix a green pool, or does it need draining?
Usually it can be brought back. Sometimes it can’t, because the chemistry has gone somewhere adding things won’t fix. You’ll be told which on the first visit, before you’ve spent anything.
How long does it take to clear?
Most green pools are swimmable in three to five days if the filter is sound. A pool that needs a partial drain first takes longer, and you’ll know that on day one.
Why did my pool turn green?
Usually high stabilizer, a filter that isn’t filtering, too little pump run time, or a few weeks without testing. We find which and write it on the report.
Will it happen again?
Not if the cause is fixed. That’s why the cause goes on the report, not just the chemicals we added.
