Emergency algae treatment and complete water restoration. We connect you with pool pros who specialize in bringing swamp pools back to crystal-clear condition—fast.
Service Areas: We proudly serve Phoenix, Peoria, Glendale, Surprise, and Goodyear throughout Arizona.
You left for a week-long vacation, forgot to add chlorine before a monsoon storm, or your pool equipment failed during the hottest week of summer. Now you're back to find your once-pristine pool has transformed into a murky green swamp.
It's a common Arizona pool emergency. Phoenix's year-round heat, intense UV exposure, and warm water temperatures create the perfect environment for explosive algae growth. When conditions are right, a pool can turn from clear to green in just 48-72 hours.
Desert Blue Pool Care connects you with experienced pool service companies that specialize in green pool cleanup and algae eradication. Our partners understand desert pool chemistry and have the expertise, equipment, and commercial-grade chemicals needed to restore even the worst swamp pools to swim-ready condition.
⚠️ Don't swim in a green pool! Algae can harbor harmful bacteria, and cloudy water makes it impossible to see swimmers in distress. Get professional treatment before using your pool again.
Phoenix and Peoria pools face unique algae challenges that make professional cleanup especially important:
Pool water that stays above 80°F year-round is ideal for algae reproduction. Arizona pools rarely cool down enough to slow algae growth naturally.
Phoenix's 300+ days of sunshine rapidly deplete chlorine. When chlorine levels drop below effective ranges, algae blooms within days.
Desert dust and debris contain phosphates that feed algae. Monsoon storms can dump weeks worth of phosphates into pools overnight.
Arizona's hard water makes it harder for sanitizers to work effectively, giving algae more opportunities to establish.
Pool pro evaluates algae severity, tests water chemistry, and provides upfront pricing for complete cleanup and restoration.
Application of commercial-grade algaecide and shock treatment. Heavy brushing of walls, floor, and steps to break up algae colonies.
Continuous filtration with frequent backwashing or filter cleaning. Dead algae is filtered out as chemicals do their work.
Chemical balancing and daily monitoring until water is clear. Final testing ensures pool is safe for swimming.
Light green pools can clear in 3-5 days. Dark green or black pools may take 7-14 days of treatment. Your pool pro will provide a timeline based on your specific situation.
Costs typically range from $200-600+ depending on pool size, algae severity, and chemical needs. Extremely severe cases requiring draining can cost more. Get upfront pricing from your matched provider.
Light algae problems can sometimes be DIY-treated, but moderate to severe green pools require professional-grade chemicals, proper technique, and careful monitoring. Improper treatment wastes money and time.
Green pools put stress on filters and pumps. Professional cleanup includes equipment inspection and filter maintenance to prevent damage during the cleanup process.
Regular weekly service is the best prevention. Consistent chemical balancing and equipment operation prevent conditions that allow algae to take hold.
