Common Pool Algae Problems & How We Solve Them

Green, yellow, and black algae can quickly turn your pool into an unsightly mess, if left untreated.

 

Types of Pool Algae & How We Remove Them

✅ Green Algae: The most common type, making water murky. We treat it with shock, brushing, and chemical balancing.
✅ Yellow (Mustard) Algae: Sticks to pool walls and requires specialized algaecides and deep cleaning.
✅ Black Algae: The toughest type, growing deep into surfaces. We scrub, shock, and apply long-lasting treatments to prevent regrowth.

How to Prevent Pool Algae

  • Regular pool maintenance (weekly service prevents algae growth)
  • Proper chemical balancing (pH, chlorine, and sanitizer levels)
  • Good circulation & filtration (ensuring pumps and filters work efficiently)
  • Professional cleaning & inspections (detecting algae before it spreads)

Green pool Clean up

Pool Algae Clean-Up and Green Pool Clean-Up

 The best way to handle algae is to NOT let it get started in the first place by having a weekly service account. Due to the warmth in Yuma and general good conditions for algae that exist here, it's very easy for your your pool to green up. There are few things better to rid a pool of algae than regular professional cleaning and maintenance. Algae destroys pool surfaces, so it's best NOT to let it take over. Algae populations will double in size every 24 hours in the right conditions, so a tiny spot of green or black can get out of hand in a matter of days.

If you have algae;

  1. Get a 10 point NSF water test.
  2. Shock the pool with 20 to 50 ppm Chlorine if test warrants
  3. Brush down the sides and bottom of the pool to release anchored algae.
  4. Clean the pool filter
  5. Run the pump for 24 hours
  6. Retest the water and shock AGAIN if necessary.
  7. Clean the pool filter
  8. Adjust borates
  9. Be CAREFUL with algaecides as many of them are copper based and they can STAIN your pool even if used properly.
  10. Stop using Chlorine Tablets Year around


We believe the best way to handle an algae problem it to call a CPO Certified pool man to handle it. It may takes days to restore a pool back to clear water.
