Green to Clean Service
Why Does a Pool Turn Green? Understanding Low Water Quality
A pool's transformation from clear blue to murky green often happens due to poor water quality, specifically issues like high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and elevated Cyanuric Acid (CYA) levels. Here’s what you need to know:
-
High Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Over time, your pool water accumulates various minerals, salts, and organic matter, leading to a rise in TDS. High TDS levels make it harder for chemicals like chlorine to effectively sanitize the pool, resulting in algae growth and cloudy water.
-
High Cyanuric Acid (CYA) Content: While CYA, also known as a pool stabilizer, helps protect chlorine from being broken down by the sun, too much of it can be a problem. High CYA levels reduce chlorine's effectiveness, creating the perfect environment for algae to thrive.
When these issues go unchecked, they significantly lower your pool’s water quality, making it unsafe for swimming and unappealing to the eye.

Our Green to Clean Pool Service Process
At Valley Pool Solutions, we follow a systematic approach to tackle even the most stubborn algae and restore your pool’s clarity and health:
-
Comprehensive Water Analysis: We begin by testing your pool’s water to identify the levels of TDS, CYA, pH, alkalinity, and chlorine. This precise analysis helps us understand the root cause of the algae bloom.
-
Drain and Refill (If Necessary): If TDS and CYA levels are too high, we may recommend partially or fully draining your pool to lower these levels. This step is crucial for ensuring that the water can be properly balanced and treated.
-
Shock Treatment: We apply a high-quality shock treatment to the water to eliminate algae spores and other contaminants. This process raises the chlorine level in your pool to quickly kill off any existing algae.
-
Algaecide Application: To ensure that all types of algae, including green, yellow, and black algae, are fully eradicated, we use a powerful algaecide specifically designed to target these microorganisms.
-
Brushing and Vacuuming: Our team thoroughly brushes the pool walls, tiles, and floor to dislodge algae and debris, followed by a deep vacuum to remove all particles.
-
Water Balancing and Stabilization: After cleaning, we rebalance your pool’s water chemistry to optimal levels, ensuring that pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels are in the ideal range for safe swimming.

Algae and Bacteria Growth: When chlorine can’t do its job effectively, it opens the door for algae blooms and bacterial contamination, putting your pool’s hygiene at risk.
