1. On-site assessment
We test the water, inspect the filter and pump, and check how much debris is sitting on the floor. You get a flat-rate quote before any work starts.
Green pool recovery
We turn green pools back to swimmable
Algae remediation for neglected, cloudy and green pools across Covington, TN and Tipton County — flat rate, usually swimmable in 3–5 days.
Green water is a filtration and chemistry problem — not a lost cause
A pool goes green when chlorine drops long enough for algae to take hold, and West Tennessee heat speeds that up fast. Most homeowners try to shock it themselves, run the pump for a day, and end up with cloudy water and a clogged filter. Recovery is a sequence: remove the organic load, hold a high chlorine level long enough to kill the algae, then filter and vacuum the dead algae out.
We handle that sequence start to finish, and in nearly every case we do it without draining your pool — draining a pool in this soil can float a liner or crack a shell.
How the recovery works
2. Debris removal & shock
Leaves and sludge come out first, then a measured shock treatment plus algaecide targeted to the type of algae in your pool.
3. Filter cycling & vacuuming
We run and clean the filter on a schedule, brush the walls, and vacuum dead algae to waste until the water clears.
4. Balance & follow-up
Final balancing of chlorine, pH, alkalinity and stabilizer, plus a follow-up visit so the pool doesn't turn back over.
Common questions
- How long does it take to clear a green pool?
- Most pools clear in three to five days. Pools that sat all winter with heavy leaf load can take longer, and we'll tell you that up front instead of after the fact.
- How much does it cost?
- We quote a flat rate after seeing the pool. The quote covers chemicals, labor, filter cycling and the follow-up visit — no hourly billing surprises.
- Do I need to drain the pool?
- Almost never. Draining risks liner float and shell damage. We only recommend it when the water is genuinely beyond chemical treatment.
- Can you keep it from turning green again?
- Yes — most recovery customers move onto regular maintenance so chlorine and stabilizer never fall far enough for algae to return. See all services.
