Understanding Algae in Swimming Pools
Why Algae Is More Than Just an Eyesore
Algae can appear quickly and spread aggressively, turning a clean pool into a green, murky mess. Whether it’s green, yellow (mustard), or black algae, each type poses its own challenges and health risks. Besides making your pool look unpleasant, algae can create slippery surfaces, reduce water circulation, and clog your filters and plumbing systems.
Pool owners often struggle with algae even after treating their water. That’s because successful algae removal requires more than chemicals—it needs a targeted cleanup strategy. At Fresh Pools and Spa, we take a comprehensive approach that not only eliminates existing algae but also helps prevent future outbreaks, keeping your water crystal clear and safe.
Our Algae Cleanup Process
Our professional algae cleanup service starts with a thorough pool inspection to determine the severity and type of algae present. Identifying the correct algae strain is crucial because treatment methods vary. For instance, black algae roots deeply into pool surfaces, requiring aggressive brushing and specialty algaecides, while green algae floats freely and can be shocked out with chlorine.
Once identified, we balance your pool water chemistry, apply commercial-grade treatments, and scrub affected surfaces using specialized tools. We then clean the filtration system and run circulation to ensure the algae is completely removed. Our final step includes a post-treatment assessment to verify clarity and safety, setting you up with proper maintenance guidance to avoid future growth.
Types of Algae and Their Impact
Green algae is the most common type and often the first sign of water imbalance. It spreads rapidly in warm, untreated water and gives the pool a green tint. Though it may seem harmless, green algae can cause skin irritation and interfere with your pool’s filtration system if left untreated.
Yellow algae, also known as mustard algae, is more resistant to chlorine and usually appears in shady areas of the pool. It often reoccurs even after chemical treatment, making professional removal essential. This type of algae sticks to surfaces and requires thorough brushing combined with specialty algaecides to fully eliminate.
Black algae is the toughest of all. It forms in cracks and crevices of plaster or concrete pools and has a protective layer that makes it incredibly resistant to chemicals. Removing black algae requires deep scrubbing with wire brushes and high-strength algaecides. This is a job best left to trained technicians with the right tools and expertise to prevent long-term damage to your pool.
