A green pool is more than just unsightly. It is a sign that algae has taken over your water, making it unsafe for swimming. The good news? We can fix it fast.

At BlueRipple Indio Pool Care, we treat dozens of green pools every year. We understand the urgency of getting your pool swim-ready again, and we work quickly without cutting corners.

What Causes Algae to Take Over

Algae thrives when your pool water falls out of balance. Here is what usually triggers a green pool in Indio.

Low Chlorine Levels

Chlorine kills algae. When your chlorine drops too low, algae starts growing. This often happens when pools go unattended during vacations or when equipment malfunctions.

High Summer Temperatures

Indio summers can push pool temperatures above 90 degrees. Warm water makes algae multiply faster. Combined with our intense sun and low chlorine, your pool can turn green in just a few days.

Poor Circulation and Filtration

Stagnant water creates dead zones where algae grows unchecked. If your pump is not running enough hours per day or your filter needs cleaning, algae finds a home in your pool.

How We Remove Algae and Restore Clear Water

Getting rid of algae takes more than dumping chemicals in the water. We follow a proven process that eliminates algae completely and prevents it from coming back.

• •Test water chemistry to determine the severity of the problem
• •Brush all pool surfaces to break up algae colonies
• •Shock the pool with high doses of chlorine to kill algae
• •Add algaecide for stubborn or recurring algae
• •Run the filter continuously until water clears
• •Vacuum dead algae from the pool floor
• •Rebalance all chemicals for safe swimming

The process usually takes 3 to 7 days depending on how bad the algae problem is. We stay in touch throughout the treatment and let you know when your pool is ready to use again.

How to Prevent Your Pool from Turning Green Again

Once we clear your pool, you want to keep it that way. Here is what you need to do to prevent algae from returning.

First, maintain proper chlorine levels. Your pool should always have at least 1 to 3 parts per million of free chlorine. Second, run your pump and filter long enough each day. In Indio summers, that usually means 8 to 12 hours. Third, brush your pool walls weekly to prevent algae from taking hold.

The easiest way to avoid green pool problems is with regular maintenance. Our weekly pool cleaning service keeps your chemicals balanced and your pool clean year-round. If your equipment is not working right, we also offer pool equipment repairs to fix pumps, filters, and other issues before they cause algae problems.
