Pool Cleaning
Weekly skimming, vacuuming & brushing that stops algae before it starts.
Learn MoreWhat turns a pool green in this climate, what professional algae recovery really involves, and what it should cost — explained by the techs who clean them every week.
Algae needs three things: light, heat, and food. A Texas Gulf Coast summer supplies all three in abundance. Water temperatures above 85°F accelerate algae growth exponentially, and a single pop-up thunderstorm can dilute your sanitizer and drop a bucket of organic debris into the pool in twenty minutes. Chlorine that looked fine on Monday can be gone by Thursday.
The most common triggers we see across Brazoria and Matagorda Counties:
Green water isn't just tinted water — it's a living bloom with a chlorine demand far beyond normal dosing. Algae coats walls and floors in a slick biofilm that shelters more algae from sanitizer, which is why brushing matters as much as shocking. Until the biofilm is broken and the dead algae is filtered out, the pool will keep reverting.
Our Green-to-Clean service is a multi-visit process, not a single bucket of shock:
Green-to-Clean starts at $349 for an average residential pool. Final pricing depends on gallons, how far gone the water is, and the condition of the filtration equipment. A lightly tinted pool with a working pump is quick; a black-green pool with a seized pump is a different job. We confirm the exact number at the on-site assessment before starting — no surprises.
Why the DIY route often costs more: pouring shock into an unbrushed, unbalanced pool burns through chemical without clearing the water, and "shock until it's clear" frequently overstabilizes the pool so badly it needs a partial drain. One drain-and-refill in this area can exceed $500 in water plus the refill rebalance — more than the professional recovery would have cost.
Once the pool is clear, the economics flip hard in favor of prevention. A weekly maintenance plan keeps sanitizer, stabilizer, and circulation checked every seven days — which is exactly the gap algae exploits. Complete Pool Care starts at $199/month, less than most single recoveries, and it includes the LSI-based balancing that keeps water stable between visits.
