Algae buildup can make your pool feel uninviting and can be a hazard to swimmers. If your pool is experiencing algae build our experts are here to help! There are many ways to remove the algae from your pool. What method needs to be used will depend largely on the severity of the issue and what type of algae has formed.
Our team at Flow will be able to analyze the problem and provide the best solution to get your pool looking fresh and clear again.
Algae growth in pools can be due to factors such as poor water circulation, imbalanced chemicals, and sunlight exposure. Insufficient water circulation creates stagnant areas where algae thrive. Chemicals help to kill algae and prevent it from growing. If your chemicals aren’t balanced this gives algae a favorable environment to grow. Algae thrive in warm, wet areas so if your pool is in direct sunlight and does not have proper circulation and balanced chemicals then this will also cause algae to grow. At Flow, we understand what causes algae and can provide effective solutions. With our expertise, we can address water circulation issues, balance chemicals, and solve any other issues that might be causing algae to get your pool clean again.
The algae in your pool may be able to be effectively removed with the right tools and some elbow grease. This process involves scrubbing and vacuuming walls and other surfaces within your pool to detach the algae. Once the algae is detached we will be able to scoop and clear it out of your water. This process is repeated until all of the algae is removed.
Our experts will test your water to make sure a chemical balancing or Ph level issue isn’t causing the algae build-up. If the levels are off we will make sure we get them back where they should be. We can use chemicals such as chlorine to “shock” your pool and destroy the algae. If we find that a shock is the best option to remove algae we will ensure that all the algae is gone and chemical levels are returned to normal.
If the algae build is too much to remove manually or with chemicals then we can conduct a drain and refill. This process evolves draining all the water from your pool, making sure it is thoroughly cleaned, and refilling it. A drain and refill acts as a fresh start for your pool. Once it is filled, we will add and balance chemicals making sure your pool water stays fresh.
Over time, if algae is left untreated it can cause stains on your pool walls. This can drastically affect the overall aesthetics of a pool. However, they can be difficult to remove, but don’t worry! Our team has all the right tools and knows the proper cleaning ingredients to use to effectively remove these stains.
