My Pool Repairs
If your pool water has gone from crystal blue to swampy green, don’t panic—it’s one of the most common issues for pool owners in Florida! Here’s what’s happening and how to fix (and prevent) it:
1⃣ Algae Growth
The #1 culprit is algae. When chlorine levels drop too low, algae quickly multiply—especially under Florida’s warm sun and humid weather.
Fix it: Shock your pool with chlorine, brush the walls and floor, and run the filter continuously until the water clears.
2⃣ Poor Water Circulation
If your pool pump isn’t circulating water properly, dead spots form where chlorine doesn’t reach—allowing algae to grow.
Fix it: Clean your skimmer baskets, check your filter and pump for clogs, and ensure your jets are properly angled for full circulation.
3⃣ Unbalanced Water Chemistry
High pH, low chlorine, or poor alkalinity levels make it harder for chlorine to do its job.
Fix it: Test your water regularly (2–3 times per week in summer) and adjust your chemicals as needed.
4⃣ Environmental Factors
Leaves, debris, sunscreen oils, and Florida rain can throw off your pool’s chemical balance and feed algae growth.
Fix it: Skim daily, use a pool cover when not in use, and clean your filters often.
A green pool may look scary, but with consistent maintenance and proper balance, it’s completely preventable!
If your pool keeps turning green no matter what you do, it might be time for a professional check-up.
