Recovery isn't instant, but we'll get you there. Here's what happens.
We test your water and assess the severity. You get a clear timeline and cost estimate upfront.
We apply professional-grade shock treatment to kill algae and bacteria. The pool will look worse before it gets better.
As algae dies, we continuously filter and brush. This may require multiple visits over several days.
Once clear, we balance all chemistry and ensure your pool is safe and swim-ready.

Green pool recovery takes time and chemicals. We'll be upfront about what it takes so there are no surprises.
Most green pools need 2-3 visits over 5-7 days. Severe cases may need more.
Recovery uses significantly more chemicals than regular service. We bill based on actual usage.
We'll explain what we're doing at each stage and what to expect next.
We don't consider the job done until your pool is clear and swim-ready.
