How to eliminate Green ALgae in your Swimming Pool

Before Clean Up
Green algae is a common swimming pool problem, which may appear as a greenish growth on the floor and walls of a swimming pool, a green tint to the pool water, or greenish material suspended in the pool water. The only way  that to kill an algae growth is super chlorinating swimming pool  or commonly  called "shocking" the pool. Shocking can be done with  granular form of highly concentrated chlorine or using several jugs of liquid chlorine.  This can quickly raises the chlorine level of the swimming pool water. The elevated chlorine level makes the pool water conditions unlivable for anything organic, and algae quickly dies.
In many cases where we have found green algae present the pool has been left unmaintained for a period of time or something more serious can be the root of the problem.  Here is a photo of a swimming pool below as hard as it is to believe that had current pool service and was being cleaned by a pool company. The owner had the service company called back several times.  However lack of experience and expertise can lead to a more serious pool problem not being identified.  We came in and saved this one without draining the pool.  There was some issues with the pool having a leak which we were able to repair after the initial clean up.  Trust the experts when you have a persistent problem, it can save you time, money, and aggravation in the long run.

  4. Great advice, To keep swimming pools clean and germ-free, most owners use chlorine. The chemical is known to bind with germs to kill them. Generally, a couple signs about the condition of the water will tell us the chemical is effective. By the way, I saw a site earlier about pool equipment repair, just Click Here to visit!

  6. Like other parts of the house, a pool owner also need to keep a proper maintenance of the swimming pool to stay it in the best working condition. Most of the swimming pool owner use cartridge pool filter because in caparison of other pool filtration system it works very efficiently and trap all impurities from the pool water. It removes unnecessary debris, algae, bacteria from the water and ensure crystal clean water in the pool. Among all the activities A pool filter & its cartridge both need to be cleaned regularly to keep pool water healthier & increase pool life. Replace filter cartridge with new one when it got damage or used for a log time. You can replace all type of pool filter cartridge at our online store PoolFilters.Biz.
