A green pool usually won’t clear up with one bag of shock and a quick brushing. Killing the algae is only part of the job. The dead algae and debris still need to be removed, the water needs to circulate and filter properly and the chemistry must be brought back into balance.
El Dorado Pool Cleaning provides one-time Green to Clean service for algae-filled pools throughout El Dorado, Sacramento and Placer counties.
We test the water, treat the algae, brush and clean the pool, service the filtration system as needed and return for follow-up visits until the water is clear, balanced and ready for final testing.
Most Green to Clean treatments take approximately three to seven days, depending on the pool’s condition and equipment.
Serving El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Placerville, Shingle Springs, Folsom, Granite Bay and Roseville.
Green to Clean is a multi-step pool cleanup that removes algae, debris and cloudy water while restoring proper water chemistry.
Unlike normal weekly pool service, a green-pool cleanup may require higher chemical levels, extended filtration, repeated brushing, vacuuming, filter cleaning and several return visits.
The goal is to restore the pool to clear, balanced and swim-ready water—not simply make it look a little better for a few days.
What Is Included?
Every pool is different, so we inspect the water, equipment and overall condition before recommending a treatment plan.
Depending on what your pool needs, Green to Clean service may include:
Full pool-water testing
High-dose chlorine treatment
Water-chemistry adjustments
Removal of leaves and other debris
Repeated brushing of pool surfaces
Pool vacuuming
Filter cleaning or backwashing
Extended pump and filtration time
Follow-up treatment visits
Final water balancing
Final testing before the pool is cleared for swimming
You don’t need to sign up for ongoing weekly service. Green to Clean is available as a one-time service.
1. We Inspect the Pool and Equipment
We begin by looking at the color and clarity of the water, the amount of algae and debris, the pool’s approximate size and the condition of the pump, filter and circulation system.
This allows us to determine whether the equipment can support the cleanup and how much work the pool is likely to require.
2. We Test the Water
Green water can involve more than a low chlorine reading. We test the water so the treatment is based on the pool’s actual condition instead of guessing and adding chemicals blindly.
3. We Treat and Brush the Pool
We apply the appropriate chlorine treatment and brush the pool surfaces to break algae loose from the walls, steps and floor.
Severe algae often requires repeated brushing and treatment as the cleanup progresses.
4. We Circulate and Filter the Water
The pump and filter do a large part of the work after the algae has been treated. The system may need to run for an extended period so it can continuously move and filter the water.
The filter may also need to be cleaned or backwashed as it collects dead algae and debris.
5. We Return for Follow-Up Visits
Green pools rarely clear properly in one visit. We return to check the progress, retest the water, brush, vacuum, clean or backwash the filter and make additional adjustments as needed.
6. We Balance and Perform Final Testing
Once the algae and cloudiness have been removed, we bring the water back into balance and perform final testing.
We’ll let you know when the water is clear, balanced and ready for swimming.
Most Green to Clean treatments take approximately three to seven days.
The exact time depends on:
How severe the algae growth is
How much debris is in the pool
The size of the pool
The starting water chemistry
The condition of the pump and filter
How well the pool circulates
How quickly the filter removes dead algae
Whether equipment repairs are needed
A lightly green pool with working equipment may clear faster. A dark green pool filled with algae and debris can require more treatment, cleaning and filtration time.
We’ll give you a more accurate expectation after inspecting the pool.
A Green to Clean treatment depends on proper circulation and filtration.
Before treatment can begin, the pool must have:
If the pump, filter or circulation system isn’t working properly, the equipment may need to be repaired before the cleanup can move forward.
Adding chemicals without working circulation and filtration won’t produce the result you’re paying for.
You should not swim in the pool during the Green to Clean process.
The water may contain active algae, poor water chemistry, reduced visibility and temporarily elevated chlorine levels during treatment. Wait until we have completed the cleanup, balanced the water and confirmed through final testing that the pool is ready for swimming.
Green pool cleanup is priced after an inspection because every pool requires a different amount of chemicals, labor and follow-up care.
Your quote will be based on factors such as:
* Pool size
* Algae severity
* Water condition
* Amount of leaves and debris
* Equipment condition
* Filter type and condition
* Number of anticipated visits
* Chemicals and cleaning required
You’ll receive a custom quote based on what your pool actually needs.
We Take the Time to Do It Right
A green pool needs more than a quick chemical dump. We follow the cleanup through the brushing, filtering, vacuuming and final balancing stages.
We Explain What Your Pool Needs
We inspect the pool before pricing the work and explain any equipment problems that could prevent the treatment from working.
We Come Back
Green to Clean is a process. We provide the follow-up visits needed to check progress and keep the cleanup moving.
No Weekly-Service Commitment
Anyone can book this as a one-time service. You aren’t required to sign a contract or become a weekly customer.
We Show Up

Pool water commonly turns green when algae grows because the sanitizer level, circulation, filtration or water chemistry is no longer keeping it under control. Equipment problems, hot weather, storms, debris and missed maintenance can all contribute.
We test the water and inspect the equipment to determine what may be affecting your pool.
Chlorine treatment is an important part of killing algae, but it may not finish the job by itself. The pool usually also needs brushing, circulation, filtration, debris removal, vacuuming and water balancing.
The service may include water testing, chlorine treatment, repeated brushing, debris removal, vacuuming, filter cleaning or backwashing, follow-up visits and final water balancing. The exact work depends on the pool’s condition.
Most treatments take approximately three to seven days. Severe algae, heavy debris, cloudy water or equipment problems may require additional time.
We complete final water testing after the water is clear and balanced. We’ll tell you when the treatment is complete and the pool is ready for swimming.
The pump, circulation system and filter must be working for the cleanup to succeed. If the equipment isn’t operating correctly, repairs may need to be completed before treatment begins.
It may need to run for extended periods during the cleanup. We’ll explain the recommended pump schedule based on your pool and equipment.
Filter cleaning or backwashing may be included in the Green to Clean plan when needed. The required work will be included in your custom quote.
No. Green to Clean is available as a one-time service with no ongoing maintenance commitment.
We need to inspect the pool before giving an accurate quote. The price depends on the pool’s size, algae severity, debris, water chemistry, equipment and the number of visits required.
The longer algae continues growing, the more time and work the cleanup may require.
We’ll inspect the pool, check the equipment and give you a straightforward quote for the complete Green to Clean process.
