A green or cloudy pool can feel overwhelming, yucky, and ruin the entire vibe of your backyard.
The truth is, every green pool is different, from the colour and clarity to the depth of algae and the condition of your filter. So there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.
At Pool Living, we’ve helped stagnant pools that had been left for over a year be restored within days. The results are always satisfying. You’ll hardly believe it’s the same pool!
A green pool doesn’t happen overnight. Instead, it’s a sign that your water’s chemistry has low chlorine levels and poor sanitisation, which allows microscopic algae spores to grow.
Here are some common reasons for green pools:
Low Chlorine or Sanitiser Levels
The most common cause, usually due to hot weather, rain, or heavy pool use.
Poor Filtration or Circulation
If your pump or filter isn’t running long enough, water becomes stagnant, which can cause algae growth.
Unbalanced pH and Alkalinity
These can affect your optimum chlorine levels and cause green water.
Organic Debris
Leaves, dirt, and sunscreen residue can feed algae if not removed quickly.
Weather & Neglect
Storms, temperature spikes, or leaving the pool unattended for too long.
