Green Pool Cleanup in Sacramento: Back to Blue in 2–3 Visits
Pool needs some TLC? We can fix that. We balance the water, treat the algae and vacuum the debris out without running it through your filter. Text us a photo and we will tell you what it takes, or send the short form below.
Green pools usually start one of these ways
Bought a home with a neglected pool
The pool came with the house, and it has not been looked after in a while.
Came back from vacation to green
It was blue when you left. A couple of hot weeks later, it is not.
Selling and need it presentable
A green pool is the first thing a buyer sees in the backyard.
The last company let it slip
You were paying for service and it still turned.
However it got there, the first question is the same: how green is it?
From swamp to swimmable.
Drag the slider. Most green pools are back to blue in two to three visits, and our No Green Guarantee keeps them there.

How we take a pool from green to clean
- 1
Send us photos
We look at photos of the pool before we come out, so the plan and the quote fit what is actually there.
- 2
Balance and treat
The water chemistry is fully balanced and the pool gets an algaecide treatment to kill the algae.
- 3
Vacuum it out to waste
A separate unit vacuums the debris out of the pool and away, instead of pushing it through your filtration system.
- 4
Back to blue
The pool is recovered to the way it should look and the water is balanced, usually within 2 to 3 visits.
- 5
Keep it that way
Add our six-month algaecide post-treatment, start weekly service, or both. Neither is required.
The mess never goes through your filter
A green pool is full of dead algae, leaves and sludge. Pushing all of that through the pool's own filtration system is how filter manifolds crack and cartridges get ruined, and it can damage heaters and other equipment downstream.
We bring a separate unit and vacuum the debris straight out of the pool. Your filter and heater never see it.
Six-month algaecide post-treatment
Offered once the pool is fully recovered. It helps fight the tougher forms, such as mustard algae and black algae.
No Green Guarantee
Stay on weekly service and if your pool turns green on our watch, we clear it for free. See weekly service →
Green pool cleanup questions
How long does a green pool cleanup take?
Most green pools are swimmable again in two to three visits. Pools so far gone that you cannot see the bottom usually need a drain and clean instead, which has a one-day turnaround.
Is it safe to swim during treatment?
No. Stay out of the pool while it is being treated. We will let you know when the water is balanced and ready.
Why did my pool turn green?
Algae takes over when the water goes too long without enough sanitizer or circulation. Around Sacramento that most often happens during the spring warm-up and the summer heat, and ash or heavy tree debris speeds it up.
When is draining better than treating?
Usually when you cannot see the bottom of the pool. How long it has been green and the season matter too. We look at your photos and tell you which route makes sense.
Why do you vacuum the debris out instead of using my filter?
Sending that much debris through the filtration system can crack filter manifolds, ruin cartridges and damage equipment like the heater. A separate unit takes it straight out of the pool.
Will the algae come back?
After the pool is recovered we offer a six-month algaecide post-treatment that helps fight tougher forms such as mustard algae and black algae. On weekly service, the No Green Guarantee means that if it turns green on our watch, we clear it for free.
Do I have to sign up for weekly service afterward?
No. Green-to-clean is a standalone service. Weekly service is there if you want someone to keep it blue.
