No we’re not referring to those crispy bills we all like to keep in our pockets with dead presidents on them.  This year is shaping up to be one of the worst years for green pools we can remember. With all the wind storms we’ve had its led to clogged pipes and eventually green pools. Now with temps soaring into the 100’s and our wonderful UV index of 10+ your pool can and usually does go green in no time. Sometimes just a few hours!

Last Tuesday we received a call from a customer in Green Valley who’s pool was “a little green”. He was an elderly man and taking care of his own pool and it had just gotten out of hand. The skimmers, pump, and filter was completely plugged. That combined with no chlorine led to this:

This pool was too far gone to bring it back. Cyuranic acid levels off the charts and a thick, green coating  over much of the walls and floor.  We informed the customer the only solution was a full drain, pressure wash, chlorine bath, and a refill / balance .

First we drained, pressure washed and gave the pool a good chlorine bath:

And today after the pool had been refilled we fired up the pump and its time to balance the chemicals:

Moral of this story is if you don’t think your water looks right CALL IN A PROFESSIONAL! Its much cheaper in the long run to hire a pool professional to maintain your pool and its more enjoyable for you. But, if your water is green rest assured you can count on the professionals at TotalCare Pool Services to fix the problem and get you back to swimming! Needless to say we officially have another happy customer and one who is  now going to let us maintain his pool so it never happens again.
