The homeowner problem

A green pool isn't a chlorine problem. It's a system problem.

Green water almost always means several things went wrong at once: chlorine ran out, stabilizer is off, the filter isn't keeping up, and phosphates are feeding the algae.

That's why dumping shock in the pool usually gives you a cloudy pool instead of a clear one — the algae dies, but nothing removes it and nothing fixes the cause.

Meanwhile you don't know whether the pool is two days or two weeks from being swimmable, and nobody will give you a straight answer.

The Piranha solution

A structured recovery, with updates the whole way

We start with an honest assessment: water condition, filtration capacity, surface condition, and whether recovery or a drain is the right call.

Algae treatment and chemistry correction are staged deliberately — chlorine, pH, alkalinity, stabilizer, and phosphates in the right order.

Filtration is the part most people skip. We manage run time, clean or backwash as needed, and vacuum out the dead algae rather than hoping it disappears.

You get progress photos and a plain-language update at each stage, so you know where the pool stands and roughly when you can swim.

The communication advantage

You'll always know where your pool stands

During a green pool recovery, silence is the worst part. You'll know what we did, what the water is doing, and what the next step is — every stage, in writing, with photos.

Most pool companies clean your pool. We keep you informed.

How the process works

Simple, from first call to ongoing service

  1. 01

    Assessment

    We see the pool, test the water, and tell you honestly whether it can be recovered chemically.

  2. 02

    Treatment begins

    Algae treatment and chemistry correction start, with filtration run time adjusted for the load.

  3. 03

    Clear and vacuum

    As the algae dies, we remove it — vacuuming and filter cleaning until clarity returns.

  4. 04

    Stabilize and maintain

    Chemistry is balanced for the long term, then weekly service keeps it that way.
