If your Chandler pool has turned green, you are not alone, and the good news is that most green pools can be cleared without draining. Green water is caused by algae, and in Chandler's heat it can bloom in a matter of days. Here is how it happens and how Tartan Pools clears it fast. Need it handled now?

Pools turn green when algae grows unchecked, and that almost always traces back to low or inconsistent chlorine. A broken pump, a clogged filter, a rainstorm, or simply skipping a week of service in the summer can let sanitizer drop far enough for algae to explode. The warmer the water, the faster it spreads.
Clearing a green pool is a process, not a single dose of chemicals. It generally involves testing and balancing the water, shocking the pool with a heavy chlorine treatment, running the filter continuously, brushing the walls and floor to break up algae, and then vacuuming out the dead algae as it settles. Depending on severity, this takes anywhere from two to five days.
A light green tint you can often recover on your own. But if your pool is deep green, cloudy enough that you cannot see the bottom, or it keeps turning green after you clear it, that points to an equipment or circulation problem that needs a professional eye. Draining is a last resort and, done wrong in Arizona, can damage your pool surface.
