There’s nothing worse than walking out to enjoy your pool… and finding that it looks more like a swamp than a swimming hole. If your pool keeps turning green in San Angelo, you’re not alone — and there’s a reason why it’s happening.
Let’s break down what causes it, how to fix it, and what you can do to keep your pool crystal clear all year long.
🌿 What Causes a Green Pool?
Green pool water is almost always the result of algae growth, which thrives in warm, unbalanced, or stagnant water. Here’s what makes it worse in San Angelo:
- Extreme heat (especially late spring to early fall)
- High calcium and hard water
- Dust and pollen from West Texas windstorms
- Missed cleanings or poor circulation
- Unbalanced chlorine levels
- Leaves and organic debris breaking down in the water
🧪 Algae can start forming in less than 24 hours if your chlorine level drops too low.
💸 How Much Does Green Pool Cleanup Cost?
Green pool cleanups typically cost between $150 and $300+, depending on the severity of the algae bloom, the condition of your water, and how long it’s been sitting.
