The absolute number one culprit behind a pool turning green is algae. With this week of rain and the heat we get during rain breaks, a full-blown algae bloom can transform a crystal-clear pool into a murky green swamp in less than 24 hours. 😷
PRO TIP: A major defense against this is running your pool pump for 10 to 12 hours a day during the heat of the summer. Stagnant water is an open invitation for algae, and consistent circulation is what keeps your chemicals evenly distributed.
Don’t let a sudden shift in weather catch you off guard. Keep your water pristine, healthy, and swim-ready all season long with Deaton Custom Pools. Our professional cleaning service handles the chemistry, equipment checks, and maintenance so you can just dive right in! (Assuming this rain stops at some point!)
