How long does it take to get a green pool clear again?

It depends on how far gone the water is. A pool that is lightly green comes back faster than one that has been sitting all summer. We tell you what to expect at the consultation, and we keep working it until it is clear. We do not promise it all happens in one visit, because for most green pools it does not.

Can I swim while the pool is being recovered?

Not until the water is clear and balanced. We let you know in the photo report when it is swim-ready.

Do I need to drain the pool?

Most green pools do not need to be drained. We look at the water and the equipment first and tell you if yours is one of the rare cases where a drain makes more sense than treating the water.

Why did my pool turn green in the first place?

Almost always it is chemistry that drifted and did not get corrected in time. Here that happens fast: the summer heat evaporates water and throws the balance off within days, and the wind keeps adding dust and debris. Once algae gets a start, it spreads quickly in warm water.

Will it just turn green again?

Not if the water gets tested and balanced every week. That is why we set you up on weekly service once the pool is clear. The chemicals are included, so there is no reason for the balance to slip again.

How much does green-to-clean cost?

It depends on how green the pool is and what the filter and equipment look like, so we price it after a free consultation rather than guessing over the phone.

Green Pool

A Green Pool Is Fixable. Start Here.

A green pool looks like a disaster and usually is not. Algae got a start because the chemistry drifted, and in Las Vegas heat it spread fast. The fix is a process: brush, treat, filter, test, repeat, until the water is clear and balanced. We handle the whole thing and send you a photo report after every visit so you can watch it come back.

French Riviera Pools & Spas handles green-to-clean recoveries across Summerlin, South Summerlin, Spring Valley and Southwest Las Vegas. It starts with a free consultation, because how green the water is and what the filter looks like decide the price and the timeline.

What's Included

What a Recovery Involves

There is no shortcut that skips the filter and the brushing. A recovery done right covers all of this.

A real look at the water and equipment

How green it is, whether the filter is holding up, and whether the pump is moving water tell us how the recovery will go.

Heavy brushing

Algae holds on to the walls, the steps and the tile line. Brushing knocks it loose so the treatment can reach it.

Water treatment

We treat the water to kill the algae and bring the chemistry back into range, in the order that actually works.

Filter attention

Dead algae ends up in the filter, so filter cleaning is part of most recoveries. We tell you what yours needs at the consultation.

Return visits until it is clear

Recovery is a process, not a single stop. We keep coming back and keep testing until the water is clear and balanced.

Photo report every visit

You see the progress from your phone, and you know the day it is swim-ready.

How It Works

From Green to Swim-Ready

Request your free consultation

Send the form or text us. We text you back within minutes. At the consultation we look at the water, the filter and the pump, and give you a price and an honest read on how long the recovery will take.

The recovery starts

Brushing, treatment and filter attention, in the right order. The water usually goes from green to grey to cloudy to clear, and the photo report shows you each step.

Clear and balanced

When the water is clear and the chemistry is in range, we tell you it is swim-ready.

Weekly service keeps it there

The pool goes on the weekly route. Tested and balanced every week, chemicals included, so it does not drift back.

How many visits it takes depends on the pool. We never promise every pool comes back in one visit, because most do not, and we would rather tell you that up front.

Why It Happens

Why Las Vegas Pools Turn Green So Fast

Summer heat evaporates water out of the pool and throws the chemistry off within days. Wind drops dust and debris in, which feeds algae. And our water is very hard, so scale builds up and gives algae rough surfaces to hold on to. Put those together with a missed week or two of care and the pool can turn in a hurry.

The way to never see it again

Weekly testing and balancing. That is the whole secret. Once the pool is clear we put it on weekly service, with the chemicals included, so the balance never gets the chance to slip.

Pricing

Priced After We See the Water

How green the pool is, how the filter is holding up and whether the pump is moving water all change what the recovery takes. We look first, then give you an exact price and an honest timeline. The consultation is free whether you book or not.
