Green Pool? We Bring It Back To Life.

Been on holidays, just moved in, or let it slide for a bit too long? No judgement — we deal with swamp pools all the time. Most green pools come back to swimmable within 2–3 visits.

Bring it back to life

The recovery process

From $80+ chemicals

Typically takes 2–3 visits depending on how far gone it is. Prices may vary depending on pool size.

  • Full assessment & shock treatment
  • Algae & debris removal
  • Filter clean-out (green pools clog filters fast)
  • Follow-up visits until it's crystal clear

How it works

From swamp to swimmable

Assess

We check the water, the filter and the equipment to work out exactly how far gone things are and what it'll take to fix.

Shock

A heavy chemical shock kills off the algae and bacteria that turned the water green in the first place.

Clean & filter

We remove debris and dead algae, then run and clean the filter repeatedly to pull the cloudiness out of the water.

Follow up

Further visits fine-tune the balance until the water's crystal clear and back on a normal maintenance schedule.

Why it happens here

Why Gold Coast pools go green faster than most

Warm water, faster algae blooms

Algae thrives in warm water — and Gold Coast pools sit in that sweet spot pretty much year-round. A pool that's been left unbalanced for a week or two over summer can go from clear to fully green far quicker than the same pool would down south.

Holidays & empty houses

With so many holiday letting and investment properties along the Coast, we regularly get called to pools that have sat unattended for a few weeks between tenants or over a holiday stint — long enough for chlorine to burn off completely and algae to take hold.

Big rain events

A heavy storm dumping rain into an unbalanced pool can dilute chlorine and tip chemistry over the edge overnight, especially during the wetter months from November to April. It's one of the most common triggers we see for a pool tipping green fast.

New to the area or the house

Just bought or moved into a place with a neglected pool? It's more common than you'd think, and there's no need to start again with new equipment — most green pools are a chemistry and cleaning problem, not an equipment problem, and come good within a few visits.
