Professional Pool Cleaning Services in Weatherford, TX

Algae removal takes several days, not one treatment. We shock your pool heavily on day one, which turns the water cloudy as algae dies. Day two we vacuum all the dead algae off the bottom—this step can’t be skipped or the algae just rots in your pool and feeds new growth. We shock again, brush thoroughly, and check filter pressure to make sure it’s handling the extra debris.

By day three or four, your water starts clearing. We test chlorine levels to confirm they’re staying high enough to prevent regrowth. If chlorine keeps dropping, there’s still algae in the system consuming it. We continue treatment until chlorine levels hold steady for 24 hours.

Weatherford pools with persistent algae problems usually have an underlying issue. Your filter might be undersized for your pool. Your pump might not be running long enough each day. Or phosphate levels might be feeding algae growth faster than chlorine can kill it. We test for phosphates and remove them with specific chemicals designed to eliminate algae’s food source.

Black algae is the hardest to remove. It forms protective layers that regular chlorine can’t penetrate. We use steel brushes on plaster pools and stiff nylon brushes on vinyl to scrub off the protective coating. Then we apply chlorine tablets directly on the spots and let them sit for several minutes to kill the roots. This process gets repeated until every black spot is gone.

Pool surfaces matter when treating algae. Pebble-tec and exposed aggregate pools have tiny pores where algae roots deep. We brush more aggressively and use stronger concentrations of shock in these pools. Vinyl pools can’t handle steel brushes or certain harsh chemicals, so we adjust our methods to protect the liner while still killing the algae.

After removing algae, prevention starts immediately. We add algaecide as a backup to chlorine, run your filter longer each day for a week, and brush your pool twice during the first week to catch any spores trying to regrow. Most algae blooms happen because something stopped working right—low chlorine, dirty filter, or inadequate circulation. We fix the root cause so you don’t fight the same battle next month.

Summer is peak algae season in Parker County. Temperatures above 85 degrees speed up algae growth. Kids swimming all day deplete chlorine fast. Afternoon thunderstorms add phosphates and dilute your chemicals. We increase our service frequency during summer months for pools prone to algae, checking chemistry twice a week instead of once.

Your pool equipment affects algae growth too. A variable-speed pump running on low speed all day circulates water better than a single-speed pump running six hours. Better circulation means fewer dead spots where algae can grow undisturbed. We evaluate your equipment setup and recommend changes if your current system isn’t keeping water moving well enough.

We serve Parker County families who want their green pools turned clear and kept that way. Whether you’re in Weatherford, Aledo, Brock, or nearby areas, we bring the aggressive treatment methods and ongoing prevention that stops algae from ruining your swimming season.
