What Causes Green Pools After Storms?
Floodwater Contamination
Heavy rainfall and flooding introduce bacteria, sewage, pesticides, fertilizers, and organic matter into your pool. This overwhelms your sanitizer system and creates the perfect environment for explosive algae growth.
Debris Overload
Hurricanes dump massive amounts of leaves, branches, dirt, pollen, and organic debris into pools. As this material decomposes, it consumes chlorine and feeds algae blooms that turn water bright green.
Power Outages
When power fails for days, pumps and automation systems stop running. Without circulation and chlorination, bacteria multiply rapidly. Stagnant water in Florida's heat becomes a swamp within 48-72 hours.
Chemical Imbalance
Diluted chlorine from excessive rainfall, disrupted pH from acid rain, and depleted sanitizer from debris create a perfect storm. Your pool's chemistry collapses, allowing green algae to take over completely.
How We Fix Storm-Damaged Green Pools
Emergency Assessment (Within 24 Hours)
We arrive within 24 hours of your call to assess damage, test water chemistry, inspect equipment for storm damage, and provide an immediate action plan. No waiting days or weeks like other companies.
Heavy Debris Removal
We manually remove all large debris—branches, leaves, roof shingles, fence pieces, and organic matter. This prevents further contamination and allows chemicals to work effectively. We also clean skimmer baskets and pump strainers.
Equipment Inspection & Repair
Before treatment begins, we inspect pumps, filters, heaters, chlorinators, and automation systems for storm damage. If equipment failed during the storm, we provide same-day repairs or emergency replacements to restore circulation.
Super-Chlorination Shock Treatment
We apply professional-grade shock chlorination at 3-5x normal levels to kill algae, bacteria, and contaminants. Our technicians use calcium hypochlorite or liquid chlorine based on your pool's specific contamination level and water chemistry.
Algaecide & Clarifier Application
We add commercial-strength algaecide to prevent regrowth and clarifiers to bind suspended particles. This makes debris sink to the bottom for easier vacuuming and speeds up the clearing process by 2-3 days.
Continuous Filtration & Monitoring
We run your filter 24/7 for 3-5 days, backwashing and cleaning cartridges multiple times daily. Our technicians return every 24-48 hours to test chemistry, adjust chemicals, vacuum debris, and monitor progress until water is crystal clear.
Final Balancing & Safety Testing
Once water is clear, we perform comprehensive testing for chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid. We balance everything to perfect levels and verify the pool is 100% safe for swimming before giving you the all-clear.
Don't Wait—Green Pools Get Worse Every Day
The longer you wait after a storm, the harder and more expensive recovery becomes. Algae spreads rapidly in Florida's heat. Call now for emergency response.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to clear a green pool after a hurricane?+
Most storm-damaged pools take 3-7 days to fully recover depending on debris levels and water contamination. We start emergency treatment within 24 hours and have your pool swimmable faster with our shock treatment process and advanced filtration cleaning.
Is my pool water safe after a tropical storm flooded it?+
No—floodwater brings bacteria, sewage, pesticides, and debris that make pool water unsafe. Never swim until we test and treat the water. We perform complete water testing, shock treatment, and chemical rebalancing to restore safe swimming conditions.
Do I need to drain my pool after a hurricane?+
Rarely. Draining can cause structural damage from ground pressure. We clean 95% of storm pools without draining using super-chlorination, clarifiers, and filtration. Only severe contamination requires partial draining.
What if my pool equipment was damaged in the storm?+
We inspect pumps, filters, heaters, and automation systems for storm damage. If equipment failed, we provide same-day repairs or emergency replacements. We also handle insurance documentation and warranty claims for storm-damaged equipment.
How much does emergency green pool cleanup after a storm cost?+
Emergency storm cleanup typically ranges $250-$600 depending on debris volume, water contamination level, and equipment damage. We provide free on-site quotes within 24 hours and work with insurance companies for storm-related claims.
