How To Clean A Pool With Algae?

There are few things as fun as jumping into a pool on a sunny day. But danger could lurk in your pool, keeping you away from that refreshing splash you’ve been itching for. If your pool looks green, you may have an algae buildup and will need to identify and eliminate the source of the growth before spending your weekend in the water. In this blog, we’re going to tell you how to remove green algae from the pool and turn your pool into a crystal-clear oasis.

 

Causes of a Green Pool

Several things may cause your pool to turn green. Algae overgrowth, pollen, and metals can cause your pool to turn green. Finding the root of the problem is key. Photosynthetic organisms that use the sun, water, and carbon dioxide to create their food are capable of proliferating on your pool’s walls, floor, and steps. Simply, algae are the number one cause that makes your pool turn green.

Step 1: Clean the Ladders

Ladders are a great place for algae to hide and grow out into the wider waters of your pool. Regularly removing and bleach cleaning your ladder will prevent algae from growing in the crevasses of your pool’s ladder. A one-part bleach to 10 parts water solution used in either a spray or cloth wipedown will take solve this problem.

 

Step 2: Clean Your Pool of Debris

Organic material is a consumer of chlorine, and the more you can remove this material, the less chlorine you’ll need to use later. If you don’t know how to clean the debris, you can refer to our other article, Pool Cleaning 101

Use any pool shock or liquid chlorine. If you want an easy way to shock your pool into shape, I suggest you use liquid chlorine. If your pool is in bad shape, use an algaecide, you can see it does a chemical reaction in the water.

  1. Hi there,

    we are chasing the best robotic pool cleaner to keep a pool clean that constantly has issues with algae – no leaves or debris, just algae. The pool is an inground fibreglass that is roughly 9m x 4m and 2.1m deep at the deepest point.

    Would the Aiper Elite Pro work well in this environment?

    Thanks.

  2. Hi Steven,
    Thanks for your message. This is Summer from Aiper Support Team.
    Please kindly understand that our swimming pool robot is more difficult to clean stubborn algae. The algae is stuck on the pool which needs human intervention to brush off the algae with a brush to get rid of the sticky.
    Thanks for your understanding and attention.
    If there is anything else, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
    Best regards
    Summer
