Green to Clean Service
Product Overview
A multi-visit restorative service engineered to eliminate severe algae infestations and reset balanced water chemistry.
Simplified Pools provides a targeted, multi-visit Green to Clean Service structured to clear heavy green pools over consecutive field visits. Our technicians balance pool water to 7.2–7.6 pH, dose high-potency shock treatments to reach 10 to 30 ppm free chlorine, thoroughly brush all submerged surfaces, skim debris, and perform deep vacuuming alongside filter backwashing until the water is completely clear.

Benefits & What Makes It Different
Breakpoint Chlorination & Water Balancing
Technicians calculate and apply shock treatments to raise free chlorine above 10–30 ppm breakpoint thresholds while stabilizing pH between 7.2 and 7.4.
Heavy Surface Brushing & Waste Extraction
Aggressive brushing lifts stubborn algae biofilms from plaster, vinyl, and tile lines, followed by systematic vacuuming to pull dead organic waste out of the pool.
Filter Optimization & Equipment Check
Includes routine filter backwashing or cartridge cleaning to maintain operating pressure within 8–10 PSI of baseline, alongside a full mechanical inspection.
Compatibility
- Compatible with plaster, pebble, quartz, vinyl liner, and fiberglass pool surfaces
- Suitable for pools operating sand, diatomaceous earth (D.E.), or cartridge filtration systems
When To Use This
Pro Tip
Running the circulation pump continuously (24/7) during a green-to-clean recovery accelerates clearing time by up to 50%, as constant filtration removes suspended dead algae before it can re-settle.
Common Questions & Instructions
How many visits does the Green to Clean Service typically take?
Most severe green pools require 2 to 4 technician visits across a 3 to 7 day period to complete the shock cycle, settle dead algae, vacuum settled solids, and rebalance total alkalinity to 80–120 ppm.
Can anyone swim in the pool while the Green to Clean treatment is underway?
No. Swimming is unsafe during treatment because free chlorine levels are intentionally elevated to 10–30 ppm to oxidize algae, and water clarity must reach the main drain at 6 to 8 feet of depth before normal swimming resumes.
Will my pool filter require backwashing or media cleaning during the recovery?
Yes. Dead algae rapidly collects in the filter media, raising system pressure by 5 to 10 PSI or more. Our technicians backwash sand and D.E. filters or rinse cartridge elements during visits to maintain standard flow rates.
