How do you know if you need a Green to Clean?

​

COMMON POOL ALGAE

​

Green Algae: This is probably the most common type of pool algae. It is often found on pool walls and surfaces. This type of algae will reduce your water clarity and create a green color to your water.

​

Yellow Algae: This type of algae is sometimes called Mustard Algae. It is usually found on the shady side of the pool clinging to walls and surfaces. Yellow Algae is hard to eradicate and homeowners often spend a season fighting it because it is resistant to normal chlorine levels.

​

Black Algae: This is the most difficult type of algae to eradicate. Black Algae appears as small black or dark green/blue spots on surfaces. It most often found in plaster pools and the roots will bury directly into your pool surface. The best defense is regular, weekly pool maintenance.
