How to Handle Algae Before It Becomes a Bigger Problem

1 min read

Algae happens fast—especially in warm weather. The key is catching it early and restoring sanitizer levels while improving circulation.

Step-by-step

  1. Test and correct pH (target ~7.2–7.6)
  2. Raise chlorine to the appropriate level for your stabilizer
  3. Brush thoroughly
  4. Run the pump longer and clean the filter
  5. Vacuum if needed

If the pool is green or keeps coming back, you may need a deeper inspection for circulation dead zones or equipment issues. Request an SOS service.
