A green or cloudy pool is one of the most common calls we get, especially after a pool has sat unused for a stretch in Dubai’s heat. Algae grows fast in warm water once chlorine levels drop, and it needs a specific treatment process, not just a standard clean, to fully clear. High temperatures, strong UV exposure, and fine dust provide ideal fuel for algae blooms, turning sparkling water into an opaque green hazard within days. Our specialized algae eradication process eradicates free-floating algae and embedded spores without damaging pool surfaces or filtration systems.
Owners returning to a pool that’s turned green or cloudy after a period of neglect or travel. Anyone noticing early signs of algae, a slight green tint or unusually cloudy water, before it becomes a full outbreak.
Returning Residents & Travelers: Property owners returning from holidays to find their pool overtaken by green or mustard algae.
Villa Owners with Persistent Cloudiness: Pools where water remains hazy or green-tinted despite routine surface skimming.
Holiday Home Operators: Hosts needing fast, guaranteed water recovery before incoming guest check-ins.
Post-Monsoon / Storm Pools: Pools that collected heavy organic debris and dirt, triggering sudden chemical failure and algae blooms.
Algae removal starts with shock-treating the water to raise chlorine to a level that kills active algae, followed by thorough brushing to remove algae clinging to walls and floors, and filtration to clear dead algae from the water. Depending on severity, this can take one intensive visit or a follow-up once the chemical treatment has had time to fully work through the water.
Water Testing & Chemistry Diagnosis: Testing pH, alkalinity, stabilizer (CYA), and free chlorine levels to calibrate the correct shock dosage.
High-Level Shock Chlorination: Administering industrial-grade sanitizers to break down algae cell structures rapidly.
Aggressive Surface Brushing: Scrubbing walls, steps, corners, light fixtures, and grout lines to detach stubborn clinging algae colonies.
Flocculant & Clarifier Treatment: Binding suspended dead algae particles so they settle to the floor for vacuum extraction.
Waste Vacuuming & Filter Cleansing: Vacuuming dead algae straight to waste to prevent filter clogging, followed by complete sand or cartridge backwashing.
Pricing depends on how severe the algae growth is and the pool’s size. A light green tint costs less to treat than a fully opaque, dark green pool that’s been neglected for weeks. Severe cases may require heavy chemical volumes and a dedicated secondary visit. [Add real starting price or note that a free quote is given after assessing the water.]
Mild cases can often be cleared in a single visit of around 60 to 90 minutes. Severe algae outbreaks typically need a follow-up visit 24 to 48 hours after the initial shock treatment, once the chlorine has fully worked through the water and filtration systems have turned over the full volume.
No, wait until the water has cleared and chemical levels are back in a safe swimming range, we'll let you know when that is after treatment. High chlorine levels used during shock treatment can cause severe skin and eye irritation.
Algae grows fast in Dubai's heat once chlorine levels drop, which often happens when a pool sits unused for a week or more without monitoring. Warm water temperatures above 30°C accelerate microorganism reproduction significantly.
Not if the pool moves to a regular cleaning schedule afterward, algae returns when chemical levels aren't maintained consistently, which is why we recommend weekly service after a full algae treatment.
Mustard and black algae form deep root barriers inside plaster and grout, making them more resistant than common green algae. We apply specialized algaecides and targeted wire or stiff brushing protocols to eliminate these persistent strains completely.
No. Our technicians dissolve and balance all shock treatments before introduction, preventing tile bleaching, liner staining, or equipment corrosion while effectively destroying the algae.
In over 95% of cases, full draining is completely unnecessary. Draining pools in hot climates risks structural popping and tile damage due to ground pressure and heat. Our chemical recovery method clears the water without draining.
Run the filtration pump continuously for 24 to 48 hours following treatment, clean the filter media regularly, and maintain free chlorine levels between 2.0 and 4.0 ppm.
Our contract agreements are flexible. If tenant usage changes or extra visits are required during peak summer months, contract terms can be adjusted accordingly.
