Green Pool Cleanup in Fort Myers & Southwest Florida
If you walked outside and your pool looked more like a pond, you are not alone. Green pools are one of the most common calls we get from homeowners across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Estero, and Bonita Springs — and they can go from clear to green in just a few days if the chemistry slips or the pump goes down.
At Liquid Concepts Pool Service, we have cleaned hundreds of green pools across Southwest Florida. We are a licensed pool contractor (CPC1459893), and we treat every job with the same honest, no-surprises approach that has built our reputation here in Lee County.

What Causes a Pool to Turn Green?
A green pool is almost always an algae problem, and algae bloom when the chemistry falls out of balance. The most common triggers include:
Chlorine levels that dropped too low — even for just a couple of days
A pump or filter that stopped running properly
Heavy rain diluting your pool water and shifting the pH
Missed service visits during a busy week or vacation
Algaecide treatment that wore off without being replenished
Left untreated, algae spread fast. What starts as a green tint on Monday can be a full swamp by Friday. The sooner you call, the easier — and less expensive — the fix.
How We Handle Green Pool Cleanup
We do not just shock the pool and hope for the best. Our cleanup process is thorough because shortcuts only mean the problem comes back.
Step 1: On-Site Assessment
We visit your property, test the water, and assess the severity of the algae. This tells us exactly what treatment plan your pool needs and gives us a realistic timeline to share with you up front.
Step 2: Brushing & Debris Removal
Before any chemicals go in, we brush the walls and floor to break up algae colonies and remove any debris. This step is critical — chemical treatments work far better on a physically cleaned surface.
Step 3: Shock Treatment & Algaecide Application
We apply the right combination of chlorine shock and algaecide based on your pool size and the specific type of algae we found. Green algae, yellow algae, and black algae each respond to slightly different treatment.
Step 4: Filter Deep-Clean
Your filter is full of dead algae and debris after a green pool. We clean or backwash the filter so it can do its job through the recovery process.
Step 5: Water Balance Verification
Once the water clears, we return to test and balance the full chemistry — pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and sanitizer levels — and confirm the pool is safe before we close the job.

Frequently Asked Questions About Green Pool Cleanup
How long does it take to clean a green pool?
Most pools clear up in 3 to 7 days. The timeline depends on how severe the algae bloom is and how well your filter runs during treatment. We give you a realistic estimate after our first visit — not a best-case-scenario number.
How much does green pool cleanup cost in Fort Myers?
The cost depends on your pool size and how bad the algae problem is. We never quote a price without seeing the pool first. Call (239) 526-8816 to schedule a free assessment and we will give you a straight answer.
Can I swim in a green pool?
No. Algae creates conditions that bacteria love. Swimming in a green pool puts you at risk for skin irritation, eye infections, and other health issues. Keep everyone out until we confirm the water is clear and balanced.
Why does my pool keep turning green?
A recurring green pool usually points to one of three things: inconsistent maintenance, inadequate filtration run time, or a chemical imbalance that never fully got corrected. Weekly service from Liquid Concepts eliminates all three.
Do you service green pools in Cape Coral and Estero?
Yes. We serve all of Southwest Florida including Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Estero, Bonita Springs, Lehigh Acres, and North Fort Myers.
Is Liquid Concepts Pool Service licensed?
