At a Glance

BlueLux provides fast green pool recovery in San Diego. We diagnose the cause of algae growth, apply targeted chemical shock treatment, run continuous filtration, and rebalance the water. Most pools are swim-ready within 24-72 hours depending on severity. Pricing starts at $300 and is based on pool size and condition.

Our Recovery Process

Green pools are a chemistry and filtration problem, not a draining problem. Here is how we fix it without wasting thousands of gallons of water.

1

Assessment

We test the water, assess algae severity (light, moderate, or severe), and determine the treatment plan.

2

Chemical Shock

Targeted shock treatment with the right chemicals for the specific algae type. No guessing, no over-dosing.

3

Filtration & Brush

We brush all surfaces to break algae's grip, then run continuous filtration to clear dead algae from the water.

4

Rebalance & Verify

Full water rebalancing, filter clean, and final testing to confirm the pool is safe and swim-ready.

Severity & Timeline

Light Green

24 hrs

You can see the bottom but the water has a green tint. Single shock treatment, one visit.

Moderate Green

48 hrs

Cannot see the bottom. Visible algae on walls. Requires multi-stage shock and filter cleaning.

Severe / Swamp

72+ hrs

Opaque water, thick algae growth. Multiple treatments, brushing, and filter cleans over several days.

Why Treatment Beats Draining

Chemical Treatment

  • Saves 15,000-30,000 gallons of water
  • No risk of structural damage
  • Swim-ready in 24-72 hours
  • Preserves plaster and tile surfaces
  • Typically $300-$800 depending on severity

Draining (Risky)

  • Wastes thousands of gallons of water
  • Risk of hydrostatic uplift (pool pop)
  • Risk of plaster cracking from sun exposure
  • Takes 2-3 days to refill plus chemical startup
  • Typically $500-$1,500+ including refill costs
