Green Pool Drain and Chlorine Wash in Peoria

Some pools get away from you. The algae takes hold, the water turns that dark murky green, and suddenly you're not sure where to even start. That's exactly where this Peoria pool was when we got the call.

We drained it completely. That's the right move when a pool is this far gone - shocking it and hoping for the best just kicks the problem down the road. Once the water was out, we did a full chlorine wash on the shell. You can see the difference in the exposed plaster - what was coated in algae buildup came out clean and uniform.

After the wash and a good rinse, we refilled it and started the chemical balancing process. Getting the water chemistry dialed in from the start matters. It's not just about making it look clear - it's about protecting the surface and making sure the pool stays healthy once it's back in service.

The difference between a pool that's swim-ready and one that cycles back to green usually comes down to whether the job was done right the first time. A chlorine wash paired with a proper chemical start-up gives the pool a real reset, not just a temporary fix.

If your pool has gone green and you're not sure it's worth saving - it usually is. This one is a good example of that.
