Green-to-Clean Pool Recovery
If your pool has turned green from neglect, storm damage, or a chemical imbalance, we can bring it back. Our green-to-clean service starts with a full assessment of the water and equipment, then a structured recovery plan to clear the algae, rebalance the chemistry, and get the pool swim-ready again. Most pools clear up within 3 to 7 days depending on how far gone they are. We've rescued pools across Katy and Fulshear that owners thought were a lost cause, many of them for less than the cost of draining and refilling.
- Full water test and equipment inspection on day one
- Shock treatment to kill algae bloom
- Algaecide and clarifier application
- Heavy brushing of walls, floor, tile line, and steps
- Vacuum to waste (bypasses the filter for heavy debris)
- Filter clean or backwash as the water clears
- Daily chemistry monitoring until water is crystal clear
- Final balance test and a maintenance plan to prevent recurrence
Filter Cleaning and Service
A clean filter is the single biggest factor in clear, healthy water, and the one piece of equipment most pool owners overlook. Backwashing helps but it doesn't pull out the oils, lotions, sunscreen, and fine mineral buildup that coats filter media over time. We service every filter type out there, sand, cartridge, and diatomaceous earth (DE). Most pools benefit from a full filter clean every 3 to 6 months on top of regular backwashing, and we handle this as part of routine service or as a standalone visit. We also stock common replacement cartridges and handle sand changes (typically every 5 to 7 years) and DE recharges as needed.
- Full filter teardown and deep clean
- Cartridge soak in chemical degreaser to break down oils and lotions
- Sand bed inspection and replacement when channeling or biofilm is present
- DE grid cleaning and fresh DE powder recharge
- Pressure gauge reading before and after to confirm flow restored
- O-ring inspection, lubrication, and reseal
- Crack and wear check on housing, manifold, and laterals
- Filter element replacement when a clean won't bring it back
Pool Chemicals Done Right
Balanced chemistry is the difference between a pool you want to swim in and one you avoid. We test every visit and adjust chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, cyanuric acid, and calcium hardness to factory-recommended ranges. No more guessing at the pool store, hauling chemical buckets, or wondering if the water's safe. We handle every drop.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often do you service my pool?
Most residential pools get serviced weekly, year-round. Some smaller pools or pools with cover use can go biweekly. We recommend a schedule at your free first-week service based on your pool size, usage, and how much sun and debris it gets.
Do I need to be home for service?
No. Most of our customers are at work when we come by. All we need is access to the pool area and the equipment pad. We send a service report after each visit so you know exactly what was done.
What happens if my pool needs extra work (algae bloom, equipment issue)?
We'll let you know before doing anything outside the regular weekly service. Any chemicals, equipment repairs, or special treatments get quoted in advance, no surprise charges.
Do you service pools year-round?
Yes. Pools in Katy and Fulshear need attention year-round, not just summer. Off-season service is lower-touch but still essential, chemistry has to stay balanced, equipment has to run, and debris from storms and trees still needs to come out.
What does pool service cost?
Weekly service pricing depends on pool size, equipment type, and how much extra cleanup the pool needs. The first week is free, and after that we'll give you a flat weekly rate. No hidden fees, no per-chemical add-ons.
Do you handle pool openings and closings?
Yes. We open pools for the season, close them at end of season, and handle the cover, chemistry, and equipment transitions in between.
What if I have a saltwater pool?
Saltwater pools need the same regular service as chlorine pools, they're not maintenance-free. We service salt cells, test salt levels, and balance the chemistry that the salt system can't handle on its own.
