Every green pool has a story. Pick the one that fits and we’ll tailor the recovery – it’s the same expert team behind pool cleaning in Toorak.
“It went green after the storm or heatwave”
Heavy rain dilutes chlorine; a hot spell burns it off. Water can turn in a day or two – we treat the cause, not just the colour.

Toorak’s Green Pool Season Calendar
Melbourne’s weather swings keep pools on their toes. Know what to watch for – and call us before a small tint becomes a full swamp.
Summer
Dec – Feb • Peak riskHeatwaves burn off chlorine and busy pools get overloaded. Algae can bloom in a day or two.
Autumn
Mar – MayLeaves and organic debris feed algae and clog baskets, especially around Toorak’s leafy streets.
Winter
Jun – AugShort pump hours and cold, still water hide a slow bloom. Covered pools can be nasty when uncovered. Winterisation helps prevent it.
Spring
Sep – Nov • Happening nowWarmer days wake up algae just as everyone wants the pool open. Get ahead before the first hot weekend.

Why Did My Pool Turn Green So Suddenly?
Green water is almost always algae – but what let it bloom matters. If the cause isn’t fixed, it returns within weeks.
Low chlorine or sanitiser
Without enough free chlorine, algae multiplies fast. Heat, rain and sunlight all use it up.
Poor circulation or filtration
Stagnant water is an invitation. We recommend running the pump around 8 hours a day and keeping the filter clean.
Unbalanced water chemistry
High pH or low stabiliser stops chlorine working. See our pool chemistry balancing.
Metals and debris
Metals oxidising from ladders or equipment can tint water green, and leaves and soil add to the load.
Pro tip: avoid draining an in-ground pool yourself – it can damage the shell. Call us first.
Our 4-Step Green Pool Recovery Process
Light blooms often clear within a day or two; heavily neglected “swamp” pools take longer. After testing, we’ll give you a realistic timeframe and price upfront.
1
Test & Inspect
We assess the water, surfaces and equipment, using digital water testing to find the real cause.
2
Clear the Debris
Skim, brush and vacuum out leaves, sludge and dead algae so treatment can actually work.
3
Treat & Filter
Targeted sanitising and balancing with filtration cleaned and running to polish the water.
4
Re-test & Prevent
Final check and clear advice to keep it blue, with an optional regular servicing plan.
Keep Your Toorak Pool Clear After Recovery
Once the green is gone, these services help keep it that way.

Bridie AndersonGreen Pool Recovery FAQs
Quick answers before you call.
How long does it take to clear a green pool?
Light green pools often clear in a day or two. Dark, swamp-like pools can take several days and more than one visit. We confirm the likely timeframe after testing the water.
Can I swim in a green pool?
We don’t recommend it. Green water usually means high bacteria and algae loads, and poor visibility makes it hard to see the bottom – a real safety risk for children.
Do I need to drain my pool?
Usually not. Most green pools recover with cleaning, filtration and treatment. Draining an in-ground pool can damage it, so get advice first.
Can you help urgently, e.g. before a party or inspection?
We offer same-day assistance for urgent jobs where the schedule allows. Call us with your date and pool condition and we’ll tell you what’s realistic.
How much does green pool recovery cost?
It depends on pool size and access, how severe the green is, and whether equipment needs attention. We provide a clear quote before work starts.
How do I stop my pool going green again?
Keep chemistry balanced, run the filter long enough and keep debris out. A regular servicing plan or pool maintenance keeps it under control.
