Transform Your Green Pool into a Crystal Clear Oasis
At PhD Pool & Spa, we specialize in transforming neglected, algae-filled pools back into the beautiful swimming oases they should be.

With our systematic approach and local expertise, we'll restore your pool's clarity, safety, and beauty—often in just 24-72 hours.
Why Pools Turn Green in Spartanburg
Spartanburg's distinct climate creates the perfect conditions for pool contamination:
Regional Climate Challenges
Spartanburg's humid summers and frequent rainfall create ideal conditions for algae growth. High humidity promotes algae development, especially in pools with insufficient chlorine levels. Rainwater introduces phosphates and nitrates that feed algae blooms, while our temperature fluctuations between warm days and cool nights destabilize water chemistry and reduce sanitizer effectiveness.
Common Maintenance Issues
Without proper weekly maintenance, pools quickly deteriorate:
Improper Chemical Balancing: When chlorine levels drop below 1 ppm, algae rapidly takes hold
Filtration Problems: Clogged filters or inadequate circulation fail to remove contaminants effectively
Seasonal Neglect: Pools left uncovered during fall and winter months accumulate debris and organic matter, creating the perfect breeding ground for algae
Our Comprehensive Green to Clean Process
Our 5-step system is designed specifically to address Spartanburg's unique pool challenges:
1. Initial Assessment
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your pool's condition:
Visual inspection to determine algae severity (light green, dark green, or black)
Comprehensive water testing for pH, chlorine levels, cyanuric acid (CYA), and total dissolved solids (TDS)
Equipment check to identify any filter, pump, or plumbing issues affecting water quality
2. Powerful Chemical Treatment
Our technicians apply specialized treatments:
Shock chlorination to raise chlorine levels to 10-30 ppm, effectively killing algae
Application of targeted algaecides specific to your pool's type of contamination
pH adjustment to 7.2-7.6 for optimal chlorine efficacy
3. Thorough Physical Cleaning
We physically remove contaminants through:
Aggressive brushing of walls and floors to dislodge stubborn algae
Vacuuming debris using professional-grade equipment
Skimming surface debris to prevent recontamination
4. Filtration System Optimization
Your filtration system plays a crucial role in maintaining clarity:
Thorough cleaning or backwashing of filters to restore maximum efficiency
Continuous circulation for 24-72 hours to ensure complete water turnover
Equipment checks and repairs if necessary to support clean water maintenance
5. Final Balancing and Monitoring
We finish with precise adjustments:
Chemical rebalancing, including stabilizer (CYA) levels to 30-50 ppm for long-term protection
Clarity testing to verify that all algae have been eliminated
Final inspection to ensure your pool is safe and ready for swimming
The Advantage of Professional Green to Clean Services
While DIY pool cleaning might seem cost-effective, professional services offer significant advantages:
Faster Results
Our specialized equipment and commercial-grade chemicals work more efficiently than consumer products. Most pools show dramatic improvement within 24 hours, with complete transformation in 2-3 days. DIY approaches often take 5-7 days or longer.
Comprehensive Treatment
We don't just treat what you can see. Our process addresses underlying causes of contamination that DIY methods often miss:
Detection and treatment of algae hiding in plumbing and equipment
Identification of filtration issues contributing to water quality problems
Adjustment of chemical parameters beyond basic chlorine and pH
Equipment Protection
Severe algae blooms can damage expensive pool equipment. Our process includes:
Professional filter cleaning without risking damage
Pump protection protocols during high-debris removal
Equipment inspection to identify potential issues before they become costly repairs
Common Types of Algae in Spartanburg Pools
Green Algae
The most common type in our region, typically forming when chlorine levels drop and temperatures rise. It produces a green, cloudy appearance and can turn your pool water completely opaque in severe cases.
Yellow/Mustard Algae
Often mistaken for pollen or sand, this stubborn algae clings to shaded areas and requires specialized treatment beyond standard shock chlorination.
Black Algae
The most difficult type to eliminate, black algae forms deep roots in pool surfaces, particularly in concrete or plaster pools. Our targeted approach removes both surface growth and embedded roots.
