Why Pools Turn Green in Florida
Common Causes of a Green Pool
A green pool means algae has taken over, and in Florida it can happen faster than most homeowners expect. Warm water, strong sun, and heavy rain create perfect conditions for algae to grow. A pool can go from clear to green in just a few days.
The most common causes we see in Brevard County:
- Heavy rain diluting chlorine after summer storms
- A broken or underperforming pump or filter
- Pump runtime cut too short to save on electricity
- Chlorine running low during a hot stretch or while homeowners are away
- Fertilizer, leaves, pollen, and lovebugs feeding algae
- Vacant homes and rentals where the pool was left unattended
Whatever the cause, the longer algae sits, the harder it is to remove, and the more likely it is to stain surfaces and clog equipment.
