Pool turned green or cloudy? Southern Pool Care clears green pools in Lake Mary and gets them back to clean, balanced water.
Lake Mary pools under tree canopies in Timacuan and around Alaqua take a beating in summer storm season. Busy schedules, travel and a skipped week of service are usually all it takes. We clear the water, find out why it turned and set it up so it stays clear.

- Shock and balance the chemistry
- Brush walls, steps and floor
- Clean or replace the filter media
- Vacuum out dead algae
- Re-test and follow-up visit until it is clear

Green Pools Around Lake Mary
Lake Mary pools tend to be screened, well kept and on automation, so when one turns green it is usually because something stopped working rather than neglect. The usual causes are a salt cell that has scaled up, a variable-speed pump schedule that was cut back to save power, or a filter that has not been cleaned since spring. Homes near Crystal Lake, Lake Emma and the lakes around downtown also catch more pollen and wind-blown debris than you would expect under a screen.
Many Lake Mary neighborhoods have HOA rules about visible pool problems and standing water, which is one more reason not to let a green pool sit. We clear the water, then find and explain the cause so it does not happen again. If equipment is part of the problem, we can quote the repair at the same time.
Most Lake Mary pools clear without draining. Draining a pool in Central Florida's high water table can damage the shell, so we only recommend it when the water truly cannot be saved, such as very high stabilizer levels. We will tell you which it is before we start.

Lake Mary Green Pool FAQs
How much does a green pool clean-up cost in Lake Mary?
Every green pool is different, so we quote from photos. Text a photo of your pool to (407) 385-0933 and we will send you a price the same day.
How long does it take to clear a green pool?
Most green pools clear within a few days. Heavily neglected pools with lots of debris can take longer and may need a filter clean or media replacement.
Is it safe to swim in a green pool?
No. Algae can hide bacteria and makes it hard to see the bottom. Wait until the water is clear and the chemistry is balanced.
Do you clean pools at homes that are for sale or vacant?
Yes. We work with homeowners, landlords and real estate agents in Lake Mary to get pools clear before showings, closings or move-in.
How do I keep my pool from turning green again?
Weekly service. Our all-inclusive weekly service runs $200 to $500 a month with chemicals and filter cleans included, and it keeps the water balanced every week.
