Green Pools Around Maitland
Maitland is a lake town. Homes on Lake Maitland, Lake Sybelia and Lake Lily, and older neighborhoods such as Dommerich Estates, often have mature trees, older pools and original equipment. That combination is behind most of the green pools we see here: leaves and organic debris raise the chlorine demand, and an older filter cannot keep up.
Some Maitland homes are also historic properties with original coping and finishes, so we take care with the brushes and chemicals we use on older plaster and stone. After the water is clear we will tell you honestly whether the pool just needs regular service or whether the filter, pump or finish is part of the problem.
Lakefront homes in Maitland also see more pollen and wind-blown debris than you would expect, even with a screen. If your pool turns green every spring, that pattern tells us something. We will look at your filter size, pump run time and chlorine source and suggest the simplest change that keeps it clear through pollen season.

Maitland Green Pool FAQs
How much does a green pool clean-up cost in Maitland?
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 Maitland 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.
