Boise Pool Crew handles heavy algae, chemical shock treatment, and filter cleanup — priced from $380 to $855 with no hidden chemical charges.
Why Boise pools turn green fast
Green pool cleaning in Boise is more urgent than in many climates. Boise's hot, dry summers push pool chemistry to its limits. High UV levels burn off chlorine faster than weekly top-ups can replace it, especially in Southeast Boise and Harris Ranch where backyard pools sit in full sun all day. Add the cottonwood fluff that clogs filters and skimmers every June, and a pool can shift from clear to green in under a week. Hard water from the Boise municipal supply also throws off pH, giving algae a foothold even in a well-maintained pool.
- Cottonwood season (May–June) deposits organic matter that feeds algae overnight
- UV index above 8 burns off free chlorine in hours
- Hard municipal water raises carbonate hardness, stressing chemical balance
What our green pool cleanup covers
Green pool cleaning in Boise starts with a full assessment — how green, how cloudy, and what the water chemistry looks like. From there, we vacuum debris, shock the water with the right chemical load for your pool size, and run filter cycles until the water clears. We revisit if needed so you are not stuck with a still-murky pool after a single visit. Every job includes a written chemical log so you can see exactly what went into your water.
- Brushing walls, steps, and floor to break up algae colonies
- Multi-stage shock treatment sized to your pool volume
- Filter backwash or clean to restore flow
- Follow-up water test and balance before we leave
Green pool cleanup cost in Boise
Green pool cleanup in Boise runs $380 to $855 depending on how severe the algae bloom is, the volume of the pool, and how many filter cycles are required to restore clarity. Pools that have gone weeks without service — common after a missed visit or a late spring opening in neighborhoods like the North End or Meridian — often need more chemical treatment and may fall toward the higher end of that range. There are no surprise chemical upcharges: the quote you get before we start is the price you pay.
- Mild algae bloom (light green): lower end of range
- Severe bloom (dark green or black algae): higher end of range
- Price confirmed before work begins — no add-on chemical fees
Questions Boise homeowners ask
How do you clean a green pool in Boise?
We start by testing the water chemistry, then brush the walls and floor to break up algae, vacuum debris, and apply a shock treatment sized to your pool volume. Filter cycles run until the water clears, and we retest chemistry before leaving. In Boise's hard water, pH correction is almost always part of the process.
How long does green pool cleanup take?
Most cleanups take one to three visits over two to four days, depending on how severe the algae bloom is. A lightly green pool may clear after a single treatment, while a pool that sat untreated through Boise's June cottonwood season may need follow-up filter cycles and a second chemical dose.
Can I swim right after a green pool treatment?
No — water needs time for the shock treatment to work and chlorine levels to return to a safe range, typically 24 to 48 hours. We test the water before we wrap up and let you know the earliest safe swim time.
