After a week of triple-digit temperatures, we noticed algae starting to form on the walls of our pool. We called Cabana, and they came out the next morning to do a full algae treatment and shock service. They brushed every surface, backwashed the filter, and rebalanced all the chemicals. By the next day, our water was perfectly clear again. I can't recommend them enough for San Diego pool algae removal and prevention.

Pool Algae Removal
Send photos of the pool. We assess the condition and quote the recovery work.
The condition determines the treatment
A few algae spots and a pool full of green, cloudy water are different jobs. Send photos that show the water and affected surfaces. The service manager reviews the condition and explains whether a one-time clean, green-pool recovery or another service is appropriate.
Treatment and cleanup take more than one visit
We brush and treat the pool, remove dead algae and debris, and finish the recovery with a filter clean. Green-pool recovery takes multiple visits. Severe buildup can require additional cleanup, so we set the schedule from the pool condition.

How it works
From photos to a recovery plan
Show us the pool
Send the address, photos and a description of how the condition changed.
Review the scope
The service manager assesses the condition and quotes the proposed recovery work.
Allow for follow-up visits
We return for treatment and debris removal as the pool recovers, then complete the filter clean. The condition determines the visits needed.
Why another dose of shock may not finish the job
Heavy debris can overwhelm the filter while a pool is being cleaned. For heavy dead-algae removal, Cabana uses an external pump to vacuum waste out rather than sending it through the pool filter. The team decides which cleanup method the pool needs.
Persistent black algae
Black algae can need repeated treatment and a different plan from green-pool recovery. Photos help us distinguish a suspected algae problem from staining or surface damage before quoting the work.
Care after recovery
Weekly service is quoted separately from recovery. Regular water care and working filtration still matter after the water clears. Ask the service team when the pool can be used again and what to do between visits; water color or a fixed number of hours is not a clearance to swim.
