    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.

    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.

    Know the price before we knock.

    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.

    Cabana pools has been doing a great job taking care of our pool for almost two years. They helped us clean our pool after ducks moved in for a few months and recently Curtis helped us get on top of an algae bloom immediately. Curtis immediately identified the problem, treated our pool, and returned to clean our filters so we were back in action in no time. Highly recommend their pool service to anyone in Fallbrook.

    Sean has been cleaning our pool for over a year now. Prior to Sean, we didn't have an entire summer without algae. Since, he's been our guy, the pool has been sparkling clean. The best part is that I don't even have to think about my pool as a chore anymore :)

    I really appreciate Fernando's attention to detail, especially getting the algae off of the grout between tiles. Also, when we had our filter cleaned by a different technician, it had a small leak when reassembled, which Fernando noticed and fixed right away.

    Jamison troubleshooted our pump circulation. The skimmer had been closed somehow and the water did not circulate, hence the green water. Thank you Jamison. You saved our pool.

    Summer heat always used to cause algae blooms in my pool until I switched to Cabana’s service. Their techs know exactly how to adjust chemical levels during hot months and handle algae removal and prevention better than anyone else. They also perform regular filter cleaning and check the equipment to prevent bigger issues down the line. Best pool cleaning company near me in Roseville, hands down.
