Green, with visible algae
Warmth and sunlight can help algae spread when sanitiser levels fall.

Green or Cloudy Pool? Start With a Proper Assessment
A green pool is a water chemistry and filtration problem. Adding chemicals without testing can prolong recovery, so Abacus Blue checks the water and equipment before choosing the next step.
Priority scheduling is available where the service route allows.

Filtration checked
Water rebalanced to measured targets

Identify What You Are Actually Looking At
Colour gives a clue, but it doesn’t confirm the cause. Share what you can see when you book.
Milky or cloudy
Fine particles, a tired filter or water imbalance can keep the pool from clearing.
Before we arrive: Check the filter pressure gauge and tell us if it has risen from its usual reading.Green, but still clear
This can be an early sign of algae or a water balance issue that needs testing.
Before we arrive: Avoid adding extra chemicals until the water has been tested.Brown after rain
Runoff can bring soil and organic matter into the pool after heavy weather.
Before we arrive: Photograph the waterline and any visible runoff path for the booking details.Leaves and storm debris
Heavy debris can block baskets and add more organic load to the water.
Before we arrive: Empty baskets only if you can do so safely, and switch off damaged equipment.A sensible order matters
The Recovery Process, Step by Step
Each visit starts with the condition of your pool, not a one-size-fits-all chemical dose. Some pools need a follow-up check.
Clear heavy debris
Leaves and sediment are removed so they don’t keep adding load to the water or obstruct circulation.
Check filtration and flow
The pump, baskets, filter pressure and return flow are checked before a recovery treatment begins.
Test and rebalance
Water readings guide adjustments to alkalinity and pH before the sanitising treatment is selected.
Treat algae in sequence
Where readings indicate algae, treatment and sanitiser are dosed for the pool and its measured condition.
Check progress and advise
Clarity is reviewed and you’ll get practical advice on filtration and any follow-up visit the pool may need.
Look after the whole system
Why Filtration Is Checked Before Chemicals
Treatment can kill algae, but the filter still has to capture the dead material. Poor flow or a blocked filter can leave water cloudy long after the chemistry has been corrected.
We check the equipment that keeps water moving, then adjust the recovery plan to what it can handle.

Filter pressure and media condition
Pump flow, baskets and return strength
Run times and timer settings during recovery
Chlorinator output and salt cell condition, where fitted
Equipment faults that may need a repair visit
Plan around the reason
Post-Storm, Pre-Event and Pre-Arrival Recovery
Tell us when the pool needs attention and what has happened. We’ll discuss timing honestly when you book.
After a storm
We can assess leaves, sediment, runoff and filtration interruptions after heavy weather in Dubbo.
Before a gathering
Book as soon as you spot a problem. Recovery time depends on the water and the condition of the equipment.
Before guest check-in
Holiday rental owners can share check-in dates and pool photos so the service request has useful context.
Before a property viewing
Arrange an assessment early enough to discuss what the pool needs before scheduled inspections.
Keep clear water easier to maintain
Stopping It Happening Again
Regular attention catches small changes before they become a recovery job. Consistency helps.
-
01
Keep visits consistent
Routine cleaning and water testing help spot falling sanitiser or shifting balance early.
-
02
Respond to storm debris
Removing leaves promptly limits organic load and helps baskets and filters keep working.
-
03
Maintain run times and filtration
Correct pump schedules and a clean, serviceable filter support clear water between visits.
