Pool Water Turned Green — Valencia, Valencian Community
Green pool water is almost always caused by an algae bloom triggered by low chlorine, poor circulation, or a clogged filter. Left untreated, algae can stain surfaces, damage equipment, and make the pool unsafe for swimming. A pool technician tests the water chemistry, shock-treats the pool, brushes and vacuums algae deposits, and balances pH and sanitizer levels to restore clear water.

Emergency services in Valencia respond within 30–90 minutes in the city core (faster in l'Eixample and Ruzafa, slower in outlying districts). Callout rates run €50–€130 plus €35–€65/hour including IVA. Post-DANA (November 2024) contractor availability in the southern metro area (Horta Sud) remains constrained due to ongoing flood remediation work — expect longer waits and higher rates for any flood-zone adjacent property.
