A green pool comes back.
One-off cleaning for pools that have stood unused, turned green, or are waiting on the start of the season. No contract required — we bring the pool back into use, and you can move on to regular maintenance if you want to.
The order of work in one visit.
Surface and debris
Leaves, insects and floating debris are netted out. Left in the water they dissolve, raising chlorine demand and staining.
Walls and waterline
The oil and scale film on the lining and waterline is brushed off. This is where algae hold on; chlorine added without brushing never reaches the surface.
Vacuuming the floor
Settled dirt and dead algae are lifted from the floor. On green pools this step is usually repeated after flocculation.
Skimmer and pre-filter
The skimmer basket and the pump pre-filter are emptied. A blocked basket drops the flow rate and weakens filtration invisibly.
Filter backwash
The sand filter is backwashed and rinsed. A dirty filter undoes the work of any chemical added after it.
Shock and balance
Shock chlorination where needed, then pH and chlorine are brought to 7.2-7.6 and the right chlorine band.
Cleaning, or maintenance?
They are different jobs. We can tell which one you need from when the pool last ran — a couple of questions on the phone settles it.
One-off cleaning
For a pool that has stood still, turned green, come with a newly bought house, or simply needs pulling back into shape once mid-season. We come once and leave the pool usable. Nothing obliges you to continue.
Regular maintenance
If the pool is in use through the season, cleaning alone will not hold: water balance drifts again within weeks. Scheduled visits are the right answer then, and cheaper over a season.
The equipment and chemicals that go in.
Every tool and chemical we use on a clean. Each product page says what it does and what to watch for.
Common questions.
How long does a green pool take to clear?
It depends how deep the green runs. On a surface bloom, shock chlorination and filtration usually settle it within a day. On a pool that has stood a long time with no visible floor, flocculation, a second vacuum and filter washes spread over several days. We stay with it until the water clears rather than leaving after one visit.
Does the water have to be drained?
Usually not, and usually it should not be. A full pool holds the lining and the ground in balance through water pressure; draining disturbs that, and water is expensive here. Draining only comes up when the water cannot be recovered chemically, or when work is needed on the lining.
When can we swim after a clean?
If the pool was shock chlorinated, you wait until chlorine falls back into the normal band, typically a few hours. We measure it and tell you — it is not something to judge by eye.
Can I book just once?
Yes. A one-off clean is a standalone service with no contract attached. If you want regular maintenance we discuss it separately, and because we have seen the pool during the clean we can quote it more accurately.
Which areas do you cover?
Çeşme, Alaçatı, Ilıca, Urla, Seferihisar, Karaburun and around İzmir. Depending on distance we schedule same day or next day.
I have a robot cleaner — do I still need this?
A robot takes the floor and, on most models, the walls, but it does not take over the oil film at the waterline, the skimmer basket, the filter backwash or the water chemistry. A robot automates part of a clean, not the whole of it.
