Your pool turned green. Don't panic - and don't drain it. Green water is almost always algae - and it's fixable with the right steps.

Step one: test the water. You need to know exactly what's out of balance before you treat it.
Step two: shock it. A proper shock treatment raises chlorine levels rapidly and starts killing the algae.
Step three: add algaecide to target and eliminate what's left. Step four: brush every surface - walls, floor, steps. This breaks algae loose so your filter can catch it.
Step five: run the pump continuously and backwash the filter as pressure builds.
Step six: retest and balance until the water is clear and safe.

Or - skip the stress and call Slimline Pools. We'll sort it out for you. πŸ“ž 035 789 3456

Happy Mandela Day. πŸ•ŠοΈ

Today we're reminded that small actions, done consistently, can create something truly great.

In many ways, it's the same with pool care - a little effort each week keeps things clean, healthy, and ready for when it matters most.

From the Slimline Pools team: thank you to everyone who shows up, does the work, and takes pride in what they do. Today and every day.

Just because no one's swimming doesn't mean your pump should be taking a break. βš™οΈ

Your pool pump is the heart of your water circulation system. In winter, running it for at least 4-6 hours daily:

βœ”οΈ Keeps water moving, preventing stagnation
βœ”οΈ Ensures chemicals are evenly distributed
βœ”οΈ Prevents the filter from clogging with settled debris
βœ”οΈ Reduces the chance of equipment damage from disuse

Not sure if your pump is in good shape heading into the colder months? We'll check it as part of your service.

Skipping pool maintenance over winter might feel like a saving - but it rarely is. πŸ’°

Here's the reality of what a neglected pool can end up costing:

🟒 Green pool recovery – extra chemicals, extra labour, extra time
πŸ”§ Equipment damage from running dry or seizing up – pump and filter repairs or replacement
🏊 Surface staining and scaling from unbalanced water – resurfacing costs
πŸ§ͺ Overcorrecting water chemistry – significantly more chemicals than regular maintenance requires

Regular weekly servicing is a predictable, affordable cost. Emergency fixes are not.

Keep your pool maintained this winter. It's the smarter investment.

Stagnant water is one of the most overlooked winter pool problems. πŸ’§

When a pool isn't being used and circulation is reduced or switched off entirely, water stops moving - and still water is where bacteria, algae, and chemical imbalances thrive.

Even in winter, your pump should be running for several hours a day to keep water circulating and filtration working properly.

Not sure if your pump is running enough? We can check it as part of your regular service.

Your pool will tell you when it needs help - if you know what to look for. 🚨

Don't ignore these warning signs this winter:

🟑 Cloudy or dull water – chemistry is off balance
🟒 Green or brown tint – algae is taking hold
βšͺ White or grey deposits on surfaces – calcium scaling
πŸ”΅ Waterline ring – oils and minerals building up
πŸ’¨ Unusual pump noises – equipment needs attention

Every one of these is easier (and cheaper) to fix early than to deal with when it's progressed.

Spot something? Give us a call before it becomes a bigger problem.

Pool Fact: Algae doesn't hibernate in winter. 🌿

While cold water slows algae growth, it doesn't stop it - especially when chlorine levels drop and debris is left to break down.

In KwaZulu-Natal, our mild winters mean water temperatures rarely get cold enough to fully halt algae development. That means year-round vigilance is still essential.

The fix is simple: keep chlorine levels maintained, brush regularly, and don't let debris sit on the floor or walls.

Need help keeping on top of it? That's exactly what we're here for.
