Green2Clean Treatment

Green to Clean (often called “Green 2 Clean” or Green-to-Clean treatment) is a pool recovery process designed to clear up green, algae-infested, or cloudy water and restore it to a clean, safe, and swimmable condition.

Here’s how it works and what it means:

Definition

Green 2 Clean refers to both:

1. A specialized pool chemical product (usually containing sodium bromide and other oxidizing agents).

2. A treatment procedure used to eliminate algae blooms, especially when chlorine alone isn’t effective.

Purpose

• To remove algae (green, yellow, or mustard types).

• To oxidize organic contaminants.

• To restore sanitizer efficiency after algae has overwhelmed the pool.

Typical Process

1. Brush the pool to loosen algae from surfaces.

2. Balance water (pH around 7.2–7.4, alkalinity 60–80 ppm).

3. Add Green 2 Clean according to the manufacturer’s directions (usually 2 oz per 15,000 gallons).

4. Wait 5 minutes, then shock the pool heavily with liquid or granular chlorine (often 2–3 lbs per 10,000 gallons).

5. Run the pump continuously for 24–48 hours and brush again.

6. Vacuum dead algae and clean filters thoroughly.

Results

• Pool water typically clears within 1–3-5 days, depending on severity.

• Chlorine demand drops back to normal levels.

• Surfaces return to a clean, non-slippery condition.

Important Notes

• Green 2 Clean converts chlorine into bromine temporarily, which remains active against algae.

• Do not use with other algaecides at the same time.

• Always verify chlorine levels return to normal before swimming.
