Professional restoration of algae-filled, neglected and unusable pools — back to clean, safe, swim-ready water
A green pool is one of the most common problems Cape Town homeowners face — especially after load-shedding, holidays, or periods when the pump has not been running. Algae takes hold quickly in our climate, turning clear water cloudy, then green, and eventually into a thick, neglected mess.
Apex Jungle specialises in green pool recovery across Greater Cape Town. We restore algae-filled and black pools to crystal clear condition using professional treatment, thorough cleaning, equipment checks and proper chemical balancing — so you can swim again with confidence.
Real results from neglected algae pools restored by Apex Jungle
From thick green algae to clear blue water — professional green pool recovery by Apex Jungle in Cape Town and surrounding suburbs.
Common causes we see across local homes
The sooner a green pool is treated, the easier and more affordable recovery usually is. Severe black or swamp-like pools may need more intensive cleaning and sometimes surface attention.
A clear, professional approach — with real Cape Town before & after results
We inspect the pool, equipment and water condition, then test chemistry so treatment is matched to how severe the algae problem is.
BEFORE
AFTER
Professional shock dosing and algaecide to kill active algae throughout the water and on surfaces — not just a light chlorine top-up.
Thorough physical cleaning of walls, floor, steps and corners where algae cling and regrow. Vacuuming removes dead algae and debris from the floor.
Backwash/rinse, clean the skimmer weir basket and pump strainer so circulation can clear the water properly. Dirty baskets and filters are a major recovery bottleneck.
BEFORE
AFTER
pH, alkalinity and sanitiser levels are brought back into the correct range so the pool stays clear and safe after recovery.
We confirm clarity and circulation, then advise on run times and follow-up so your Cape Town pool is less likely to turn green again.
