Storm outage + heavy algae bloom
Storm contamination and an active algae bloom required calculated treatment, circulation support and removal of suspended material.
Green Pool Recovery
From green, cloudy and stalled to clear and controlled.
Professional green pool recovery across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Maitland, with water analysis, condition-based treatment and filtration support matched to the pool.

The service in one sentence
We restore sanitation, circulation, clarity and control.
Integra combines water testing, calculated treatment, circulation and filtration checks, debris removal and follow-up recommendations to restore control of the pool.
Green Pool Recovery is condition-based work. Mild algae, heavy contamination, storm events, neglected pools and equipment failures do not require the same labour or chemical pathway.
Integra confirms what is likely to be required after reviewing pool photos, equipment condition, access and current water state. A severe pool may need several stages rather than a single attendance.

No false fixed-price promise.
Assessment allows the likely scope, exclusions and next steps to be confirmed before the job proceeds.
Recovery showcase
Real recovery examples from different starting conditions.
Green pools can look similar at first glance, but the cause, equipment condition and recovery pathway can be very different.
Rental handover recovery
Condition, likely cause, work completed and what the owner or manager needed next.
Opaque water to visible floor
A technically difficult recovery where clarity depended on filtration and return attendance.
Before recovery
Recovery video
Clear resultFifteen years unused—from yabby pond and water lilies back to a functioning pool.
Because of the extremely high coastal groundwater table, the pool could not be drained below the skimmer. The original shell had previously lifted during installation, so recovery was completed with the water largely in place. Cosmetic stain treatment will follow separately.
More than ordinary algae treatment
Flooded, abandoned and technically difficult pools.
Integra can assess pools affected by severe neglect, stormwater, prolonged shutdowns and equipment failures, including residential, rental and managed-property sites.
Flood and storm recovery
Contaminated water after runoff, storms or extended shutdown.
Flooded pools may involve heavy organic contamination, debris, diluted sanitation and equipment that must be checked before normal treatment can resume.
Neglected and abandoned pools
When the pool has been left beyond routine maintenance.
Long-term neglect can involve opaque water, heavy algae, accumulated debris, blocked circulation and uncertain equipment condition.
Recovery severity
Not every green pool is the same job.
Recovery scope increases with algae load, debris, water chemistry, access and the condition of the filtration system.
MildActiveHeavySevere
Water condition
Colour, clarity, algae load, sanitiser demand and existing chemistry.
Debris level
Leaves, organic matter, runoff and floor visibility affect labour.
Equipment health
Pump, filter, valves and chlorination must support recovery.
Access and disposal
Vacuum-to-waste and site conditions can materially change scope.
Recovery pathway
Four stages, adapted to the pool in front of us.
The exact sequence and number of visits are determined by the pool condition and how the equipment responds.
Assess
Water testing, pool volume, surface, access and equipment operation.
Treat
Calculated sanitation, oxidation, algae control, brushing and debris removal.
Remove
Filtration, settling, backwashing, vacuuming or vacuum-to-waste.
Stabilise
Retest, balance, confirm clarity and recommend maintenance or repairs.
Scope clarity
Recovery work is not disguised as an ordinary service visit.
Recovery attendance may include
- Water analysis and treatment calculations
- Circulation, filtration and chlorination assessment
- Brushing and accessible debris removal
- Calculated treatment and routine filter attention
- Progress photos, readings and technician notes
Charged separately when required
- Chemicals and treatment products
- Additional or return recovery visits
- Extended vacuuming or vacuum-to-waste
- Major filter work or media replacement
- Pump, chlorinator, valve or plumbing repairs
Important: Photos improve triage but cannot establish water chemistry, confirm internal equipment condition or guarantee a one-visit recovery.
FAQ
The essential recovery questions.
Can a green pool be fixed in one visit?
Sometimes, but not responsibly promised in advance. Severe contamination can require treatment time, filtration cycles and follow-up attendance.
How much does recovery cost?
Cost depends on water condition, debris, access, chemicals, labour, filter performance and equipment faults.
Are chemicals included?
Chemicals should be listed separately unless a written quote explicitly includes them.
Can I swim during recovery?
No. The pool should remain closed until clarity, sanitation and balance have been verified.
