Why Gilbert Pools Turn Green

Gilbert's challenging desert climate creates unique conditions that can rapidly lead to green pool problems. Summer temperatures regularly exceeding 110°F from June through August accelerate algae growth when chemical levels drop even slightly. The intense UV radiation at our 1,200+ foot elevation breaks down chlorine faster than at lower elevations, requiring more frequent chemical monitoring.

Dust storms during monsoon season from July through September deposit significant debris that can clog filtration systems, while low humidity year-round causes pools to lose 1-2 inches of water weekly during summer months, concentrating contaminants. Many Gilbert homes in neighborhoods like Power Ranch, Agritopia, and Higley Groves feature pebble-tec or aggregate finishes that can harbor algae if not properly maintained.
