A green pool is a pool losing hours every single day. We bring it back to that first-day-blue — and keep it there.
We service every pool type — residential & commercial
A neglected pool isn't just cloudy — it's a breeding ground, an energy drain, and a safety risk that grows every day you wait.
In Pittsburgh's humid summer, a pool without sanitizer can grow algae in under two days — and once it blooms, recovery costs 3× more.
An overworked pump fighting a clogged filter burns extra electricity and burns out sooner. Balanced water lets equipment rest.
We return your water to that first-day-blue — perfectly balanced, sanitized, and ready to dive into. Then we keep it there.
We don't just skim and dip a test strip. Every visit includes a precision 7-point chemical analysis, then micro-adjustments measured to the part-per-million. The result is water so balanced it practically sparkles.

"Came back from vacation to a green swamp. Recovered Pools had it crystal clear in two days. They're now on our weekly plan and the pool has never looked better."

"I tried managing chemicals myself for two seasons and fought algae every August. Handed it off to these folks and haven't touched a test strip since. Worth every penny."

"They caught a failing pump seal before it killed my motor during equipment audit. Saved me a $1,200 replacement. Honest, thorough, and they actually show up on time."

For Pittsburgh's short but intense pool season (May–September), weekly service keeps water balanced and debris-free. Bi-weekly works for lightly used pools with covers. Homes near trees, busy roads, or with heavy bather loads benefit from weekly to prevent algae blooms that thrive in our humid summers.
Absolutely — it's our specialty. A green pool means algae has taken over. We shock, flocculate, vacuum, and rebalance. Most recoveries take 24–48 hours to turn from green to crystal. Severe cases may need a partial drain and acid wash, which we handle end-to-end.
Nope. As long as we have pool access and your equipment is unlocked, we service while you're at work, on vacation, or just relaxing. You'll get a service log after every visit showing exactly what we did and your chemical readings.
