Stop algae before it starts. Proactive chemistry and surface care for Florida pools.

Florida's heat, humidity, and afternoon storms create ideal conditions for algae year-round. Water temperatures above 80 degrees, organic debris, and fertilizer runoff all feed algae growth. Once a bloom takes hold, recovery costs far more in money and in days your pool sits unusable.
Our algae prevention program is built into weekly service. Consistent chlorine, balanced pH, phosphate management, and regular brushing keep algae from ever gaining a foothold. We adjust the program for Florida's climate, not a generic national approach.
Phosphate Management
Phosphates are algae food. Many pool services skip phosphate testing entirely. We include it because organic debris, fertilizer runoff, and environmental factors push phosphate levels up over time. Managing phosphates proactively removes the fuel algae needs to bloom.
Consistent Chemistry, Every Week
Algae thrives the moment chlorine drops below the protective threshold. Weekly testing and adjustment keep your sanitizer stable so spores never get the chance to colonize. We also apply preventive algaecide treatments at the right intervals for the season.
How Algae Prevention Works
Chemical Assessment
We test your water's phosphate levels, chlorine stability, and pH balance to identify vulnerabilities.
Preventive Treatment
Professional-grade algaecide applied at the right intervals for Florida's climate.
Surface Brushing
Consistent brushing of walls and floor removes algae spores before they can colonize.
Ongoing Monitoring
Weekly chemical testing catches imbalances before algae has a chance to grow.
Why Choose Funtow Lagoons for Algae Prevention
Prevention Costs Less Than Cleanup
A green pool cleanup costs significantly more than maintaining proper chemistry week over week. Algae prevention is included in our weekly cleaning service because it saves you money and headaches.
Florida Climate Expertise
Algae thrives in Pasco County's warm, humid conditions. Our prevention program is designed specifically for Florida's climate, not a generic national approach. We know when algae pressure peaks and adjust accordingly.
Phosphate Testing in your area
Phosphates feed algae growth. Many pool services skip phosphate testing. We include it because your area's organic debris, fertilizer runoff, and environmental factors create phosphate levels that must be managed proactively.
