How this tool works
- The base is this site's posted "Green pool cleanup" range.
- How green the water is and the pool size move you within that range: light green and small pools use the lower half, a swamp or a large pool the upper half, everything else the full range. The halves are split at the range's midpoint; no new prices are made up.
- If the filter is clogged or the pump is not running, the matching range from the same price list is added as its own line.
- For a black swamp, the drain-and-acid-wash range is shown as the alternative a pro may recommend.
- Every dollar figure is read from this site's own price table at build time. The contractor quotes your actual pool.

Quick answers
How much does green pool cleanup cost in Tempe?
The typical Tempe-area range posted on this site is in the price table on this page. Light algae in a small pool sits at the low end; a dark swamp or a big pool sits at the high end.
Will a green pool need to be drained?
Most green pools are cleared with shock, brushing and filtration without draining. A pro may suggest a drain and acid wash for a black swamp that has sat for months; the estimator shows that range as an alternative.
Why does equipment matter?
Algae comes back if the pump does not circulate or the filter is clogged, so a pro fixes those first. The estimator adds those repairs as separate lines from the same price list.
