Pollen affects more than appearance
North Georgia pollen can collect on the surface, cling to the waterline, settle on steps, and load baskets and filters. Its yellow or green cast can also be confused with algae, but the two conditions are not treated the same way.
Circulation and filtration carry more work
As organic material enters the water, the circulation and filtration system has more to remove. Baskets may fill faster, filter pressure may change, and sheltered corners can collect visible material between visits.
Consistency is more useful than one dramatic cleanup
During heavy pollen periods, recurring skimming, brushing, basket care, filtration awareness, and water testing help keep normal seasonal demand from turning into a larger water-quality problem.
Every property is different
Pools surrounded by mature trees may face much more pollen and debris than open properties. Wind, landscaping, covers, circulation, and cleaning systems also affect how quickly the pool changes.
