If you live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, you’re currently witnessing the “Great Yellowing.” Pine and oak pollen are coating everything from your windshield to your patio furniture—but the biggest victim is your pool.
At Precision Pool and Patio, we’ve seen what happens when that yellow dust is left to sit for more than a week. It isn’t just an eyesore; it’s a biological catalyst that can throw your entire system out of whack.
Why a Weekly Schedule is Non-Negotiable
In our coastal humidity, timing is everything. Here is why our team treats pollen removal as a high-priority task during a Mississippi spring:
• Algae’s Favorite Food: Pollen is essentially “algae fuel.” It’s packed with phosphates that can render your chlorine useless in a matter of days. If you skip a week of cleaning, you aren’t just looking at dust—you’re looking at a potential green bloom.
• The “Coastal Paste” Effect: When heavy pine pollen meets our 90% humidity, it becomes sticky. It clogs filter grids and settles into the pores of your pool’s surface. If it isn’t brushed and filtered out weekly, it can lead to stubborn organic staining.
• Pressure Problems: Small as it is, pollen is dense. It can spike your filter’s PSI (pressure) faster than almost any other debris, putting unnecessary strain on your pump motor.
The Precision Advantage: Certified Expertise
What sets Precision Pool and Patio apart isn’t just that we show up; it’s the training behind the person poolside.
Every pool we service is managed under the standards of CPO (Certified Pool Operator) training. While most see “yellow water,” our technicians see a chemical equation that needs balancing. We understand the science of “organic loading”—knowing exactly how much chlorine is being consumed by the pollen and how to offset it before the water turns cloudy.
We don’t just “splash and dash.” We use professional-grade techniques to ensure that even the finest oak dust is captured and removed, keeping your equipment running efficiently and your water crystal clear.
Stop Fighting the Pine. Start Enjoying the Water.
You didn’t build a pool so you could spend your Saturdays battling the trees. Let the certified experts at Precision Pool and Patio handle the science, the scrubbing, and the seasonal spikes.
