Pollen Season and Your Pool

Every spring in Port St. Lucie, the same thing happens.

You walk outside, look at your pool, and it looks like someone dusted it with yellow powder.

That’s pollen.

Pine, oak, and palm trees start releasing it this time of year, and the wind carries it straight into your pool.

It floats on the surface, clogs filters fast, and quietly burns through chlorine, which is why pools can start looking cloudy this time of year.

The tricky part?

You can skim it today… and tomorrow it’s back again.

That’s because pollen season isn’t a one-day thing. It’s weeks of constant buildup.

A few quick tips

• Skim the surface often — pollen floats, so removing it early helps
• Run your pump longer during heavy pollen weeks
• Clean your filter more often — that yellow dust packs them quickly
• Watch your chlorine levels — pollen increases demand

If you stay ahead of it, your pool stays clear.

If you don’t… pollen can open the door for algae.

And that’s when things get expensive.
