How are recovery levels decided?

Level 1 is a light green tint; level 5 is opaque, debris-heavy water that may require a drain evaluation. Each level maps to expected hours and chemical use.

Will one visit fix it?

Lighter cases often clear in a visit or two; heavier algae usually needs several treatments and filter cleanings.

Is the chemical cost exact?

It's a range — actual chemical usage is confirmed after on-site water testing.
