Algaecides

Algaecides chemical is good for treating pools that have gone green over the winter.

Algaecide chemicals are essential tools for maintaining the cleanliness and health of your swimming pool. They effectively combat the growth of algae and other small organisms that thrive in damp conditions, particularly during the winter months when pools may be left untreated. In this article, we will discuss the different types of algaecide treatments and their effectiveness in keeping your pool sparkling clean.

Algaecide Chemical Treatment

There are two primary types of algaecide chemical treatments that can be used to treat algae growth in your pool: Longlife Algaecide and Standard Algaecide.

Longlife Algaecide – This type of algaecide is specifically designed for inground pools.

Benefits – Longlife Algaecide offers a longer-lasting effect on algae growth, meaning you won’t need to apply it as frequently as a standard algaecide. This makes it a more cost-effective solution in the long run.

Usage – To use Longlife Algaecide effectively, ensure that the pool water is of good quality, as the treatment won’t clear murky water or water with poor test results. Apply the algaecide according to the manufacturer’s instructions for the best results.

Standard Algaecide –  Standard algaecide is suitable for both above ground and inground pools.

Benefits – This type of algaecide is highly effective at killing green algae and is a more affordable option for pool owners.

Usage – Similar to Longlife Algaecide, Standard Algaecide requires good quality water for effective treatment. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application.

Algaecide and Chlorine – Algaecides work in conjunction with chlorine to kill algae effectively. The combination of these two chemicals causes the algae cells to burst, ultimately killing the plant. It’s crucial to use both treatments to maintain a clean and healthy pool environment.
