This algaecide provides effective prevention/control of algae growth in all types of swimming pools. Even though it affords long-term algae control, periodic additions on a scheduled basis will assure lasting algae control. For heavy algal infestations, more drastic treatment such as superchlorination may be required to eradicate the algae. Dilute this product with at least (9) parts water and sprinkle around edge of pool. Add additional amounts of this product every two weeks according to the directions in the dilution chart below. For best results, begin pool maintenance with this product according to the size of pool as given in the chart. Water treated with this product may be used for swimming immediately after treatment.
How to Estimate Gallon Capacity of your Pool:
Measure length(L), width(W), and average depth(D) in feet.
- For square or rectangular pools: L x W x D x 7.5= Gallons.
- For circular or elliptical pools: L x W x D x 5.9= Gallons.
