Algae Treatment and prevention for swimming pools:
This product is used to eliminate and control all types of stubborn pool algae growth in swimming pools. Not only does this product rid pools of algae, our unique formula contains a special clarifying agent to help clear water fast. This product can be used routinely, with most chlorine and bromine sanitizing systems, for water that remains algae free during the year.
When using other products in conjunction with this product, follow the instructions on those products. Never mix different products together in the same bottle or pail. This product is compatible with chlorine and bromine sanitizers. When chlorine levels are 4 ppm or less (bromine 6 ppm) or less) pool use may resume 15 minutes after applying this product to the water.
Prior to Application:
Clean the pool filter as necessary following the manufacturers instructions for backwashing or using a filter cleaning solution. Adjust pH of pool water to the ideal range of 7.2 to 7.6. Prior to using this product pools with heavy algae growth must be vacuumed. IF the pool is properly equipped, the vacuumed algae growth must be vacuumed directly out of the pool to waste.
Treatment of Visible Pool Algae:
Superchlorinate pool water prior to application and circulate 1 to 2 hours before moving to next step. Pools having light to medium pool algae growth, add 16 fluid ounces of this product per 10,000 gallons of water directly to the pool with the pool pump operating. Pools with heavy algae growth, add 24 fluid ounces per 10,000 gallons of water. Brush pool to increase circulation and to remove algae from pool walls and bottoms. Black algae must be brushed vigorously before and after application for best results. After applying, continuously operate pool pump for 24-48 hours. In cases of persistent algae, repeat brushing and product application after 3-4 days. Once pool is clear, clean the filter with a filter cleaning solution.
Algae Prevention:
For treatment of freshly filled, cleaned, or restored pools, add 16 fluid ounces of this product per 10,000 gallons of water directly into the pool. Maintenance additions of 4 fluid ounces of this product per 10,000 gallons of water must be made every 7 days after initial treatment. Additional applications may be needed after heavy rains. Brushing pool surfaces weekly will greatly reduce the chances of pool algae appearing.
