Description :::
Algaecides are chemical substances that are specifically used to control or kill algae. It is a strong algae depressant fully compatible with alkalizing and flocculating agents normally used in swimming pools. Algae growth is the main cause of colour in swimming pool water.
Algaecides (or algicides) are used to control or suppress many species of planktonic, filamentous, and branched algae. Specifically that may be controlled or suppressed with algaecides include red macro-algae (Bangia atropurpurea), diatoms (Cyclotella cryptica, C. pseudostelligera and Stephanodiscus binderanus)2, and grass kelp (Enteromorpha flexuosa).
Algae are microscopic plants and can be the most common, troublesome aspect of pool maintenance
- Algae can make your pool water cloudy and murky
- Even before algae is visible, it can clog your filter and increase chlorine demand
- Algae usually start in hard-to-reach crevices in the pool surface or areas of poor circulation
Our algaecides stay active in your pool water, with minimal loss of effectiveness due to water temperature, sunlight or swimming use.
Application :::
Most pool supply distributors offer an astounding selection of algaecides and clarifiers for your swimming pool, and if you do not understand how they work, or what their uses are, it can be difficult to make the right choice. The following information will help you cut through the marketing hype, and decide for yourself which product is best for your swimming pool.
Add preventative algaecide to your swimming pool on a weekly basis if you regularly experience problems with algae growth. If you have never had an algae problem in your swimming pool, there is no need for the algaecide.
Realize that if you have algae right now, you may need to use an algaecide.Some algaecides are preventative and others are used to treat an algae problem. Once algae has grown in your swimming pool, only a treatment algaecide combined with shocking will kill the algae.
