What are Anti-algae Products?
Anti-algae agents are chemical treatments designed to suppress the growth of algae in water. Algae can be green, blue-green, black or yellow and thrive in warm, standing water that is rich in nutrients. Anti-algae agents contain active ingredients such as copper salts, quaternary ammonium compounds, and benzalkonium chloride, which kill the algae cells or inhibit their growth.
Important Benefits of Anti-Algae Remedies
Clear Water Quality: Controlling algae keeps the water clear and visually appealing.
Protection of the Filter System: Prevents algae from clogging the filter system, which can increase maintenance costs.
Efficiency of Sanitizers: Algae can consume chlorine, requiring more chlorine to keep the pool clean. Controlling algae makes chlorine more effective.
Safety and Comfort: Algae can make surfaces slippery, which is dangerous for swimmers. Anti-algae agents help minimize this risk.
Use of Anti-algae Products
Regular Maintenance: Add anti-algae agents as part of your regular pool maintenance schedule, usually weekly or as recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaning: Make sure the pool is cleaned regularly, including scrubbing the walls and bottom, to prevent algae from taking hold.
Water balance: Keep the pH, alkalinity and other chemical levels of the pool in balance to ensure effective action of the anti-algae products.
Tips for Purchase and Use
Choose the Right Product: Some products are specifically designed for certain types of algae. Read labels carefully to find the right product for your needs.
Safety: Always wear protective clothing and follow package instructions for safe use.
