Transform your pool into a crystal-clear oasis with our powerful 1 Litre Algaecide. This superior solution is specially formulated to eradicate algae for up to half a season in an average-sized domestic pool, giving you peace of mind and a pristine swimming environment. Phosphates, commonly found in water due to environmental factors and organic waste, serve as a vital nutrient for algae growth. By targeting and eliminating this food source, our Algaecide effectively starves algae, preventing their proliferation in your pool. Algae, though harmless in small quantities, can quickly turn your pool water into a murky, green mess, making it unappealing and potentially hazardous. These microscopic plants not only discolor the water but also create slippery surfaces on pool structures, posing risks to swimmers in distress. When nitrogen and phosphorus compounds enter the water, they further fuel algae growth, exacerbating the problem. Our Algaecide tackles this issue head-on, disrupting the algae’s life cycle and preventing their regrowth, ensuring your pool stays clean and inviting. For effective algae elimination, follow these simple steps: Firstly, shock dose your pool by raising the free chlorine levels to the recommended concentrations based on the water’s condition. This process is crucial for killing existing algae and preventing their return. Next, physically remove any visible algae by brushing and, if necessary, scraping off stubborn strains. Ensure thorough cleaning by vacuuming and filtering out these residues, maintaining a pristine pool environment. To prevent future algae outbreaks, introduce our long-lasting Algicide into the water. Formulated with copper chelate, this Algicide slowly releases copper ions into the water, creating an inhospitable environment for algae. Maintain the optimal copper levels to effectively inhibit algae growth without risking copper deposition or unwanted side effects. With our Algaecide, you can enjoy a clear, algae-free pool that’s safe and inviting for all swimmers. Say goodbye to green water and slippery surfaces, and hello to a sparkling pool that’s a joy to dive into. Invest in our Algaecide today and experience the difference in water clarity and quality! Manufacturers description: 1 Litre Will Eradicate Algae For Half A Season In An Average Sized Domestic Pool. Water always contains phosphates. The quantity is determined by the quality of the water and the environmental contamination. Virtually all organic waste will increase phosphate levels. Phosphate is a nutrient for algae and by removing this food source algae cannot survive. Algicides are a vital ingredient to control the nuisance of algae in swimming pool and spa water. Algae are microscopic single cell plants. They exist in most water, from fish tanks to reservoirs. Whilst not directly harmful, they are undesirable in swimming pools as they discolour the water- usually green, which is most uninviting to the swimmer. Eventually the water can become opaque and dangerous in that a bather in difficulty may not be seen. The pool structure will also be slippery if algae are attached to it. Nitrogen can be introduced into the water by bather contamination. Shock treatment, itself a good method of killing algae ensures that some nitrogen is released as a gas rather than staying in the water as an assortment of nitrogen compounds. Phosphorus can is introduced into the water in a variety of ways. Phosphorus will eventually revert to orthophosphates which is what algae really likes. HOW TO ELIMINATE ALGAE Shock dose by raising the free chlorine level to above 10 parts per million if the water is a greenish colour and up to 25 parts per million if you can’t see the bottom. This treatment should be done whilst bathers are prevented from entering the water. Brush algae from the structure of the pool. The more virulent types such as black and mustard varieties may need scraping off. Vacuum and remove these residues by the pool filtration. Introduce algicide into the water. This will most likely be in the form of copper chelate which slowly releases copper into the water, hence the term “longlife algicide”. Aim for an intial free copper level of 0.8 p.p.m and maintain at 0.4 parts per million. Don’t overdo it, otherwise copper may start to deposit on metal surfaces and it may turn your hair blue! Or use the alternative non-copper type.
