Removing Swimming Pool algae

Pool Algae can frequently happen when warmer temperatures occur.  There are  several things that can be done to remove and prevent future out breaks of algae.  There are 3 types of algae that you will typically find in a pool Green algae, mustard algae and black algae.  Let us focus on green and mustard algae.  Both can be found together if chlorine levels are low.  It is best to treat green algae with shocking pool first with liquid chlorine or a dry chlorine that will dissolve quickly. Many dry chlorine products have stabilizer in them if your stabilizer levels are low.  Mustard algae can be resistant to just shocking the pool so it needs to be treated with a product for mustard algae and combined with shocking pool.  The products used in mustard algae enhance the chlorine in the pool and you will find a higher demand for chlorine.  If  you are able to it is recommend to check chlorine levels after a couple of days.  Filter cleaning is important in removing and preventing future algae outbreaks.  Especially cleaning after several days of treatment.  Increasing run times can speed up the process of clean up time.  Vacuuming and brushing pool prior to treatment is recommended along with proper water balance.Visit us at seabreezepool.net
