Swimming Pool Care Algae Guard, Swimming Pool Chemical, 32 fl oz

When we put our pool up many years ago we didn't have any great options that kept it away from trees. I had to either deal with the leaves falling off the trees into the pool or cut the trees down. I was not going to cut the trees down. Every year it seems I am having to deal with at least two outbreaks of algae growth in the pool, possibly due to the leaves falling into the pool. Before I opened the pool this year I did some research on preventing algae. What I found was make sure the pool water is stabilized, chlorine level is always kept at the proper level and all other required chemicals are kept at their proper level. I've been doing that every year but still got algae. This year I decided to use an algaecide along with regular chemical maintenance. I followed the instructions for initial treatment for my pool size and added that amount. I'm also adding 2 ounces to my 15,000 gallon pool every 5 days. A bit more than recommended, but to date I have not had any algae problems. And now that I said that I'll probably have an issue. :-) But it's getting late in the season for where I live, we close the pool right after labor day, and so far no issues with algae. I'm going to attribute my lack of algae growth to this product. The addition of this algaecide is the only thing that's changed from previous years when I was having an algae problem. And it's been hot this year and heat typically aids in algae growth. Product seems to be working well for me. It's worth a shot if you have algae issues.

Have used this on my inground pool during summer months when I have problems w green algae. Clears the pool pretty fast. It does on occasion leave bubbles on surface for a day or 2 so recommend not using pool for 24 to 48 hrs. But it does clear the pool of algae

I'm located in FL and would constantly fight issues with my inground pool for the last 2 years. Daily I'd vacuum the floor and walls, change my filter for one that would get soaked overnight in muriatic acid and power washed the next day before the swap. Always green if I skip a day. This first picture isn't even at its worst. After using this brand shock as well as this product, chlorine at 4ppm and I use Arm and Hammer Clear Balance tabs. After 24 hours of shock with pump running, added this product and clear balance tabs, brushed and vacuumed walls and floor, water was cloudy and foamy, so follow directions to a T because anymore and I'd have probably had sludge build up. After 48 hours, nothing was growing back on the walls or floor, and 72 hours later, my water was crystal clear and still no growth anywhere. Of course still changed filter between all this. Second photo is now a week later, last night before this picture I added the maintenance dose. Every time I've pulled the filter it has way less discoloration and now I'm going to change it every 2-3 days and see what happens. Great product. Easy to use. Visual and fast results. Just follow instructions.

This is a very good product. Works better than others that I have tried. However one of my ordered was undeliverable it leaked so badly and the next one that I received was leaking all around the bottle.

This product is amazing! My pool has never been this blue. We recently had a tropical storm come through our area dumping massive amounts of rain which caused an ugly mustard algae bloom. I must have dumped 5 gallons of chlorine into it over the course of a week and the algae wouldn't budge - it actually got worse. In desperation, I ordered this product. We put 14 fluid ounces in immediately. It lightened up the pool, but there was still some algae present, so we added the rest of the 32 ounce bottle the next day. Overnight the algae disappeared and the pool got even bluer as time went on.There is currently no chlorine left in the pool and it is still blue with no signs of algae. I put the last of the product in on Monday and today is Friday. This product works miracles. I wish I had known about it sooner as I could have saved myself a ton of money and grief. Other users have mentioned having trouble with foam. We have had zero foam. The only thing I can think is maybe the product is interacting with other chemicals present in their water, because we have had no foam and we used the whole bottle. Excellent product. I highly recommend for stubborn algae problems.
