The Basics of Treating Algae
Always use algaecides safely. Always read the label and product information before use. REMEMBER: During any algae treatment use of the pool is prohibited until it has been correctly rebalanced. 1. T horoughly backwash the filter - This enables maximum circulation and collection of debris. 2. p H Reduction to 6.8 - This weakens the outer cellular structure of the algae. 3. B rush - Brushing with a suitable algae brush will further break down the structure weakening it.
4. S hock Chlorination - Adding a registered disinfectant to the water will penetrate and kill the algae for further brushing. 5. R un the pump and filter for 24 hours - This enables adequate dispersion of the product. 6. A dd a Lo-Chlor Phosphate Remover - Ideally, this should be done after the 24 hours BUT can be done before or after dosing the algaecide. 7. R ebalance the Pool - It is important post-treatment that you rebalance the pool ensuring all parameters are back within the recommended levels. When using Lo-Chlor Algaecides as a preventative dose (i.e. with no algae present), wait one turnover period before recommencing bathing.
