Importance of pool maintenance

Maintaining a clean and well-balanced pool is crucial for both the health of your swimmers and the longevity of your pool.

Causes of algae growth in swimming pools

Algae growth in swimming pools is caused by a combination of factors, including sunlight, warm temperatures, inadequate water balance and the presence of organic matter such as leaves or debris. These conditions create the perfect breeding ground for those pesky algae to flourish and turn your pool into a green nightmare.

Types of Algae Commonly Found in Swimming Pools

Algae come in different shapes, colors and sizes. The most common types of algae found in swimming pools are green algae, which gives your pool a vibrant green hue. There are also yellow or mustard algae, which can adhere to pool surfaces and resist normal cleaning methods. Finally, black algae are the most resistant of the group, known for their stubbornness and ability to form colonies deeply rooted in pool walls.

Impact of algae on pool water quality

In addition to being unsightly, algae can affect the water quality in your pool. They consume chlorine, reducing their effectiveness in killing harmful bacteria and other contaminants. This can lead to an increase in harmful microorganisms, making pool water unhealthy and potentially causing skin irritation or infections. By promptly addressing algae growth with Pool Algaecide, you can ensure that your pool water remains clean and safe for swimming.

How algaecide in swimming pools controls and prevents algae growth

Algaecide works by breaking down the cellular structure of algae, effectively destroying it and preventing its growth. It acts as a preventative measure, creating an inhospitable environment for the development of algae. By regularly adding Pool Algaecide to your pool, you can maintain a proactive defense against algae while keeping your pool water clear and inviting.
