Controlling Pool Algae

How to eliminate pool algae

The simplest way of eliminating your pool of algae is to remove nutrients it needs to grow. By keeping sanitiser levels up and removing the the nutrient ‘phosphate’ is the one of the easiest methods to help prevent or slow algae growth and thus the algae will struggle to grow. However Algae are spores are extremely small and in some cases algae has become immune to the normal sanitiser that algaecide is necessary. There are many of these chemical treatment options available and your local pool shop or Jim’s Pool Care technician can guide you on which one is the best for you. Once the algae dies, the residue will need to be brushed and vacuumed from the pool’s surface so the filtration process can take place, leaving the pool clean and clear.
