Swimming Pool Algae
Swimming Pool Algae
I always thought that algae in water a good sign for a healthy water flora is. Living things, like algae, like to live in healthy places, with no harsh chemicals around, like chlorine. I wonder why a little algae bothers us so much. People are weird.
Hey, does anyone know about the service that this company - Ameraguard provides? (Spray-on coating?) I want to get it for my truck bed and boat, but would like to hear any and all experiences with it. Thanks!

Swimming Pool Algae
It's a nice read. As far as I know algae develops when everything is not balanced. It might be that the water quality is not in good condition so you better check your filter. Exposure to the sun/light can be a cause to water algae too, if you can't cover the pool then you really need to clean it manually and regularly.

Swimming Pool Algae
Algae is a living aquatic creature that multiplies rapidly on warm sunny days. It enters the pool by wind, rain or even by contaminated swim suits or equipment. Algae can cloud and color the water and may also have an E-coli bacteria. Proper swimming pool cleaning and maintenance done on a weekly basis will be helpful.

Re: Swimming Pool Algae
E-coli has nothing to do with algae and it cannot reproduce in the pool. E-coli is found exclusively in the intestinal tract of mammals and can only be found in water that has been contaminated by fecal waste or poor personal hygiene.
Re: Swimming Pool Algae
It has been my experience that to get rid of algea you must add algicide and shock the pool.

Re: Swimming Pool Algae
Algae, in general, can be harmful to human beings. I have a swimming pool which was built by an inground pool builder from brampton http://www.poolhelpforum.com/areas-serviced/swimming-pool-builders-contractors-brampton/ and last year I had a lot of green algae in my swimming pool. Algae are toxic in nature and easily deplete the level of oxygen in the water. I got rid of it by shocking the water with chlorine. This is one of the best ways to get rid of algae from the water.
Re: Swimming Pool Algae
My problem seems academic but I can't solve it.
Since opening up every problem has dogged me getting a clear pool.
multiport replaced , 3 way valve replaced , pump almost new .
chemical levels checked and maintained . Filter seems fine--backwashes ok , but the bottom line is a pool which is clean at the shallow end and dark green in the deep.
I have applied Floc ( twice ) and yesterday Algicide maximum dose but the dark green persists and the bottom is permanently cloudy .
Any suggestions appreciated .

Re: Swimming Pool Algae
You say chemical levels checked and maintained
Who does this and with what?
Stop putting floc and algecide in
Can you give these numbers

Re: Swimming Pool Algae
Hello,
Swimming pool algae generally occurs when your pool lacks proper sanitation, and the water isn’t circulating, algae will grow. That’s why it’s important to keep the pool water moving with your pump and filter. If you want to prevent your pool from the algae then you should clean the pool daily and use chemicals.

You are correct in saying you need proper sanitation but this would be in relation to your Chlorine / CYA Chart anything different is a waste of time. Also check out recommended Pool Levels
This is why we recommend a decent test kit to know your correct levels, pool stores abd strips are widely inaccurate
Pump runtime would be for individual pools to determine, no fixed time
Mixing chemicals
Cleaning
Heating

Hello,
There are three types of swimming pool algae such as green or blue algae, yellow or mustard algae, or black algae etc. To prevent your pools from algae you can use chemicals.

As discussed earlier, you must keep the pool chlorinated to avoid algae growth.
