Algae. If the pool water has darkened, turned green, you probably have algae in your pool. Some types of algae can leave dark, hard-to-remove stains on the pool bottom. The causes of algae are sunlight, too little disinfectant in the water, improper water balance (alkalinity, pH and calcium level), poor water circulation, warm water, rough pool surfaces.
How to get rid of algae?
- Use a brush to remove algae from the floor and walls yourself, then collect it using a mechanical or electric pool cleaner.
- Clean or replace the filters.
- Check the pH of the water and make sure it ranges between 7.0 and 7.4.
- Clean the pool using chemicals such as "Chlorifix" or "Chloriklar".
- Perform algaecide with "Desalgine" or "Desalgine Jet".
- Leave the circulation pump on for at least 24 hours, or until the pool water is clean.
- Use the "Superflock Plus" cartridge for cleaning and reduce the build-up of turbidity.
The best way to kill algae growth in pools is to avoid pool environments that encourage algae growth. Chlorine is a chemical that is commonly used to combat algae. Although chlorine may be sufficient to combat some algae, it may be powerless against residual algae that build up in the filter and where chlorine cannot effectively combat it. A great option to complement the use of chlorine is algaecides.
In this category, we offer you to purchase the algicide "Desalgine Jet", which has a broad-spectrum effect against all types of algae, clarifies water, does not foam, so it is perfect for pools with massage systems.
