Product Description

Compatible with most swimming pool chemicals and when used as directed, is not harmful to the metal, paint, plastic or non-porous glazed tile surfaces of the pool. This product requires no special equipment for treating swimming pool water. The correct use dilution may be added directly to the pool in any spot or added to the water-circulation equipment. This product works best when added directly to the water by pouring around the outside perimeter of the pool. Do not allow swimming in pool for at least 15 minutes after this product has been applied. Ensure all pool equipment is working properly. Backwash the filter system following manufacturer’s directions. Adjust pH between 7.2-7.6. Adjust chlorine residual to 1-3 ppm. In a chlorine treated pool, add stabilizer to establish a minimum level of 40-50 ppm to reduce the degradative effects of sunlight upon the chlorine residual. Check for metals and if present, add stain and scale inhibitor to prevent staining of pool surface due to metals. Check chlorine residual and adjust to 1-3 ppm. 1. Backwash the filter thoroughly. 2. Vacuum algae debris and thoroughly brush pool. 3. Add 5.2 oz. of this product per 10,000 gal. of water. 4. Vacuum pool after 24 hours to remove dead algae. 5. If algae are still visible, repeat steps 3 & 4 as necessary until pool is free of visible algae. 6. Once algae are under control, clean filter and return to normal operation. Maintenance Dose: Add 1.28 oz. of this product per 10,000 gal. of water every 3-5 days. If high temperatures prevail or pool has unusually heavy use, add maintenance dose more frequently. Booster dose: Add 1.28 oz. of this product per 10,000 gal. of water after a heavy or prolonged rainfall or when there is a heavy bathing load. The directions should be followed even when the pool is not in use. If algae growth is noticeable, apply initial dose.

So many of these products are overpriced. This worked great on my algae in my saltwater pool when the chlorine went down for lack of salt. I poured it in around the edges, brushed the sides and the next day it was almost gone. I put a bit more in a few places and brushed again. Keeping a better eye on the chlorine now, but I always use this at least twice a year.

Size: 2-PackStyle: Pool AlgaecideVerified Purchase

I was struggling with a light algae bloom for several weeks. Shocked my pool and it still didn't get rid of the algae. Shocked again a couple weeks later and followed up the next day with Pool Mate algaecide and the algae was almost completely gone within 24 hours.
The pool did have a stronger chlorine like smell for a couple of days, but it wasn't a big deal and didn't linger too long. I chose this brand as the price was very reasonable, and it said that it controlled most types of algae. Some of the other algaecides only listed green algae. Overall, a great product, glad I purchased the 2 pack.

I'll admit I was skeptical and surprised with the results.

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2018

Size: 2-PackStyle: Pool AlgaecideVerified Purchase

I have a 36,000 gallon liner pool and since the liner is ending the end of its lifespan started thinning and developing black algae spots on the bottom. I was told that the only solution was to replace the liner and since I am trying to get a couple more years out of it, I bought this stuff as a last resort.

I was very skeptical it would work but followed the directions and waited. The bubbles are only a minor nuisance but the smell is unpleasant and I would recommend not swimming for at least a week. We had a two day rain storm come through and I was unable to sweep. On the third morning I went to backwash and noticed the spots changed color to a light brown. I took the brush on them and was amazed that about 80% of it is now gone. Again not completely but I am happy with the results.

Will it come back? Probably but at least I found a way to keep them at bay.

Size: 2-PackStyle: Pool AlgaecideVerified Purchase

We were gone for two weeks and came back to a pool that was green and brown. After trying the usual products that didn’t work, we thought we were going to have to drain the pool. My husband was in Home Depot and saw this product and thought he would give it a try. By the next day the pool was crystal clear! We were amazed. It happened again when we were away and as soon as we used it the pool cleared up. I liked the product so much I ordered some for my cousin because her pool was in the same situation. This is a fantastic product for a very inexpensive price.

I usually buy all my pool cleaning products locally, but lately the price of everything has skyrocketed. I gave this a try based on other's reviews and it was a gem of a product. I had a real problem with algae this summer and this really did the trick. I will use this from here on out.

I use this as a pool professional

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2020

Size: 4-PackStyle: Pool AlgaecideVerified Purchase

I operated a pool service company for 20 years and used this product [chemical formula] for all of those years. Though it is called an algaecide, it is better known as an algaestat [for prevention of the growth of algae], than as a chemical to do a clean up. Overall, this is a very good and safe chemical to use, with the formula on this going back about 80 years.

Once you actually have algae, your kill and cleanup needs to be done with something like chlorine or some other oxidizer. Once dead, reestablish a startup dose of this algaecide and it will work to help cover the ups and downs of your sanitizer balances so that you don't have a sudden bloom of algae because your chlorine count got a little low or the pH changed to reduce the sanitizer effectiveness. Be sure to know the volume of your pool and follow the recommended dosing. If you don't do the startup dose, the maintenance doses will be ineffective.

This is probably the most widely distributed chemical as an algaecide, with the other one being a copper based one. I won't touch the copper though. It's fine in its initial form and it does work. However, once it becomes unchelated, it can have some unpleasant effects such as turning bleached hair green.

Also as a note, this is the same chemical used by Lysol in their sanitizer wipes. With a calculator and your algebra skills, you can use this and some baby wipes to make replacement and highly effective wipes.
