## 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.

Review: Cleans algae - Does its job. I recommend it
Review: Most effective for the money - Bought my house a couple years ago, and it had a great pool built about 20 years ago. The coping, as in all older pools, gets pits and crevices and these small areas, mostly on the pool floor, get stubborn black algae. I learned to keep track of my own pool. Though the rest of the pool looks great, there was stubborn black dots around on the floor and on the walls that were just impossible to make go away. My pool is 21k gallons so I poured in the whole bottle of Algeacide 50. I tried to pour around the edges where the greatest concentrations of black algae was on walls and seating areas. Pool was already PH, Alkalinity and Chlorine balanced so after pouring in this treatment I let the filter run. (I have free electricity on the weekends so that's when I initiated this process). You will not notice anything for a day or even two but you will be pleasantly surprised after 5 days to a week. I initially took to the pool with my metal pool brush after pouring in the entire bottle, and would hit it again every other day. My pool is so clean now, and so free of black algae, that I'm almost in shock (pun intended). I have several fountains and spill into the pool from the filter. These created some mild, localized foam for a week or so but it is a small aesthetic price to pay for the amazing effectiveness of this product in completely ridding your pool of all stubborn algea!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I use this as a pool professional
*by P***C on June 17, 2020*

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.
