Description
xOverview
Pool Mate Premium Algaecide 50 comes in a convenient 1-quart bottle and is sold as a 2-pack. This non-metallic formula is designed to work with most pool chemicals and is suitable for metal, paint, plastic, and non-porous glazed tile surfaces when used as directed. No special equipment is required to treat your pool water, and the product can be added directly to the water or circulated through your existing equipment.
Made in the USA, this algaecide aims to help you maintain clear, inviting water by targeting the root of common algae growth without altering essential pool components. It supports routine maintenance by providing a straightforward dosing approach and flexible application around the pool perimeter.
Why it works
The formula is designed to inhibit algae growth, helping to keep water visually clean and free from slimy or discolored patches. It is versatile enough for all typical residential pool types, including vinyl, fiberglass, concrete, and gunite, and it stays non-metallic to minimize staining or surface interaction. This makes it a practical choice for households managing multiple pool surfaces with standard chemistries.
- Efficiently inhibits algae growth to help maintain clarity
- Keeps water looking clear and free of visible green or blue-green hues
- Compatible with a wide range of pool types and common chemicals
- Non-metallic formula designed to be gentle on pool surfaces
How to use
For best results, pour the product around the outside perimeter of the pool, and follow the steps below. After application, avoid swimming for about 15 minutes and ensure the pool system is running correctly.
- Backwash the filter thoroughly according to your equipment’s directions.
- Vacuum algae debris and thoroughly brush the pool to loosen growth.
- Initial dose: 5.2 oz per 10,000 gallons of water.
- Vacuum the pool again after 24 hours to remove dead algae.
- If algae remain visible, repeat the initial dose and brushing steps until the pool is clear.
- Once under control, clean the filter and resume normal operation.
Maintenance and adjustments
- Maintenance dose: 1.28 oz per 10,000 gallons every 3-5 days.
- Booster dose after heavy rainfall or high usage: 1.28 oz per 10,000 gallons.
- pH should be maintained between 7.2 and 7.6 for optimal effectiveness.
- Chlorine residual should stay in the 1–3 ppm range.
- In chlorine-treated pools, add stabilizer to reach 40–50 ppm to mitigate sunlight degradation of chlorine.
- Check for metals; if present, consider a stain and scale inhibitor to reduce staining risk.
Keep in mind that following label directions is important, and timing may vary with climate and pool usage. This product is designed to support routine maintenance and algae management without promising guaranteed outcomes.
