Monday, March 03, 2025
Introduction: Why Does Algae Grow in Pools?
If your pool has turned green, slimy, or cloudy, you have an algae problem!
Algae grows when chlorine levels are too low, and if left untreated, it can stain your pool and become harder to remove.
Let’s break down how to eliminate and prevent algae from coming back!
1. What Causes Algae Growth?
- Low Chlorine Levels – The #1 cause of algae! Without proper chlorine, algae takes over.
- Poor Circulation – Stagnant water allows algae to form.
- High Phosphates & Warm Weather – Algae thrive in high phosphate conditions and warm pools.
2. How to Get Rid of Algae (Step-by-Step)
✅ Step 1: Test & Balance Chlorine
-Check free chlorine (keep between 1-3 ppm).
-If chlorine is low, add shock treatment immediately!
✅ Step 2: Brush & Vacuum Algae
-Brush walls, floors, and steps to loosen algae buildup.
-Use a manual vacuum to remove dead algae.
✅ Step 3: Run the Filter 24 Hours
-Keep water circulating to remove contaminants.
-Clean or replace filters if clogged.
