Questions & Answers

Is it possible to combine bromine with this product?

Because my pool is chlorine, you'll have to ask In The Swim about using Bromine.

My pool's walls are covered in black algae growth. Is this the most suitable product for the task at hand?

You should probably use a mix of chlorine-based and copper-based products. Based on this product, and algea control (sold under a variety of names), which increases the ability of chlorine to penetrate algae cells. The higher the copper content, the more bang for your buck; however, don't use too much or you'll end up with copper staining; also, be careful to keep the copper level constant or you'll have the same problem all over again; the algea consumes the copper and dies; therefore, as it works to kill the algae, the copper level will decrease. Stability is the key to keeping algea at bay; a consistent level of chlorine, copper, and algicide will keep your pool in good shape. more difficult to achieve than stated

What is it about this product that makes it illegal to sell it in some states? You can swim right after using it, according to the description. Is it prudent to do so?

I'm not sure what would cause it to be prohibited. We haven't had any issues swimming right after using it.

Can you use this product if your pool is filled with well water? Thank you. ?

In my pool, I only use well water, and this product is ideal for me.

It really works
5/5

Over the years, I've tried a variety of algaecides, and they all seem to work fairly well. It's the same with this one. It accomplishes the task at hand. The only difference is that this one has been the most cost effective; you can get a gallon for a good price, and my pool only requires a three-ounce maintenance dose. I get about 42 maintenance treatments per gallon because there are 128 oz in a gallon. Now, I believe a maintenance treatment is only supposed to be done once a month, but I do it every week and never get algae, and the water is always crystal clear. I have not tried doing it on a monthly basis with this product, but I have done so with other products and it was insufficient. So now I simply buy the cheapest algaecide I can find and apply it once a week. This item fulfills the requirements. It makes me extremely happy.

Wow, I'd forgotten how much an algaecide can help
5/5

When I first started owning a pool, I used algaecide on a regular basis, but then I stopped. I've been brushing light amounts of yellow-orange paint on my walls for the past year or so. My pool's walls and steps are covered in green algae. I purchased this product, and the algae was completely gone in a short period of time, and it hasn't returned. Pay attention to the instructions. Use 8 oz. 4 oz. doses for the first time, then 4 oz. doses for the rest of the time For my North Florida pool without a screen cover, I do it every other week. Because the algaecide, according to my understanding, does not work on its own, make sure the pool has enough chlorine. Instead, it allows the chlorine to perform much better. My personal viewpoint is that This is just flat-out ridiculous. out of the box thinking Spend some money and bid farewell. Goodbye, yellow- algae that is green in color. Now, here's the catch: Your pool will be copper-rich as a result of this. The accumulation of metals over time may become an issue. That is not something I will discuss. Do your own research if you want to be sure. However, having a crystal clear pool is a big plus for me.

Years ago, I wish I had known about this product! Your algae problem WILL be solved with this algaecide! br>I live in the northeast, where my pool can reach 85 degrees in the summer
5/5

Every year, I dreaded the necessary maintenance to keep the algae at bay. I was using a molasses-like local pool store product that was VERY expensive! With all of this Covid nonsense, I've been ordering chemicals online and tried out this algaecide. NIGHT AND DAY! THIS IS THE BEST STUFF EVER! Since using this product, I have had no problems with algae this season, despite the fact that it has been a very hot summer here. Instead of buying a new $3000 filtration system, I assumed I'd have to buy useless garbage from my local pool store to control the algae. Brush and vacuum your pool, clean your filter, and use this product, and you'll be ready to swim in no time! and not drained by the battle with algae!.

A big surprise issue! I discovered a lot of dark staining on the pool wall after using this product for 10 weeks on a plaster pool with a salt system
3/5

br>If you're in a pinch, check the water. They discovered a lot of copper in the penny store. br>I've used copper-based algaecide before, including one sold at Home Depot on a regular basis, and I've never had this problem in my 13 years of pool maintenance. br>I purchased this product because of the low cost and the convenience of not having to go to the store during the pandemic. It backfired spectacularly. br>I would not advise anyone to do it.

I'm very impressed after the first use
5/5

We've been dealing with a build-up of green algae in an in-ground pool. A 20,000 gallon pool with a UV filter and a chlorine/chlorine combination system is installed in the ground. We chose this product based on customer reviews; I installed it over night, let the pool run for about 9 hours, and vacuumed the pool during the day break, and the algae was essentially gone. I've had good / mixed results with other shock and algaecide products in the past. However, this product yielded the best results so far. If the results change, I'll update this review, but based on my first use, I've discovered my new go-to product. to a product that kills algae!!.

All of the algae were destroyed
5/5

I had a lot of algae last year, so I bought this and it worked great. Now all I have to do is find a new home for the alligator that was in the pool. (Note that there was no alligator in the pool; only my mother-in-law was there-in-law-in-law-in-law-in-law-in law).

works
5/5

Pools are unfamiliar territory for me. In extremely soft well water, pH and chlorine had been kept under control while cya, hardness, and alkalinity had been ignored. br> The pool turned green after a few weeks. The pool jumped right back to crystal clear after using algicide with shock and correcting other water properties with cyanuric acid, baking soda, and calcium hardener, and it has stayed that way ever since.

I have a 40K gallon inground tank and use 10 oz per week (instructions call for 7 oz bi-weekly)
5/5

24 hours per week) It's been 36 hours since the pool was shocked. This has worked MUCH better than the pool store products, which cost twice as much and require twice as much product per application, so yes, there is a significant price difference. However, most importantly, THIS STUFF WORKS!.
