I have green algae spots growing on the side of my pool. Will this product remove them?

Only if they are on the pool side of the liner. Try to brush them off with a vinyl safe pool brush. If they don't budge, that means the algae is on the inside of the liner and those require pulling the liner away from the wall and special treatment- consult a pool professional. If the spots do brush away, remove all possible and vacuum, backwash and treat. This product should do the job but follow directions for visible algae growth. Do not use an automatic pool cleaner to vacuum, it will spread the algae and not remove it.

How many gallons in your pool? Mine is 20000 gal. I used half a bottle of the Kemtek 60. & it got rid of all the algae. Assume yours is beneath the water line. An excellent product.

My filters did not have the lime green algae - more grey mold color. It worked good but I poured a whole bottle in a cooler that all three filters and put a brick on all three to keep them submerged and left them overnight. I still alternate between this and the hot springs spray bottle cleaner especially if I want to put the filters back in that day.

In my pond string algae grows quickly on the falls and on the rocks around the waters edge if I don't do the fallowing. I shut off the falls sprinkle Green Clean powder directly on the algae and wait about an hour then turn on the falls. This kills it. (I don't think Microbe Lift is intended to kill algae.) Then I put in Microbe Lift which keeps my water really clear and seems to retard the growth of new algae. I do this about every two weeks and it keeps my pond looking great.

Definitely. This does not take the place of your filter. It just makes the chemicals easier to deal with. No green hair not a lot of maintenance to keep the water clean!

my algae growth is always much less in winter and I run my pump and pond 24/7 365 so I would leave it on as long as green water appears. If you remove it and in a few weeks cloudy water appears put it back on. i would check with manufacturer to see if there are temperature specs that should be noted. I have not gone through a winter with this product yet. I removed a big tree that now means a great deal more light to the water surface.. we'll see.

It's only for removing debris. Chemicals are needed to prevent bacteria and algae from growing.

Don't know. This product was useless in removing stains in my white plaster pool

Pool must be clean before putting floatron in. You must use chlorine tablets with it. It does not kill algae, it prevents it. It works great for my ,20,000 gal pool. First clean pool, then add flotation. Wil not get algae again. But make sure you use chlorine.

I have used this net and find it works very well to skim out floating algae. In the hot summertime here in Texas, my koi pond, which is out in the open, sometimes has a serious algae bloom. In the morning, the surface will be clear, but the water is green. By evening, a thick scum of algae will be covering the surface. Just touching it sends it swirling back into the water, but I can scoop it with this net and remove a very large percentage of it.

Yes, it does. This is the main reason I chose it. You may see it fluff up the algae but after the 2hr cycle around and around the pool it is diamond clear. Rinse the fine filtering bags after every use with a garden hose. My formula for algae success is shock with chlorine powder AND use swamp treat or yellow out plus a.clarifier while running pump 24/7. This works within days and the algae at the bottom is gone with rover the vacuum. I use it daily, every day and would not be without one. By far the best purchase I made.

I didn't order this from Amazon, but I use this the other day and it is the ONLY thing that helped. I tried about 10 different products, then used this. I followed the directions and put this in my green pool. The next morning all the algae was on the bottom of the pool and the water was clear. I vacuumed to waste and the pool was perfect. I definitely recommend this product.

I would think you need to have water since this can probably damage your pool surface. It does say on the bottle not to concentrate in just one area and that the ph of water has to be 7.2-7.8 in order for this product to work. From what I read, there is no way to actually get rid of black algae forever. I kinda grows deeper and deeper into the pool walls if left untreated for a while. Even if you use algaecide, it will take care of whatever it can, but the roots will still be left not visible to the naked eye. It starts growing back as soon as the chemistry in the pool is off again and doesn't get adjusted right away.

Really don't know, but it did remove what is called green bloom. Supposed to be one of the hardest stains out there. Caused from epoxy activators from the installers Dupont makes some good products...give it a try. But follow directions exactly

I had algae on one end and i think it was the solar cover that was causing it. Once i got rid of it algae went away. With the cleaner once u shock the pool sweep algae away and use cleaner a few times a week it doesnt come back. The cleaner also keeps my filter clean. I only hav to backwash once in summer not because i hav to. I tell everyone to get this tiger shark

I am not sure what else you would need without knowing what kind of pool you have, water type, and issues you are trying to correct in your pool . I would suggest getting to a pool supply store and have a water test. Now this pool perfect and phosfree product does contain a clarifier. This product is a regular maintenance chemical that helps keep phosphates low. Phosphates are what algae feed off of. This will not remove or kill algae from the pool. This brand does sell pool perfect by itself which is the strong clarifier.

I had algae on bottom of pool and it has removed it. Dirt etc. But, if you have black algae or the kind that needs to be scrubbed off, this will not do it... It has no scrub brushes... just suction.
