Would this work to get algae off of pots & small (shaded) area of deck?

I would not think so as it is listed under the Laundry section on the manufacturers website and the description also states that this is best used with laundry.

I'm not sure. I have a paver patio with the same problem. I'm going to use this product on it as soon as the snow melts. So I won't know until.then; but my guess is it will

According to this website, http://www.oxygenbleach.com/oxygen-bleach-and-your-deck.html oxygen bleach is a good product to use on your deck. I have not tried it but plan to, as I have plants around my deck and commercial deck cleaners don't really work well and they are expensive.

It will if you add too much to your pool. It does go away. I find it works better for me if I use the whole bottle I do not have any algae problem. My pool is a play pool so is shallow and has not dropped in temp below 88 degrees all summer. This was causing me grief with algae until I used black algae killer. Try adjusting how much you are using.

Agree w the bleach solution. You can also add a cup of bleach periodically when you are using it in a storage mode. This unit is opaque,, so it should not support much algae growth, as would a transparent one made e.g., from a 55 gal. Coke barrel. Agree that algae should not be a concern when using water outdoors. Regardless, take care that children do not drink the collected water.

it retains almost everything down to the sand particles. If treated the algae normally turn to solid so I would guess it could. Never have I had to deal with algae then again I own a spa.

Yes! Definitely! We have been using this on our solar array which is on our barn roof and it cleans them off with no problems. My husband uses it almost daily all winter.

This vacuum uses water pressure to clean the bottom. So I am not sure if it will remove algae. That being said I have been using it for a couple of months and do not have any algae issues. It has continuously removed various particles and debris from our pool bottom.

I get some blowback of dirt, but not enough to keep the device from doing an adequate cleaning job. It gets only about 75% of the leaves. Bottom line, the pool is not as clean as you can get it by hand, vacuuming through a skimmer, but it's pretty good, and, I've had no algae problem. I would try it for an cycle or two before returning it.

Not sure. I used it on our composite deck. Removed the stains, but it didn't lighten the composite material.

I wpuld guess that it would clean it to get the spots out, however you probably would need to soak i and re soak it several times in dawn to make sure the chemical is not remaining.

Yes, worked perfectly. I put it in (1.5 bags) for about an acre pond, in April, just as the algae was growing. Within a few days the algae turns dark and drops to the bottom and disappears.

I would predict that you would see good results with the light. Mine is on an 8 gallon nano with some crypts, sprite, micro swords and Java Moss. Light is on typically 9 to 10 hours daily and I constantly prune the sprite. Using eco complete substrate and diy CO2.

Yes, but in a small capacity only. The LEDs do not put out as much UV light as a CFL bulb.Running continuously, it should help algae grow in the scrubber.Cheers

This would help move the water. Great pumps i really recommend the cobalt's over most others. They are silent and last forever. But if you have red cyano algae yea just this powerhead won't fix the issue. You need to really check your parameters and if those are in a good place i would highly recommend http://www.amazon.com/Boyd-Enterprises-CC02-Chemi-Clean-2/dp/B00025YRJS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413336934&sr=8-1&keywords=chemiclean Stuff works wonders. Just make sure to read and do what the instructions say. I had a full red tank once. The next day it was gone with this stuff. And corals opened up also. If you have a bad bacteria outbreak like red cyano algae i would recommend both.

If the stain is water based, yes... If the deck is big, it's an OK idea, but small decks, just use a pump sprayer...

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

No, chemical filtration media will not remove algae. A good UV Sterilizer in conjunction with a 50 micron filter pad will help clear Green Water (free floating algae).

I suggest putting algicide and chlorine in your pool to kill whatever it is that growing. This pool cleaner picks up everything on the bottom. I have never had an algae problem so I can't say that it will clean it off your pool.
