How Do I Get Rid of Stubborn Green Algae in My Pool?

For green algae, first shock the pool with chlorine or a non-chlorine shock treatment to kill the algae. Then brush the pool walls and floor vigorously to remove any growth. Run the filter continuously until the water clears up, vacuuming up any dead algae. Maintain proper chlorine levels between 1-3 ppm to prevent regrowth.

What Kills Mustard Algae in a Swimming Pool?

For mustard algae, use a dedicated mustard algaecide product containing ammonium compounds. Brush the areas well after applying it. Then shock the pool with chlorine or non-chlorine shock. Run the filter continually as the water clears, vacuuming up dead algae. Clean out the filter once finished.

Maintaining proper chlorine levels, brushing regularly, running the filter system and using preventative algaecides or enzymes can help eliminate conditions that allow future algae blooms. Addressing any water chemistry imbalances like pH and stabiliser levels is also important.

Working with professional pool cleaners is also a great way to ensure your swimming pool water remains clean, hygienic and fresh. They have the expertise and the professional-grade products to provide a great result.
