Sure it can, but would you really want to??
yes
Algae can appear at the bottom of a pool after shocking it because the shock treatment can kill off algae and other organic matter, causing it to sink to the bottom.
how can i remove algae from my pool liner, I have treated the water but algae remains on my liner
The time it takes to clean green algae in a pool will vary depending on the severity of the algae infestation, the size of the pool, and the cleaning methods used. It typically takes several days to a week to completely clean and remove green algae from a pool. Regular maintenance and proper chemical treatment can help prevent future algae growth.
Red or pink algae in a swimming pool is actually a bacteria. The most common cause is contamination from swimming suits when going from the ocean to the pool. Chlorine is the most effective treatment. Algae products will not work because it is not a true algae.
If it is genuine 'black algae' it is very difficult to remove without emptying the pool and gouging the black algae out of the pool surface. Other algae can be removed by shocking the pool, filtering continuously and brushing walls while maintaining a good sanitizer level.
By far the easiest way without a professional cleaner is a product called Pool Cage Plus. (www.poolcageplus.com) Shoots 25 feet to get the top of the pool cage. And you don't have to do crazy things like your pool brush and scrub it.
cause of the algae in your pool! c.s.

Red Algae is a bacteria... not an algae. It shows up on pool surfaces as loose, rust colored specks or clinging, bright red almost like a bright pink patches. Use a double dose of shock treatment.
If your pool has high chlorine levels along with algae, you should first test the water to confirm the chlorine levels. If the levels are indeed high, you can partially drain the pool and refill it with fresh water to dilute the chlorine. It is also important to shock the pool with an appropriate amount of shock treatment to kill the algae and bring the chlorine levels back to normal. Regularly brushing and vacuuming the pool will also help remove the algae.
To kill mustard algae in your pool, start by shocking the water with a chlorine shock treatment to raise the chlorine levels significantly. After ensuring the pH is balanced, scrub the affected surfaces with a pool brush to dislodge the algae. Run the pool filter continuously for 24-48 hours to help remove dead algae, and consider using an algaecide specifically designed for mustard algae for added effectiveness. Regularly check and maintain proper pool chemistry to prevent its return.
