You can use a vacuum to get dead algae off of the bottom of your pool. Once you finish vacuuming, use the pump and filter to remove the particles.
An algaecide (or algicide) is a substance which kills or inhibits the growth of algae.
algaecide
Chlorine and Algaecide, and flocculate then when the algae is dead vacuum it to waste from the bottom of the pool. ( Follow the instructions on the containers)
That slime you feel is algae. Treat with Shock and algaecide. Specific algaecide treatments may vary depending on the type of algae. Ask your local pool store what is common in your area and try those treatments. But monitor your free chlorine levels and make sure you can sustain 3ppm.
If in shallow water, the plants that grow on the bottom, but if on deep water, on floating algae.
By killing the green algae with an algaecide available at your pool shop.
add a poly 60 or a 7% copper based algaecide if you dont have a heater on the pool.
Algaecide can usually get rid of algae. Unless the water in circulating there is no way to prevent algae buildup on wet surfaces.
It's generally recommended to wait at least 24 hours after adding algaecide before vacuuming the pool. This allows the algaecide to work effectively and kill the algae before you disturb it. Vacuuming too soon may reduce the efficacy of the treatment and could stir up dead algae, making the water cloudy. Always follow the specific instructions on the algaecide product for the best results.
The most effective koi pond algaecide for controlling algae growth is one that contains active ingredients like copper sulfate or algaecide chemicals specifically designed for ponds. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure safe and effective use.
I just had a similar problem so I'll tell you what cleared mine up. I wasn't using enough Algaecide in my pool to correct the problem. I have about 32,000 gallons and the pool company recommended a quart and a half of an algaecide with 7% copper. I found mine at WalMart and it only had 3% copper, but it worked fine. Some of the products do not contain copper, they informed me, and copper is a necessary ingredient to kill the algae. Pour it in and let it sit overnight. Then vaccumm to WASTE the walls and bottom. The algae is so fine that it will remain in your filter and keep flowing back to your pool if you vac the pool in the normal way. The Copper ingredient bonds to the algae for removal. After the pool is clean, add a few ounces of the algaecide each week. I need to add about 6 oz. Let us know if this works for you.
