How do you clean algae off pool walls?

Answer 1

The only real way would be to drain it, and clean it out, preferably with a bleach based cleaning product. A stagnant body of water like that, that isn't being treated with sanitizers is a perfect breeding ground for all kinds of nasty things so the water should be changed regularly. via

Answer 2

You can remove it by buying a fish to eat it such as a Siamese Algae Eater, use a scrubber, or algae removing chemicals(don't suggest the algae chemicals). Remember, a little bit of algae is good for the tank unless it is the slimy blue-green algae.

Answer 3

First, balance your pool chemistry. Take a sample of your water to a local pool supply company and ask them to check everything, including phosphate. Phosphate will feed and promote algae growth. Then you need to super-chlorinate (take it up to 12 to 15 ppm for green algae, higher for yellow). Brush the pool daily, backwash, and maintain high levels of chlorine until the water starts to clear. Then you can relax on the addition of chlorine but don't stop brushing. Even if you can't see it, it is probably going to be there. If you think the algae is gone, quit brushing for a couple of days and see if the pool surfaces start to get slippery. If you wait too long, you'll start to see the green tint return.

Good luck.

Gunite pool? Stuck algae may be removed with a wire brush. Keep in mind, stuck algae is most commonly algae that has been trapped behind a layer of scale, either from hard water or high alkalinity or high pH for too long. Try lowering alkalinity and pH just below your acceptable ranges to "eat away" at the scale covering the algae and brushing all the while. Also get a small dose of a copper-based algecide in the pool water to help attack the algae as it is made reachable by each brush job. Any other pool surface other than gunite, same steps as above just DO NOT use a wire brush, only a nylon bristle brush.

Answer 5

That depends on the type of algae. Restate your question on the specific type of algae you have and include the construction category of the pool ( plaster, vinyl, fiberglass). k
