If there are just a few spots and you do not wish to drain the pool you must first scrape the "head" off with a wire brush or algae stone and then apply a granular/powder chlorine directly on top of the spot. If the pool is riddled with the stuff it would probably be easier to drain the pool, scrape off the heads of the black algae and then chlorine wash the pool. Let the chlorine sit for a half hour before rinsing.
