What else can I help you with?
Can algae survive under a pool cover in hot weather?
Yes, algae can survive under a pool cover in hot weather, particularly if the conditions are favorable, such as warmth, moisture, and limited sunlight. Pool covers can create a warm and humid environment that encourages algae growth. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the pool and cover, along with proper chemical balance, can help prevent algae from thriving in these conditions.
Can a solor pool cover cause green water?
I am not sure why this has not been answered. The most common reason for the green is algae growth. If you put on a solar cover and ignore pool maintenance, then the algae will grow as the water heats and when you remove the cover, the pool will be green
Why does your pool smell of algae?
cause of the algae in your pool! c.s.
If you leave your solar cover on day and night will you have algae problems?
Clarification needed. Are you talking about a swimming pool?
Should you cover a green pool while waiting for the new filter parts to arrive or will that make it worse?
Cover it, the sunlight feeds the Algae.
How do I remove algae from my solar pool cover?
with a mixture of half water, half bleach; spray it on, brush it into the pockets and crevices, then rinse it off; that should do it. Only problem could be if some of the air bubbles have burst and are now filled with algae. You'll need to get the bleach into those bubbles in order to kill the algae there. Don't leave the bleach on the cover for too long or it may start to "eat" away at it.
Can algae grow under a solid pool cover even in hot weather?
Yes, even in a covered pool and especially in warm weather. Limiting the sunlight does slow it down. The pool water contains dissolved carbon dioxide and dissolved nutrients that the algae use to grow.
Does keeping a solar cover on the pool cause algae. I am in a shaded area and like to keep the pool cover on to keep in the heat. My pool keeps turning green and I want to know if is is the cover?
Algae is caused by sunlight and bacteria. The solar cover helps keep the chlorine in during the day under direct sun if in place; the green is probably due to bacteria rather than the the cover holding heat; scrub pool bottom and sides, add chlorine shock at 1 lb per 10000 gallons and run filter for 24 hours.
Is there less algae growth with a blue solar blanket over a clear solar blanket?
The color of the blanket is not rellevant. However, algae multiplies much faster in warm water and gas trapped under a solar cover can be converted into algae food. The cover should be removed during peak heating hours and put back on afterwards. Pool water gets hot without the cover all on its own. The cover is to prevent heat loss more than to multiply heat gain. We see many more pools with algae if covered all the time rather than those where the cover is removed often. Pool & Spa The colour of a blanket can make all the difference... there is a swimming pool cover called EnergyGuard. It has been proven to stop algae growth, as well as saving time, money, water and energy usage. The product is unique with its dark blue top surface and a black underside. This means that the cover absorbs the sun's heat while blocking the sunlight from entering the water, therefore stopping photosynthesis and algae growth. A UK test lasting two months established that a pool with an EnergyGuard cover remained clear of algae without chemical treatment. In a winter test from October 2008 to April 2009, a UK pool was covered with an EnergyGuard cover and a woven mesh debris cover. No winter pool chemicals were used. The water was clear of algae after the 6 month winter period. Hope that is useful Thanks Emma
How can I effectively cover a pool to protect it from debris and maintain its cleanliness?
To effectively cover a pool and protect it from debris while maintaining cleanliness, use a pool cover specifically designed for this purpose. Make sure the cover fits securely over the pool and is made of durable material. Remove any debris from the cover regularly and clean it as needed. Additionally, regularly skim the pool surface, vacuum the pool bottom, and maintain proper chemical levels to prevent algae growth and maintain water clarity.
In winter the pool is covered except when the pool people come to service the pool what causes the pool to get algae?
well when you leave your pool covered for the winter, you are unable to put chlorine into it. Chlorine prevents algae so to answer your question, the lack of chlorine causes algae
What do you do if your pool has green algae and black algae spots?
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.
