I2KI Just had this bio question on my test.
Some of the types of algae are staghorn algae, black brush or beard algae, green spot algae, and green thread hair algae. Other types of algae are green water algae, and black green algae.
Black algae is very hard to get rid of You need to get down there with something an scrub the surface of the algae. this will damage it so that algaecides will be able to penetrate it Hit the pool with a suitable algaecide you will be able to get this at your pool shop and also try putting some dry chlorine in a sock and place it directly on the worst affected areas, leave it for a while and see what happens.
In a word ~ NO. If the algae bloom is that severe maybe a replaster is in order. Sounds like you need to be more diligent on chemistry in the pool along with proper filtration among other things. Sounds like a problem of neglect. Black algae will bore into the plaster unlike green algae. It is very difficult to get rid of especially on rough plaster. You cannot cover over it or paint over it. Oh, the dark blue liner or any liner can and will cover and hide the algae problem but you will still have the algae problem and in fact compound the problem. The algae could bore through the new liner and then where will you be - - right back in the same boat. k
There is no such thing as actual black algae. It is just a name given to crystallized green algae. Green algae that can not flourish will die and crystallize and try to grow again and again in the same spot forming those black buds. Usually you will get black algae from keeping a constant level of chlorine say 3 to 5 ppm's and not shocking (Raising the chlorine level over 10 ppm's) the pool often enough.
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.
i stored a vinyl hot tub in storage and now it has yellow and black mold stains on it. how do i remove the stains and smell?
Green and black algae can leave permanent and unsightly stains. The best way to clean them is to use an oxygenated bleach cleaner, which is sold commercially in stores.
It sounds like some sort of algae when you expose it to the pools water it brings it under controll.
Yes, a black light will show stains, such as on a carpet or shirt.
The reagent that is used to test for starch is a mixture of iodine and potassium iodide in water, or an Iodine - KI reagent. If the reagent turns blue-black in color, then starch is present.

you can't but you can get a permanent maker and color the bleach stains
Black Cherry Diet Rite stains the worst in my opinion
yes
