Vaccum the algaecide and its treated remainder to WASTE. Keep testing until it is ok. It should be fine. You may also call the company who makes the algaecide to get their suggestions.

Now I put just the minimum in each week to prevent algae from growing.

Yes, you can heat a pool after using copper algaecide, but it’s advisable to wait at least 24 hours to allow the algaecide to disperse and bind properly. Heating the water immediately after application may reduce the effectiveness of the algaecide. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for optimal results.

It's generally not recommended to add algaecide to a pool on the same day that you shock it. Shocking the pool raises the chlorine levels significantly, which can reduce the effectiveness of the algaecide. It's best to wait at least 24 hours after shocking to allow the chlorine levels to drop before adding algaecide for optimal results. Always check the product labels for specific instructions.

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.
