Can you clear a pool that has great amount of algae buildup without draining it?

Yes, you can. First, add your algaecide. Second, add a flocculant (or coagulant). Third, shock the pool. Fourth, run the filter constantly. After a day or two, the dead algae will settle out. Vacuum it out to waste. Good luck.


Can pebble tech be used in a pond?

I am not familiar with pebble tech so I looked it up on their web page. If you were using cement I would caution you about the lye leaching into the water and the consequent change in ph. To take that concept forward, I would question if there is any potential for the chemistry in the pebble process to end up changing the chemistry of the water. Of course that would not make a difference in a swimming pool but would certainly be an issue if you intend to put fish in your pond. My second thought is that a vital part of the biology of your pond will the the fine fuzzy hair-like algae that will eventually grow on all the surfaces of your pond. If you go to great expense to have a pretty surface, you will certainly be unhappy when that algae appears. But wait! That algae serves a valuable service in keeping your pond water clear. 1) It provides surface area for your beneficial bacteria to grow on. (it is these bacteria that compete with the algae for nutrients) 2) it consumes the nutrients that, if not consumed, will turn into 'pea soup' algae. This may not be the yes/no answer you wanted, but it will give you some questions to ask and some understanding of your pond biology. (www.rosepond.com)

HOW TO REMOVE ALGAE FROM PAINTED PEBBLE DASH WALLS?

To remove algae from painted pebble dash walls, start by mixing a solution of water and mild detergent or a specialized algae cleaner. Apply the solution to the affected areas using a soft brush or sponge, scrubbing gently to avoid damaging the paint. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove any residue. For stubborn algae, you may need to use a diluted bleach solution (1 part bleach to 10 parts water), but ensure to test a small area first to check for any adverse effects on the paint.

What kills algae on a soil surface?

To kill algae on a soil surface, you can use chemical treatments like copper sulfate or herbicides specifically designed to target algae. Physical methods such as manual removal and regular cleaning can also help control algae growth. Changing environmental conditions such as reducing sunlight exposure or improving drainage can prevent algae from thriving on the soil surface.


How come most algae grow near the ocean surface?

Because they need to be close to the surface to be able to perform photosynthesis.
