A person can make a homemade pool algaecide by combining bleach, baking soda, and Borax. This shocks the pool and increases the pH if needed.
I suggest you contact the manufacturer of the algaecide and find out from them what would be the bes coarse of action.
By killing the green algae with an algaecide available at your pool shop.
Adding algaecide to the pool when the filter is on should not do any harm in fact it should mix it into the water more quickly
It might otherwise use a copper based algaecide at the same time and that should do it.
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.
my pool did get milky but cleared up after 48 hours
You want to have the equipment running while adding any chemicals. You will want to wait about an hour after adding algaecide.
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. When I had a problem with my pool about three weeks ago, the pool company put a LOT of algaecide in the pool and then I vaccumed it to waste. Now I put just the minimum in each week to prevent algae from growing.
Sodium bicarbonate ( baking soda )
add a poly 60 or a 7% copper based algaecide if you dont have a heater on the pool.
the same as before. whoever told you that you didnt have to shock and use algaecide lied. the same as before. whoever told you that you didnt have to shock and use algaecide lied.
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.
