Typically, no.
If you have alage and are using an algaecide to help clear the water, then the chlorine is also being used up killing alage and the decaying dead algae cells in the water.
If you don't have algae and are using an alagecide as a preventative measure, then the algaecide will slowly breakdown on its own. But it will not use up the chlorine.
Hope this helps ...
check the cyanaric acid level of the water, you may have low or no stabelizer in the water, this will mask the chlorine reading. you may have a good level of chlorine but is being masked by lack of stableizer. hope this is of help, enjoy the season.

Excess algaecide in a swimming pool can be harmful if ingested or if it comes into contact with skin, eyes, or mucous membranes.

If you suspect the algaecide levels are too high, it's best to consult a professional pool technician for guidance on how to correct the imbalance.
What should you do if you accidentally put two and a half times more algaecide than the recommended dose in your pool and is it too toxic to go in it?
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.

What are the white suds on the pool water?
Without seeing your water, I am going to guess that the liquid algaecide you are using is a quat (quatenary ammonium). It is an effective algaecide but it can cause the water to get a little "sudsy" or "foamy". You may have had just a bit too much in there. A way the old service company guys would check your algaecide level was to put their hand in the pool and shake it around. If it foamed some, then you had enough. Usually a good shock will clear that up.
