Killing Algae
My Pool is Black!
Black Algae usually forms in cracks and crevices on pool surfaces. It forms a skeletal growth on top to protect itself, which normal levels of chlorine cannot defeat.
My Pool is Yellow!
Mustard Algae is a form of green algae that is highly resistant to chlorine. Special treatments must be used to eliminate it.
My Pool is Green!
Green Algae is a free-floating or wall-clinging algae that grows rapidly. It can range in severity from patches on the walls or bottom, to turning the entire pool a deep green cast.
My Pool is Pink!
Bacterial and algae growths occur naturally in any body of water. Most bacteria that occur in pools are not harmful, but simply cause problems such as cloudy water or unsightly buildups that can damage equipment. Pink Slime, while often categorized as an algae, is actually a bacterial growth.
My Pool is Full of Shredded Tissue Paper!
Bacterial and algae growths occur naturally in any body of water. Water Mold is a whitish, mucous-like substance that looks like shredded tissue paper when floating in the water.
