HTH Green Algaecide Micro 1L

HTH Green Algaecide Micro 1L is a concentrated liquid chemical treatment formulated to eradicate active green algae and prevent future blooms in residential swimming pools.

This non-foaming algaecide works by penetrating the protective outer layer of algae cells, providing a rapid kill rate that helps restore water hygiene and clarity without altering the delicate pH balance of the pool.

Product Specifications and Features

Ideal Use and Application

• • Initial Dosing: For visible algae, apply two hundred millilitres per ten thousand litres of pool water directly around the perimeter.
• • Maintenance Dosing: Use a weekly maintenance dose of fifty millilitres per ten thousand litres to prevent new algae growth.
• • Application Conditions: For best results, ensure your free chlorine levels are between one and three parts per million before adding the algaecide.
• • Circulation: Keep the pool pump running for at least twelve to twenty four hours after application to ensure the chemical is distributed to all corners.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Will this work on black algae? This product is specifically designed for green algae; black algae typically requires a more aggressive treatment and heavy brushing.
• • Is it safe for salt water pools? Yes, this algaecide is fully compatible with salt water chlorination systems and won't damage the chlorinator cell.
• • How soon can I swim? It is recommended to wait for one full filtration cycle, usually six to eight hours, before allowing swimmers back into the water.

Pro Tip for Pool Owners

• • To maximise the effectiveness of your algaecide after a heavy storm, give your pool walls a quick brush before pouring in the treatment.
• • This breaks the surface tension of the algae colonies, allowing the HTH Green Algaecide Micro to reach the spores more effectively and work much faster to clear the water.
