BLU52 Active Algaecide 2L

BLU52 Active Algaecide 2L is a concentrated liquid treatment formulated to eradicate and prevent green and black algae infestations in residential swimming pools.

This monthly preventative solution improves chemical efficiency by reducing the demand for chlorine, while simultaneously acting as a water clarifier to ensure a healthy, sparkling swimming environment.

Product Specifications and Features

• • Dual Action Formula: Functions as both a potent algaecide to kill existing spores and a clarifier to remove suspended dead algae particles.
• • Volume and Dosage: A single two litre bottle is sufficient to treat a standard fifty thousand litre swimming pool for one month.
• • Non-Foaming Liquid: Advanced polymer-based formulation that does not create unsightly foam or bubbles on the water surface.
• • Chlorine Efficiency: By controlling organic growth, this treatment lowers overall chlorine consumption and prevents chemical lock.
• • Broad Compatibility: Safe for use in all pool types, including marbleite, fibreglass, and vinyl, and compatible with saltwater chlorinators.

Application and Usage Instructions

• • Preparation: Shake the bottle well before use and ensure the pool pH level is balanced between six point eight and seven point four.
• • System Setup: Remove the automatic pool cleaner and set the multiport valve to the bypass or circulate position to ensure the chemical disperses before being trapped in the filter.
• • Dosing Method: Pour the entire contents of the bottle directly into the weir while the pump is running to ensure immediate circulation throughout the water body.
• • Recovery Cycle: If the pool is currently green, run the filtration system for twelve hours and backwash the filter as normal to remove dead algae.
• • Safety Buffer: Do not allow swimming in the pool for at least two hours following the application of the algaecide.

Safety Precautions and Storage

• • Personal Protection: Avoid all skin and eye contact; if contact occurs, wash the affected area with soap and cold water for fifteen minutes.
• • Storage Advice: Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry location, strictly away from food, drink, and other pool chemicals like acids.
• • Toxic Warning: This product is extremely toxic to fish; ensure that backwash water does not drain into natural water systems or fishponds.
• • Container Disposal: Puncture the empty container after use to prevent reuse and dispose of it via your local municipal waste system.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Does this product kill bacteria? No, this is an algaecide specifically designed to target plant growth; a sanitiser like chlorine is still required to kill harmful bacteria.
• • How often should I use this? For best results in the South African climate, apply one bottle every four weeks as a preventative measure to stop algae before it becomes visible.
• • Can I use this in my fishpond? No, this chemical is strictly for swimming pool use only and will be fatal to aquatic life in ponds or dams.

Pro Tip for Pool Owners

• • To save time and chemicals, add your monthly dose of BLU52 Active Algaecide on a clear day when a storm is predicted; this ensures a high level of preventative protection is already active in the water when the organic debris and rainwater hit your pool.
