HTH All-In-One Algaecide 2L

HTH All-In-One Algaecide 2L is a concentrated liquid treatment formulated to eliminate existing algae infestations and inhibit the growth of new spores in swimming pools. This multi-functional chemical solution works by disrupting the cellular structure of green, black, and mustard algae while simultaneously aiding the filtration system in removing suspended organic matter for improved water clarity.

Technical Specifications and Features

• • Formulated as a non-foaming liquid that remains stable across a wide range of potential hydrogen levels and water temperatures.
• • Contains a powerful polymer-based active ingredient that coats pool surfaces to provide ongoing protection against common algae strains.
• • Compatible with all pool sanitising systems including chlorine, bromine, and salt water chlorinators without affecting the chemical balance.
• • Acts as a secondary clarifier by binding fine organic particles together, making them large enough for the sand or glass media filter to trap.
• • The large two litre container provides sufficient volume for multiple maintenance doses or a high-strength shock treatment for severe green water.

Ideal Use and Instructions

• • Best suited for the peak South African summer season when high temperatures and heavy swimmer loads increase the risk of rapid algae blooms.
• • Before application, ensure the potential hydrogen is balanced between seven point two and seven point six for maximum chemical efficacy.
• • For maintenance, add two hundred millilitres per fifty thousand litres of water every week by pouring it directly into the pool weir.
• • To treat visible algae, first scrub the affected areas with a brush before adding a double dose of algaecide to ensure deep penetration.
• • Always run the pool pump and filtration system for at least twelve hours after adding the liquid to ensure uniform distribution through the water.

Safety Precautions

• • This liquid is a chemical irritant; avoid direct contact with the skin and eyes and wear protective gloves during the pouring process.
• • Store the bottle in an upright position in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use.
• • Keep this product strictly out of reach of children and domestic animals to prevent accidental ingestion or chemical burns.
• • If the concentrated liquid is spilled on the pool deck or clothing, wash the area immediately with large volumes of fresh water.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Will this make my pool water cloudy? No, the formula includes a clarifier that actually helps clear cloudy water while it works to kill algae.
• • Can I use this in a vinyl or fibreglass pool? Yes, this non-metallic formula is safe for all pool types and will not cause staining on delicate surfaces.
• • How soon can we swim after treatment? It is safe to swim twenty minutes after adding the algaecide, provided the pump has been running to circulate the water.
• • Do I still need to use chlorine? Yes, algaecide is a preventative supplement and does not replace the primary sanitising role of chlorine or salt systems.

Pro Tip for Local Pool Care

• • If you are planning a large pool party or braai with many guests, add a maintenance dose of HTH All-In-One Algaecide the evening before. The extra organic load from sunscreens and sweat can quickly deplete your chlorine, but having a layer of algaecide already in the water prevents a "green surprise" the next morning by providing an extra line of defence.
