@EliteSwimmingPoolsTV2 жыл бұрын
If it left a bluish stain, then you possibly may have had some type of metals suspended in the water and the high chlorine concentration may have had a reaction with it. As I said in the video, this may cause some type of discoloration, so spreading this chemical evenly and not allowing a large amount in one area is crucial. An acid wash may be needed depending on the severity of the discoloration. You may want to have your pool water checked at a pool store for metals before you do anything.

You’ll have to buy a all steel algae 10” brush and scrub HARD the black algae on walls to break off the algae’s protective shield it forms over itself. super super shock your pool, lower pH level to 7.2-7.0 and run for 24 hrs. Rescrub area with steel brush again. then next day add enough granular tri-chlorine along the floor below the algae area and allow to sit for additional 24hrs. Repeat if needed.

You can try it but make sure the chemical is evenly spread and does not clump up a lot of granular in one spot. You don’t need a lot on top of the black algae, a few granular surrounding the spots is enough. This may discolor your liner. You may want to try the liquid bottle of black algae trine I mentioned at end of video since you have a liner pool. Tri-chlorine has a very low pH level

Super chlorinate water, add a green algae killer (typically is a bromine sanitation powder product, follow the directions on bottle and add about two - three cap fulls into pool and follow up with the chlorine liquid right on top), lower pH levels to 7.2 - 7.0 level, brush black algae areas with a 100% steel algae brush and allow pool to circulate for a continuous 48 - 72hrs. Method two: take a 2” chlorine tablet and rub / agitate over the black algae areas ( this method can be used best by getting into pool and rubbing but is more physical. Make sure you wear rubber gloves Method three: you can by AlgaeTrine which is a liquid base black algae killer. Follow direction on bottle and prep chemistry of pool water based on bottles specifications. The one thing I dislike about this product is that it is Cooper based chemical. So you will be introducing Cooper into water. This product is great for color dye base plasters. You can use a combination of all three method described here to achieve and removal black algae from walls. Remember that all methods are best used with a lower pH level. Black algae breaks up and can’t live in lower pH pools.

Try method one and see what results you get out of it. Then go to method two, and last resort method three. Once you’ve get total removal remember to re-balance pool chemistry back to normal ranges.
