Clorox® Pool&Spa™ Swimming Pool Algaecide, Prevents and Treats Pool Algae, Non-Foaming, 1 Quart (Pack of 1)

First off, I started having horrible cloudy yellow algae filled water. I basically went out and bought new cartridge filters because I couldn't get it cleared up. I really didn't need new filters but I was desperate. It was around mid april in texas and we were getting tons of wind and rain and it seemed no matter how much I vacuumed the pool I couldn't get rid of the cloudy green water. I could barely see the drains quite honestly. The water looked horrible and I felt hopeless. I had my chemistry in order, but did have higher phosphates than usual at about 750. This was one of those times where shocking wasn't doing anything and I was getting very upset. I NEVER used algaecide in the past because many pool people say it's a waste of money, but in my case it wasn't. I know there is an argument that a phosphate killer is the way to go but I decided to try the clorox product and I'm super happy I did. I poured about half the bottle into the edges of my pool and swept the side walls and throughout the day swept the debris the best I could to the drains. I also put 2 pounds of granular home depot max blue granular shock in the skimmer without the basket. What shocked me was hen I woke up the next day the pool was the blueist it's ever been and was nearly 100% clear! Even my wife was amazed and couldn't believe how beautiful the water looked. I think for a long time I've suffered with yellow algae but have kind of kept it at bay but I've always had dingy greenish water that wasn't that blue. I think what the clorox product did for me was show me that I desperately needed an algaecide in my pool and it was starving for it. It wiped the algae clean out and now I'm proud of how my pool looks for the first time in a long time. I actually think that this product could potentially save me money in shock if I use it as a preventive. Don't listen to the negative reviews on this stuff, I would venture to guess that many of the people complaining aren't using it properly. You have to have a well balanced pool, with clean filtration and some good shock if you're pool is out of hand. Mine went from embarrassing to magical over night with just a little work. Also I got ZERO foaming! I know some people do, but I didn't. One tip, before you put it in or shock your pool, make sure you sweet the side walls of your pool first to get the algae loose so it's floating all around in your pool.. This is what helped my situation. I also bought some flocculant thinking I may need it to clump the particles so I could vacuum but somehow the clorox product and a little sweeping completely did the trick on my ugly yellow cloudy water. Thanks Clorox!

This is an excellent product. I can see the results!

I added this Clorox Pool&Spa Algaecide to my pool maintenance routine, and it has done a great job helping prevent algae growth. The water stays clearer, and I’ve had fewer issues with green buildup on the walls and surfaces. It’s easy to measure and add, and it works well when used along with regular chlorine and proper pool care. I like having it on hand, especially during hot weather when algae seems to appear faster. This is a good preventative product that helps save time and effort on pool maintenance. I’ll definitely keep using it to help keep my pool clean and looking its best.

Done a good job

We went on Vacation for a week, and forgot about the pool. Came back and it was slightly green and cloudy. Tried everything for a week to clear it up, nothing was working. This got the green out overnight! These pics were without any other work. Just added to the pool and left the filter running, the pics are about 12 hours apart.

This does the job. k I always use this when I open the pool.

This alge remover really works. My pool is very clear and is not green!

Great price, great product and I love buying it on line and getting it delivered as shopping for pool chemicals is the most boring and aggravating experience.
