The evolution of swimming pool algaecides from chlorine and copper-based treatments to quaternary ammonium compounds and Polyquat 60, featuring an amber, transparent, viscous Polyquat 60 liquid beside a clear swimming pool.

The Evolution of Swimming Pool Algaecides

Outline The Evolution of Swimming Pool Algaecides: From Simple Treatments to Smarter Algae Control A sparkling swimming pool looks simple from the deck. Clear water, clean walls, maybe a faint smell of chlorine—that’s about it, right? Behind that clear water, though, there’s quite a bit of chemistry at work. Algae...

What Is a Non-Oxidizing Algaecide?

Outline What Is a Non-Oxidizing Algaecide? A swimming pool can look perfectly clear on Monday and start showing a faint green tint by Wednesday. Chlorine is present. The filter is running. The pH seems fine. So what happened? Algae control is rarely as simple as adding more sanitizer. One useful...

Understanding Different Types of Pool Algaecides

Outline This guide covers: Understanding Different Types of Pool Algaecides Keeping a swimming pool free from algae sounds simple: maintain chlorine, keep the water moving, and clean the surfaces regularly. Then one warm week arrives. The water starts looking slightly dull. A green tint appears near the steps. Maybe the...
