Algaecide

Quat Pool Algaecides, also known as Quaternary Ammonium compounds, serve as microbial disinfectants in pools. While they are technically detergents, it’s important to note that excessive use can lead to foaming in the pool. Quats work by attaching themselves to negatively charged algae cells, effectively dissolving their outer protective membranes. This process enables the chlorine to penetrate the organism’s nucleus and eliminate the algae. Quat algaecides are highly cost-effective options available in concentrations or strengths of 10% and 50%, making them popular choices among pool owners.

Usage

To effectively control and prevent algae growth in your pool, it is recommended to use an initial dosage of 26 ounces of In The Swim pool algaecide for every 10,000 gallons of water. This dosage will help keep your pool free from algae-related issues. For regular maintenance every other week, a dosage of 16 ounces per 10,000 gallons of water is sufficient to maintain crystal-clear pool water, ensuring algae does not become a problem.

Before adding the In The Swim Swimming Pool Algaecide, it is important to follow some essential steps. First, brush your pool to remove any algae or debris clinging to the surfaces. Clean or backwash your filter to ensure optimal filtration. Empty the skimmer and pump baskets to maintain proper water flow. Next, turn on the main circulation pump to ensure proper distribution of chemicals. Additionally, it is recommended to super chlorinate according to the water volume and interior type of your pool. This step will help establish a chlorine residual and maintain a healthy pool environment.
