Algae build-up in your pool is not a good thing. Aside from the fact that algae create an unattractive look in your pool, they also cause accidents that can harm your family. It is necessary to keep your pool clean by eliminating all stubborn dirt and algae in the water.

Instructions on how to remove algae from the pool:


1. Vacuum the pool to remove the algae that accumulated in the pool walls and bottoms. Remove as much algae as you can then brush them off using a long pool brush.

2. Buy a pool chlorine shock solution and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for its usage.

3. Mix a bucket of water with chlorine shock solution. It is advisable to add 1 pound of the solution for every 10, 000 gallons of water.

4. Turn on the pool filter and add the chlorine shock solution to the pool. Let the pool filter run for 24 hours. Check the pool from time to time. If you see no improvement in the water, increase the dosage of the solution to be added in the water.

5. Filter out or vacuum any floating algae on the pool’s surface.
