Algaecides are the only real solution to controlling and eliminating all types of algae growth in your pool. They are usually divided into two categories: quat/polyquat and metallic-type formulas. They come in either granular or liquid forms for added versatility, and either type is just as effective as the other.

Used to kill algae. Algaecide can cause foam. Alkalinity: How alkaline is measured in hot tub water, i.e. above 7.0 pH (see Total Alkalinity).

Meaning to kill algae. Algaecides perform best as a backup to a routine sanitation program. They also help to kill airborne spores as they blow into the pool. A variety of algae treatment products are available including copper and silver compounds, quat compounds, chlorine enhancers and herbicides. Algaecides are often formulated for a specific type of algae (green algae, mustard algae, black algae) with black algae being the hardest to treat.
