Pool Mate 1-Quart 2-Pack Premium Algaecide 50 – Made in USA | All Pool Types

Refreshingly clear water with Pool Mate Premium Algaecide 50

Pool Mate Premium Algaecide 50 helps keep your pool water clear by inhibiting algae growth. The formula is compatible with most pool chemicals and is non-metallic, so it won’t harm metal, paint, plastic, or non-porous glazed tile surfaces when used as directed.

Designed for ease, this algaecide requires no special equipment. You can add it directly to the water, ideally poured around the outside perimeter for even distribution. After application, wait 15 minutes before re-entering the pool and ensure all pool equipment is functioning properly.

How to apply and maintain

• Backwash the filter thoroughly and brush the pool to remove debris.
• Initial dose: 5.2 oz per 10,000 gallons of water, then vacuum to remove dead algae after 24 hours.
• If algae are visible, repeat the initial dose and brushing steps as needed.
• When algae are under control, return the system to normal operation and clean the filter.

Smart dosing and routine care

• Maintenance dose: 1.28 oz per 10,000 gallons every 3–5 days.
• Booster dose: add 1.28 oz per 10,000 gallons after heavy rainfall or high bathing loads.
• Adjust pH to 7.2–7.6 and chlorine residual to 1–3 ppm for balanced water.
• If using chlorine, add stabilizer to maintain 40–50 ppm to protect chlorine from sunlight.
