Algae are microscopic single celled forms of plant life that are introduced into the pool water in particular by wind and rain from the atmosphere. Algae contain chlorophyll and are one of the hardiest and most widespread living organisms on this planet, existing in over 30,000 different varieties. Algaecides are mainly used in weekly prevention of algae growth. Each algaecide has its own formula that helps safeguard your pool from potential algae blooms. Others contain specific formulas geared to the elimination of certain forms of algae.
