What will kill red fungus in swimming pool?
Red or pink algae in a swimming pool is actually a bacteria. The most common cause is contamination from swimming suits when going from the ocean to the pool. Chlorine is the most effective treatment. Algae products will not work because it is not a true algae.
What is causing red algae in the pool and how can you clear it up?
Red Algae is a bacteria... not an algae. It shows up on pool surfaces as loose, rust colored specks or clinging, bright red almost like a bright pink patches. Use a double dose of shock treatment.
Why does your pool smell of algae?
cause of the algae in your pool! c.s.
Can a pool get orange algae?
Yes, a pool can get orange algae.
Can you swim in a pool with mustard algae?
Test your water for phosphates. Leaves contain it and phosphates are a growth nutrient for algae. Always use a sodium bromide based algaecide when dealing with yellow algae. (Yellow/brown/mustard algae is chlorine resistant.)
Can you swim after adding algae control?
According to many labels on most algicides, you don't have to wait. Actually from the pool guy at the pool store, it will help to mix in the algicide. Just be sure to take a shower when you are done swimming, and make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients before you swim.
You' have red stuff growing on pool liner?
Hmm, are you in Florida? Sounds like "pink algae".
Will turning up your salt water chlorinator kill algae?
Generally, yes, although you might need to shock the pool to kill the algae and then maintain a higher level of chlorine than you were (assuming the level of chlorination was too low). Also check the pool pH, and never swim in a pool that's excessively chlorinated.
When can you swim after adding algicide and shock?
A person can go swimming in a pool a few minutes after adding algae treatment and shock to the water. This is provided that a low dose was used. The manufacturers of the algae treatment recommend that a person waits 45 minutes to an hour to swim after adding a normal dose.
Can you swim with high levels of phosphates?
In a word, Yes. Phosphates are really a non issue. Phosphates are an algae food but IF YOU ARE MAINTAINING PROPER FREE CHLORINE LEVELS for the CYA level in your pool they are a non issue and you will not get algae. Phosphates are also often not the limiting factor in algae growth. Nitrates are also algae food and the only way to remove nitrates from pool water is by water change. There is not a nitrate remover that a pool store can sell you so nitrates are not normally tested. Phosphate removers have become big business and big profits for pool stores and chemical distributors but they are an entirely unnecessary product 99% of the time if proper pool maintenance is followed. High phosphate water is perfectly safe to swim in.
What do you do if your pool has green algae and black algae spots?
If it is genuine 'black algae' it is very difficult to remove without emptying the pool and gouging the black algae out of the pool surface. Other algae can be removed by shocking the pool, filtering continuously and brushing walls while maintaining a good sanitizer level.
