How to Prevent Algae Growth in Swimming Pools. Guaranteed Effective!!!

Algae often become a problem, especially during the rainy season. Algae can also be one of the issues you have to deal with when you own a swimming pool. It's not easy to clean algae in a swimming pool because you have to lower the water level to clean it. Moreover, since pools are frequently exposed to water, they are prone to algae growth if not properly maintained.

Here are the correct ways to maintain your swimming pool to prevent algae growth. Let's check it out!

1. Brush the pool walls

The first step in removing algae from your swimming pool is to use a pool wall brush.

Brushing the walls is the primary effort you should make when algae have already established in your pool.

2. Chlorine shock

Chlorine is the primary substance that can be used to kill algae and moss in your swimming pool. However, for stubborn algae, you may need a chlorine shock treatment.

This chlorine shock treatment involves adding chlorine to your pool more than once to kill microorganisms, algae, and moss that may be living in your pool. Excessive chlorine use can make the pool water unhealthy.

3. Use a sanitizer

Another method to eliminate algae in your swimming pool is by using a sanitizer.

Sanitizer is a substance that can be used to kill algae and moss on the pool walls.

4. Regularly vacuum the pool

By regularly vacuuming your swimming pool, you can gradually remove the algae that may be present.

If you want to get rid of algae quickly, you can combine pool vacuuming with other methods, such as brushing.

5. Don't forget to clean the pump and water filter

Another effort to prevent algae from growing in your swimming pool is to maintain the cleanliness of your water pump. The water pump constantly circulates a large amount of water.

The filter is also a crucial part to pay attention to because a dirty filter cannot effectively filter the water, which can not only lead to algae growth but also increase the operating costs for the filter and pump.

6. Use clean water sources

The source of water used in your pool can affect algae growth. Use clean water from natural sources for a healthier swimming experience.

7. Maintain pH levels

Maintaining the pH levels in your pool is also crucial because pH levels can affect the effectiveness of chlorine used as a sanitizer in your pool.

As mentioned earlier, the effectiveness of chlorine is greatly influenced by the acidic or alkaline nature of the environment. When chlorine is placed in an environment that is too acidic or too alkaline, it cannot work effectively to kill microorganisms and prevent the growth of algae and moss.

That's all from the article I've prepared. I hope it's helpful.

Keep healthy and happy. Thank you.
