Winter Pool Algaecide Mistakes 🦠

Get the POOL CARE HANDBOOK at www.SwimU.com/book ???? Are you adding winter algaecide to your pool? Here are 2 mistakes that could cost you in the spring when you open: #1. Adding it with shock. Never add algaecide and shock at the same time. The shock will make your algaecide less effective. Add shock first, wait 24 hours, then add your algaecide before covering the pool. #2. Using copper-based algaecide. Using too much winter algaecide with copper can cause staining, especially if you have metals in your water or use a mineral system. Stick with polyquat algaecide to prevent stains. Make sure to check the active ingredients before buying.
