Pool algaecides are essential products for preventing and eliminating algae growth in swimming pool water. Thanks to their preventive and disinfecting action, they help maintain clean, transparent, and healthy pool water throughout the swimming season.
At Mercapool, you will find algaecide treatments suitable for all types of pools, from above-ground pools to large in-ground swimming pools.
Why does algae appear in pools?
Algae usually develop due to chemical imbalances, high temperatures, insufficient disinfection, or poor filtration systems.
When algae spread, pool water may become green, cloudy, and slippery, affecting both the appearance and safety of the pool.
Advantages of using pool algaecides
Prevents algae growth: avoids green water and slippery surfaces.
Keeps water crystal clear: improves water transparency and cleanliness.
Reduces maintenance: minimizes the need for intensive recovery treatments.
Compatible with other treatments: works alongside chlorine, bromine, or salt chlorination systems.
Protects pool equipment and surfaces: prevents organic buildup inside the filtration circuit.
