Oxy-Pool for Removal of Algae in Pools

Oxy-Pool For Removal of Algae in Pools

One of the major problems in pools is the occurrence of algae, either during the winter months when the pool is not in use or if the pool is left for a few days without treatment during the swimming season.
Oxy-Pool (sodium percarbonate is the main ingredient) at a concentration of 80-100 ppm (About one pound per 1000 gallons of water) achieves good clarification of algae infested water (which often appears as a whitish haze).

When added to water, Oxy-Pool immediately disassociates to natural soda ash (essentially inert except for slightly increasing the pH of the water) and hydrogen peroxide which oxidizes algae and other organic matter.

Oxy-Pool can be used in all types of pools, but is ideally suited for vinyl lined pools and will not attack or bleach out the lining’s color. (Chlorine releasing compounds tend to discolor and deteriorate vinyl liners over time.)

Oxy-Pool is compatible with the more expensive Quat algaecides, and can be economically used to pretreat an algae infested pool 2-3 days prior to the use of normal treatment methods.

NOTE: OXY-Pool may raise pH - pH levels should be monitored closely when using this product!
