Algaecide

 

Algaecide is the ultimate ally against the persistent threat of algae. Specially formulated as a non-metallic algaecide, this product boasts unrivalled effectiveness in eradicating all types of algae, including the notorious black, green, and mustard varieties. Say goodbye to algae troubles and hello to a crystal-clear swimming oasis.

Designed for both in-ground and above-ground pools, Algaecide is the epitome of simplicity in use, making weekly pool maintenance a breeze.

The concentrated formula ensures a swift response to algae infestations without leaving any stains or residues, guaranteeing a clean and inviting pool environment.

What sets Algaecide apart is its non-foaming copper-based composition resulting in rapid and safe elimination of algae in just a matter of hours. 

 

How It Works:

 

An algaecide disrupts algae's cellular processes, preventing them from growing in swimming pools and cooling towers.

 

Key Features

 

  • Non-metallic formula: Reduces staining risk.
  • Ammonia-based composition: Effectively controls algae.
  • Non-staining 
  • Foam-free performance: Avoids operational issues with filtration systems.
  • Specially formulated "wetting" prevents algae bonding

 

Application & Safety:

 

  • Dosage: Based on water volume, follow manufacturer's instructions.
  • Safety Precautions: Keep away from sunlight and avoid direct skin contact.

 

Did You Know?


A regular algaecide application is recommended by the WHO to prevent the growth of harmful cyanobacteria in recreational waters.

 

 

Calcium Hypochlorite

 

Your pool's best defence against harmful germs – Calcium Hypochlorite. A powerful white solid available in granular or tablet form that ensures a safe and enjoyable swimming experience. 

This remarkable compound is more than just a water treatment solution; it's a health guardian for pool enthusiasts. Designed to combat germs that can lead to various health issues such as:

 

  • diarrhoea,
  • swimmer's ear,
  • respiratory problems,
  • skin infections, and
  • wound infections,

 

Calcium Hypochlorite is the go-to choice for well-trained pool operators. 

Its efficiency lies in its ability to swiftly destroy harmful microorganisms, creating a clean and hygienic aquatic environment. But the benefits extend beyond the poolside. Spa and hot tub aficionados also benefit from the wonders of Calcium Hypochlorite, turning water recreation into a healthy and worry-free experience. 

This versatile chemical marvel doesn't stop at recreational water; it's also utilised in water treatment processes as a mixture with lime and calcium chloride, known as chlorine powder or bleach powder. This multipurpose compound goes beyond pools and water bodies, finding its way into kitchens for surface and equipment disinfection, bathroom cleaners, household disinfectant sprays, algaecides, herbicides, and even laundry detergents.

 

Key Uses:

 

  • Swimming pools & spas: Protects against waterborne diseases.
  • Municipal water treatment: Disinfects potable water.
  • Household & industrial sanitation: Found in disinfectant sprays and surface cleaners.

 

Safety Note:

 

  • Protect yourself from reactions by wearing gloves and storing separate from organic materials.
  • Make sure you follow local regulations, such as the EPA's disinfection guidelines, when applying disinfectants.

 

 Fact Check:


Did you know that Calcium Hypochlorite is commonly used for emergency water purification? According to the CDC, adding a small amount to water can make it safe for drinking in disaster-stricken areas.
