Goodbye Algae

By |2025-07-16T14:53:18+10:0021 January 2016|DIY Tips|

There’s nothing appealing about diving into a green murky swimming pool – it’s also dangerous and unhealthy. That cloudy discoloured water is the result of algae, a plant that thrives in water with a high pH level. It grows from spores and attaches to the skin of swimmers, resulting in a slimy feeling. While the slime washes off skin easily, the danger is when it attaches to pool stairs, sides and ladders, making them slippery.

Phosphate Free

Every summer, algal blooms in waterways cause headaches for health authorities across Australia. Unfortunately, the high phosphate levels that cause these blooms can also be found in home pools, posing a risk to swimmers even in their own backyards. Last summer some of the highest recorded levels of phosphate were found in pools across the country. The health risks of these blooms should not be underestimated, as the toxins they produce can cause people or animals to become seriously ill, and can even result in death. Another, lesser side-effect of excessive phosphate levels, is rapid chlorine consumption.
