SOL SERVICESBlack Algae Removal |

pool, skimmers, strainer baskets and filter. Brush the
Algae spots with a stainless steel brush. You might need to repeat this
several times as you if you are doing a major algae cleanup.

2. Check
and adjust pH.

3. Add
1 pound of Trichlor for every 3000 gallons of water.
Brush entire pool. On very bad Algae growth you can put Trichlor
directly on the spot. Never use this treatment on dark-colored plaster,
painted or vinyl lined pools. Use Liquid Chlorine instead at 1 gallon
for every 2,500 gallons.

the Circulation for 72 hours, brushing and vacuuming the entire pool at
