The best way to get rid of yellow algae in a swimming pool is Suncoast Stop Yellow. When used in conjunction with Suncoast Gold Liquid Chlorinating Shock, Stop Yellow is the most effective method to quickly clear yellow algae and help prevent it from coming back. This product dissolves immediately and is fast acting. Stop Yellow will control algae growth and maintain clear water when used as directed. See below for complete directions.
While liquid and granular chlorine have been proven to be effective sanitizers, using an algaecide that is designed to treat yellow algae specifically is the smartest way to get rid of the problem quickly. When the active ingredient in Stop Yellow, sodium bromide, combines with chlorine it creates hypobromous acid. This compound is extremely effective at inactivating and killing microorganisms like algae.
It is much easier to prevent algae than to remove it. One of the simplest ways to prevent algae is to brush your pool walls regularly. Following the ABCs of Pool Care and using All In One Algaecide is also recommended. All In One keeps your pool algae free, is non-foaming and contains clarifying properties to keep your water sparkling when used on a weekly basis.
*For severe cases, you may need to increase the dosage requirements. Consult with a Pinch A Penny expert if you suspect you may have an extreme algae bloom.
