HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE BLACK ALGAE?

You can identify black algae in your pool by observing certain characteristics:

Appearance: Black algae typically appear as dark green or black spots or patches on pool surfaces, including walls, steps, and corners.

Texture: Black algae have a slimy or velvety texture that can feel rough to the touch, unlike other types of algae.

Resistance: Black algae are resistant to brushing and may not easily come off with regular pool cleaning methods.

Growth: Black algae tend to grow in areas with poor circulation or where there are cracks or crevices for them to attach and thrive.

If you notice any of these signs in your pool, it's advisable to consult a professional pool service company like Triton Pools for proper identification and effective treatment of black algae.

OUR SOLUTIONS

How do you fix black algae?

Option 1 - Draining and Scrubbing: In severe cases of black algae infestation, draining the pool and physically scrubbing the walls and surfaces with a stiff-bristled brush or pool scrubber can effectively remove the algae. This method allows for thorough cleaning of the affected areas and ensures that the algae is completely eliminated.

Option 2- Algaecide Treatment: Apply a specially formulated algaecide designed to target and kill black algae. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully for proper dosage and application method. Algaecide treatments are effective for larger areas of black algae infestation and can help prevent its recurrence when used in conjunction with regular pool maintenance.

**WHERE DOES BLACK ALGAE COME FROM?**

UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM

Black algae is considered the hardest algae to get rid of due to several factors:

Adherence: Black algae have a strong outer layer that protects them from harsh chemicals and brushing. This makes them difficult to remove from pool surfaces, even with vigorous scrubbing.

Root System: Unlike other algae types, black algae develop a root-like structure that penetrates into porous or rough pool surfaces, such as plaster or concrete.

Resistance: Black algae are highly resistant to chlorine and other standard pool sanitizers. They can thrive in environments with low chlorine levels or inconsistent maintenance practices.

Persistence: Black algae can persistently reoccur in pools, especially if not properly treated or if the underlying causes, such as poor water circulation or inadequate sanitation, are not addressed.
