Swimming Pool Maintenance is an ongoing battle against algae and perfect pool water. Here are the 3 types of algae that may infest your pool if proper Mckinney Swimming Pool Maintenance is not done.

Green Algae

Green algae floats in the water, making it cloudy and giving the water a greenish tint. It is the most common and easiest algae problem to kill. Slimy green algae also attach themselves to your pool walls and floor. Poor filtration and lack of proper sanitization boost green algae growth.

Yellow Algae

Yellow algae are sometimes called ‘mustard algae’ because of their distinctive color. Yellow algae do not grow quite as fast as green algae, but it is harder to get rid of once it arrives. For Yellow algae removal, most likely we need to shock your pool and add algaecide as well. Just the same approach as we do with black algae removal.

Black Algae

This nasty offender makes its own food, so it grows and grows. To get rid of your black algae, you must thoroughly brush with an algae brush to break open the heads so they can be killed with an algaecide. Because of how difficult it is to get rid of, it’s best to mitigate this from happening by investing in swimming pool maintenance from Allied Aquatics before it ever happens.
