Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does Poolife™ AlgaePhos™ do that other algaecides don’t?
A: It combines powerful algae-killing action with a phosphate remover — eliminating both algae and the nutrients that help it grow. Most algaecides only treat visible algae.
Q: How often should I use this product?
A: Start with an initial dose and follow up with weekly maintenance to prevent algae and phosphate buildup.
Q: Will this affect my pool water balance?
A: No. It works independently of your water chemistry and won’t affect pH, alkalinity or hardness levels.
Q: Can I use this with a saltwater generator or other sanitizer?
A: Yes. It’s compatible with all common sanitizer systems and pool types.
Q: Can I use this product even if I don’t currently see algae in my pool?
A: Yes. Poolife™ AlgaePhos™ is ideal for preventative maintenance—its phosphate remover eliminates the nutrients algae need to grow, making it an effective preemptive treatment.
Q: Do I still need to shock my pool if I’m using AlgaePhos™?
A: Yes, shocking is still recommended as part of a complete pool care routine, especially after heavy use, rain or visible algae. AlgaePhos™ helps reduce the frequency and severity of shocks by targeting algae and phosphates.
Q: Will this cloud the water or affect filter performance?
A: No. Poolife™ AlgaePhos™ is a non-foaming, fast-dispersing formula that won’t cloud water or clog filters. In fact, it can enhance filter performance by reducing organic buildup.
Q: How do I know if my phosphate levels are high?
A: High phosphate levels can be measured using a phosphate test kit, available at most pool retailers. If you’re seeing recurring algae blooms despite proper sanitation, phosphates may be the culprit.
