How Do You Remove Algae From An Above-Ground Pool?
Removing algae in an above-ground pool takes a little time. Before anyone enters the pool that has algae forming, it should be cleaned to protect the health of the swimmers. A pool that has algae in it is not the safest water to swim in, especially for young children who may swallow some of the water. Severe algae can take a few days to clean, but if you catch it when it starts, it should disappear within a day. Brush the walls and steps with the pool brush. Move the debris to the pool bottom for easy removal with the vacuum. Use the skimmer net to remove any debris and floating algae on the water surface. Test the pH level in the pool. The ideal level of pH should be between 7.2 and 7.4. Use the pH increaser or reducer to adjust the pH level. Test the chlorine level and add chlorine if the level has fallen below the ideal level according to the test kit markings. Use enough chlorine according to the directions for the pool size on the bottle of chlorine. Turn on the filter and vacuum
