There are several methods available to prevent and control algae blooms in swimming pools. Maintaining the pool at an appropriate pH level (7.4-7.6) will help limit algae growth. Also, reducing the amount of phosphates in the pool can also prevent algae blooms. Properly disinfecting and cleaning the filtration system regularly will also help keep levels of phosphate reducing bacterial activity, thus decreasing algae growth.

In addition to chemical treatments, physical means for controlling algal growth may be employed, such as UV radiation or ultrasound devices that are installed at various locations on the pool walls.

Finally mechanical removal techniques may be employed if chemical and physical methods fail; this involves actually physically remove accumulated sludge from the bottom of the pool using special vacuums.

To prevent and control algae blooms in your swimming pool, you should keep the chemical levels (especially chlorine) consistent, balance the pH levels weekly, and filter the water daily during periods of heavy use. Additionally, brush the sides and bottom of the pool regularly and clean out leaves, twigs and other organic matter.
