Stop Algae Before It Starts
Algae are a common problem for pool owners. These microscopic plants
come into your pool from rain, wind, or even from the skin and hair of swimmers. What starts as a virtually invisible invader can turn your pool into a slimy green mess overnight, or leave unsightly black, brown or yellow patches on pool surfaces.

Luckily, there are ways to head off algae outbreaks. If you have followed these start-up instructions thus far, you have already taken the first step to preventing algae by treating your pool with ProTeam Supreme.

Still, we recommend the regular use of an algaecide to insure against algae. As listed below, we offer a variety of algae treatments. Check with your ProTeam dealer for the product that is right for you and follow label directions for start-up and maintenance treatments.

ProTeam Prevent – As the name suggests, this excellent algaecide provides an effective defense against algae growth. It is a broad-spectrum algaecide and is non-staining and will not affect the balance of your pool water.

ProTeam Polyquat 60 – This highly concentrated algaecide also provides an effective defense against algae growth. It is non-foaming and non-staining.

Mustard & Black Magic – This powerful Bromide does not contain ammonia and effectively removes all forms of algae. It is a particularly powerful Mustard & Black algae killer.

Liquid Magic – This algaecide is used to start an economical and preventative treatment program. This Sodium Bromide formulation keeps water free from algae and promotes sparkling clear pool water.
