Dull water, unpleasant green colouring, slimy, slippery walls... We don't want them in our pool!
Ocedis Anti-algae products combine algistatic and aligicidal action: they deactivate the algae and destroy it by piercing its cell membrane.
Algae are living organisms that can quickly turn your pool into a veritable swamp if left unchecked.
Certain conditions favour the development of algae:
When these conditions are met, algae can proliferate, making the water dull and green, and the pool walls slimy and slippery.
To get rid of algae, two solutions are generally recommended:
Preventive, effective at all pH levels
Acts against algae, limescale and rust stains
Special tiled concrete
Preventive and curative effect against resistant algae
Specific treatment to destroy mustard algae
Eliminates phosphates, depriving algae of their favourite food
Prevention is the best strategy for controlling algae in your pool. By maintaining good water circulation, regularly cleaning the walls and bottom of your pool and regularly testing the water quality, you can prevent algae proliferation before it becomes a problem.
Phosphate is a form of food for algae.
It is released by algae when they die, but it can also be present in garden fertilisers, household detergents and even naturally in the water in small quantities in the form of phosphorus. The higher the phosphate concentration in the water, the faster the algae can multiply.
This can lead to over-consumption of disinfectant and, ultimately, render the treatment ineffective at the recommended concentrations, as the algae multiply faster than they are eliminated.
To deal with this problem, we recommend eliminating all algae with a shock treatment of unstabilised chlorine (PCH Granulate) or stabilised chlorine (CHLORE CHOC 20 g or CHLORE RAPIDE V60), followed by the ANTI-PHOSPHATE product.
