Anti-fouling
Optimising water quality in public pools with anti-algae treatments
Algae is a formidable enemy in the world of communal pools.
Its presence can make the water cloudy, greenish and unattractive, compromising the swimming experience for users.
To prevent and eliminate algae effectively, pool managers need to use specific anti-algae treatments.
Importance of preventive use
Anti-algae treatments
Prevention is often the key to effectively combating algae in public swimming pools.
By regularly using preventative anti-algae treatments, pool managers can maintain clear, clean, algae-free water, providing an optimal swimming experience for users.
What's more, preventing algae helps reduce the need to use more expensive and aggressive shock treatments to eliminate the algae already present.

Understanding algae
Invisible pool enemies
Algae are microscopic plant organisms that thrive in aquatic environments rich in nutrients and light.
In swimming pools, algae can develop rapidly in the absence of appropriate prevention and treatment measures.
The main varieties of algae found in swimming pools are green, yellow and black algae, each presenting its own challenges in terms of treatment and prevention.
Use of anti-algae treatments
Prevention and disposal
Anti-algae treatments are chemical products specially formulated to prevent the growth of algae and eliminate existing algae in swimming pools.
Here's how they work:
Prevention
Preventive anti-algae treatments are generally added to pool water on a regular basis to water on a regular basis to prevent the growth of algae. These products create a chemical barrier that makes the water inhospitable to algae, reducing the risk of algae formation.
Elimination
In the event of an algae infestation, shock algae treatments can be used to quickly to quickly eliminate existing algae. These products are often highly concentrated in active agents and may require intensive treatment to restore restore water clarity.

JET 35 algae remover combines algistatic and algicide action!
It acts against algae as well as limescale and traces of rust.
Phosphate
An invisible enemy of water quality
Phosphates are chemical compounds containing phosphorus, an essential element for plant and algae growth.
In swimming pools, phosphates can come from a variety of sources, such as fill water, organic debris and water treatment chemicals. The build-up of phosphates creates a favourable environment for algae growth, compromising water clarity and swimmer safety.
Ocedis phosphate remover is a formulation specially designed to neutralise the phosphates present in swimming pool water. It is effective even when the pH is unbalanced.
In public pools, the preventive use of anti-phosphate is strongly recommended, to avoid over-consumption of anti-algae products or shock treatments.
