can this be used to control algae in pools

No. However, my dad used to use copper sulfate to control algae in his catfish ponds. (I said used to - he is now deceased.) Hope this helps.

NO, only for plants to control fungus. Very bad for humans. Look at a product called Pool Perfect Phos Free Plus. This stuff works great kills the food in the water that forms Algae. I have been using it for years weekly in my pool. Pool stays perfect and also makes the water feel soft. Amazon sells it, Hope this helps. Paul

The system has a boost mode that acts as a shock by generating copper with the chlorine. The copper will kill any algae or pathogens. It will run 6 times longer than usual. My pool looked like the black lagoon when I tried it then was krystal clear 24 hours later

I have know idea. I used it on a Patio with black algae / mold. It took about a week... followed directions and re-treated. It cleaned it up and I have not had to use it since. I would buy it again, but it looks like I will not have to.

I doubt it. You need to rid your pool of BA and then focus on water chemistry. Go to troublefreepools.com for help with black algae

It uses a hose to push debris into a net. I dont think it would be able to scrape the algae the way a suction vac would. But maybe you could get into the pool with a mop to break it up first and between the intex cleaner and the filter it would clear it.

I use this product to keep algae out of my outside fountain. Never heard it used for inside a bathtub.

it retains almost everything down to the sand particles. If treated the algae normally turn to solid so I would guess it could. Never have I had to deal with algae then again I own a spa.

Definitely not. It isn't even powerful enough to pick up the algae flakes. And, the way it's designed to turn on and off causes water to seep into the battery compartment if your not careful. Al in all, a complete waste of money.

I haven't tried it with anything soft. I would not expect it to work with algae. Too soft and flexible.

I haven't had success with this aquabot picking up algae at all. Have run it twice with no luck. You're better off getting the pool rover jr.

It can be used for anything I suppose. As long as you do not run more than 8 gallons per minute through the unit. These are designed for whole house application and using it for a recirculating application like a pool would not eliminate the bacteria as if there is bacteria present in the pool, all water has to be treated at once, it would infect the clean water as fast as the UV put it back into the pool.

I suggest putting algicide and chlorine in your pool to kill whatever it is that growing. This pool cleaner picks up everything on the bottom. I have never had an algae problem so I can't say that it will clean it off your pool.

I would not say this is made for that purpose. It is primarily for a sump pump and that is the reason I bought it. I think a pool with with the chemicals would be too corrosiveand this pump is made to be submerged during operation.

Although the HTH pool shock did help, I still had to take out and fully clean the pool filter. The shocker will certainly kill algae, but, it will not get rid of pollen or dirt coming off the trees and the ground. I have a few large trees around my pool and have to clean the filter every 3 months, at least, as dirt sits at the bottom of the filter holder and stats to clog up the pipes going from pool filter and into the pool. Short answer, yes, this product kills algae, but, will not kill dirt. I suggest you do both, use this product to kill any signs of algae while also fully cleaning your filter and pipes going into it and from it.

No. The label reads that the product can only be used in unused swimming pools standing water etc. There are label warnings about toxicity. We only use them for our rain barrel or standing water to eliminate mosquito larvae.

It's only for removing debris. Chemicals are needed to prevent bacteria and algae from growing.

I have a 32 x 15 IG pool. Two 3" in the float, and 1 in the Skimmer. I never have Algae or low chlorine issues. run2-3 ppm of FC. (I also run an Ozone generator) I just add a tab as the existing tabs get to less than half their original size.
