3 Algae Species Professional Cleaners Will Help Eliminate

Hello and welcome to my new pool blog. My name is William and I live with my wife and our pet cats in a small town in Eastern Australia. I worked very hard last year and saved a lot of money so we could have a new pool installed on our property. We had a fantastic summer of swimming in it. It was a lot of fun. However, I recently noticed that it was beginning to get cloudy. I had no idea why. My friend who is a pool contractor inspected the pool and explained I needed to add some cleaning chemicals. I decided to start a blog to help others who are having problems with their pools.

If you want your pool to be in good shape for a long time and meet all your swimming needs, regular cleaning isn't optional. If you skip cleaning often, your sparkling pool will become a swamp full of algae. Beating algae isn't easy if you don't understand what they are, how they grow and their types. You don't use the same cleaning method to eradicate different algae species in the pool since some are more stubborn than others. That's why eradicating algae in the pool can be a difficult task if you always clean it yourself. Professional pool cleaners know the necessary cleaning techniques and substances to use to eliminate any algae species. Here are algae species professional pool cleaners will help remove completely:

Yellowish Algae

Although yellowish algae don't grow quickly like the other species, they are still hard to eliminate sometimes. Using a brush to clean yellow algae isn't enough because the chlorine or algaecides you use could get to the under-layer of the pool and damage it. However, if you contact professional cleaners, they could use super-chlorination to remove the growth effectively. If you don't know how to handle some of these pool cleaning chemicals, they might harm you in a big way, and that's why pool cleaning should be left to pool cleaners.

Greenish Algae

Most pools that aren't regularly cleaned are prone to green algae growth. The algae appear on the pool surface as green slime, but they get darker with time. Besides using the right brush to remove the algae, professional cleaners also sanitise the pool water so they won't grow back and expose your pool to structural damage. Experienced cleaners know the cleaning chemicals that kill the greenish growth and how to use them safely. If you don't know the right cleaning equipment and techniques to use, the algae will overrun your pool because they grow quickly. The more you skip professional pool cleaning, the harder removing the algae becomes.

Black or Dark Algae

Among the various algae species that grow in the pools, the black type is the most stubborn and dangerous you can come across. If you see black dirt particles or specks at the bottom of your pool, then black algae could be growing. Before the algae expand outwardly, they first appear as black specks. Although you can easily clean black algae dots, they might be harder to clean when they grow larger and spread throughout the pool. Black algae usually grow deep into the pool's concrete or plaster, and it may not be easy to clean them out if you don't have professional cleaning skills.

If you have algae growth in your pool, don't get dismayed because you aren't alone. However, trying to clean it yourself might be more exhausting and frustrating. So get a professional pool cleaner to remove the algae growing in your pool and restore its sparkling effect.
