How do I get rid of Green algae?

We have two products you can use for green algae.

For lighter blooms, you can use Green Treat. Add 2 lbs. (one bottle) per 20,000 gallons, brush, and shock the pool.

For heavier denser blooms of green algae, we recommend Swamp Treat. Start by vacuuming to waste as much debris on the bottom of the pool as possible. Add 1 lb. (one bottle) per 20,000 gallons, brush and shock the pool.

You can find more information in the Directions tab on the product pages for each product.
