Tips for Removing Moss and Slime in Swimming Pools Using Biocide Tablets
Owning a private pool or managing a public one is enjoyable, but there’s a common problem: algae and slime. According to literature, “algal growth in water systems is favored by sunlight, nutrients, and stagnant conditions” (Zhu et al., 2010). In other words, algae can quickly thrive in swimming pools that are not properly maintained. Apart from making the water cloudy and pool walls slippery, this condition can also affect skin and respiratory health.
Here are 5 tips to keep your pool clear, clean, and algae-free
1. Maintain Disinfectant Levels
Swimming pools should always have adequate disinfectant levels to prevent bacterial growth. If the level is too low, algae and slime will quickly spread.
2. Ensure Optimal Water Circulation
Stagnant water becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. Make sure pumps and filters are functioning well so that circulation remains smooth.
3. Regularly Clean Pool Walls and Floors
Brush the pool surface at least once a week to remove thin layers of algae before they get thicker.
4. Reduce Sunlight Exposure
Use a pool cover when not in use. Excessive sunlight accelerates algae and biofilm growth.
5. Use Organic Biocide Aquaright B-Tab
For maximum results, use Aquaright B-Tab, an organic biocide tablet effective against algae, fungi, and slime in pools. Simply place it in the water circulation line, with a dosage of 1 tablet per 4m of water (depending on water flow rate). B-Tab works to keep water clearer, healthier, and safer to use. According to Sink et al. (2014), “the routine use of chlorine tablets and algaecides has been proven to prevent algae growth and maintain water clarity.”
