Treat Before You Turn on Your Solar
I took the preventative route this year, instead of the reactive. Here in the desert when I make the move to turn on my solar heater, the algae just seems to be waiting to bloom. This year I treated the pool with the XtraBlue Algaecide before hand and haven’t seen one bit of algae. Just like the saying goes. Any ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

I received this product at just the right time as I was opening my pool. I used it per the directions to prevent algae build-up. I can’t comment on the results yet – it’s too soon to tell, but I’m sure it works as stated because it’s Clorox. Ease of Use: 4 Effectiveness: 4
Did exactly what it was made for!
I finally got my pool up and running but the water was pretty dirty with a lot of algae. I received XtraBlue Algaecide and decided to see if it would work. It does a really great job! It made my life a lot easier than having to continue vacuuming the pool. I followed the directions and within a couple hours, my pool was clear again. Very happy with this product.

Best Algicide Made
Destroys algicide and makes the water crystal in almost overnight.

Fantastic Solution for Algae Outbreaks!
Here in North Texas, the hot summer sun can warm pools to the point of algae bloom. When that happens, one dose of this XtraBlue Algaecide is all you need to have clear, blue water once again! Think of it as a mega-shock. You just loosen all the algae from around the walls of the pool with a coarse brush and then treat with this wondrous product, and your problem is solved very quickly.
