Yellow, green or black… which algae do you have?

If your pool is looking tired and old, it may be that it just needs a clean. Algae can grow on the tiles and grout joints, making the pool look grubby.

There are over 21,000 different types of algae. Many that occur in swimming pools fall into the following categories:

Green Algae Green algae is the most common algae. It can reduce water clarity and form a slimy coating.

Yellow Algae Yellow algae usually grows in the shade and can be difficult to eradicate completely.

Black Algae Black algae forms dark spots. The algae heads have a protective layer and their deep forming roots can make them difficult to eradicate, without the necessary skills and expertise.
