Algae are living creatures that multiply quite efficiently when conditions are optimal. These conditions apply in Central Florida which includes warmer temperatures, lots of sunshine and an imbalance in pool water that leaves chlorine levels lacking. Yellow algae most frequently shows up on the shady side of the pool and it can be resistant to the typical chlorine levels. Yellow algae cause major headaches for a pool owner. Algae can clog filters and use up chlorine that is needed to keep other contaminants at bay. It is important to hit yellow algae as hard as you can and as fast as you can to ensure it goes away completely and doesn’t return. We use PoolRX to treat algae, as these pictures were take 4 days apart.

However, you should test your water at least once per week. The most important aspects you need to look for is your chlorine levels, and your pH levels.
