When algae appears, it rarely waits. Green water can develop quickly, yellow algae can cling stubbornly to surfaces, and black algae can take hold deep within porous finishes. Applied Biochemists Algaetrine is a fast-acting pool algaecide designed to kill existing algae quickly and control future growth without staining surfaces or creating foam.

This professional-grade algaecide is commonly used by pool service technicians when immediate algae control is required. Algaetrine works efficiently across multiple algae types, making it a dependable solution for corrective treatments as well as short-term algae management during high-risk conditions.


Why Fast Algae Control Matters

Once algae establishes itself, it consumes sanitizer, clouds water, and places extra strain on filtration systems. Delayed treatment often leads to higher chemical demand and longer recovery times.

Fast algae control matters because it helps:

  • Stop algae growth before it spreads

  • Restore water clarity more quickly

  • Reduce chlorine loss caused by active algae

  • Prevent algae from embedding into pool surfaces

Applied Biochemists Algaetrine is designed for situations where speed and effectiveness matter most.


How Applied Biochemists Algaetrine Works

Algaetrine uses a powerful algaecide formulation that attacks algae cells directly, disrupting their structure and preventing reproduction. This fast-acting chemistry allows visible algae to be controlled quickly when paired with proper brushing and filtration.

Because the formula is non-staining and non-foaming, it can be used confidently in pools with water features, spas, and high circulation without leaving residue or discoloration behind.


When to Use Applied Biochemists Algaetrine

Algaetrine is best used in corrective or rapid-response scenarios, including:

  • Active green, yellow, or black algae outbreaks

  • Cloudy or green water conditions

  • After heavy rain, extreme heat, or neglect

  • Pools with sudden sanitizer loss

  • Spot treatment alongside brushing and shock

While highly effective for fast control, Algaetrine is often paired with a preventative algaecide program for long-term algae resistance.


Compatibility with Pool Systems & Surfaces

Applied Biochemists Algaetrine is safe for use in most standard pool environments. It is compatible with chlorine pools and professionally managed systems.

It can be used on plaster, pebble, fiberglass, and vinyl-lined pools and works with cartridge, sand, and DE filters. When used according to label directions, it will not foam, stain, or interfere with normal pool operation.


Professional-Grade Corrective Treatment

Algaetrine is formulated for technicians who need rapid algae knockdown, not slow preventative control. Its strength makes it ideal for pools that need to recover quickly from visible algae problems.

Because it acts fast, proper brushing, circulation, and filtration should always accompany treatment to fully remove dead algae and restore clarity.


Application & Treatment Best Practices

For best results, visible algae should be brushed prior to application to expose growth to treatment. Algaetrine should be added to circulating water and allowed to distribute evenly throughout the pool.

Filtration should run continuously during treatment, and dead algae should be removed through vacuuming or backwashing as needed. Maintaining proper sanitizer levels after treatment helps prevent recurrence.

Always follow manufacturer label instructions for dosing and safety.
