Advanced Quaternary Formula for Total Algae Elimination
The active ingredient in Pooltrine 60, alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, attacks algae at the cellular level, breaking down its protective membrane and preventing regrowth. Unlike copper-based products, Pooltrine 60 achieves total algae control without metals, eliminating the risk of staining, scaling, or unwanted water tinting.
Its broad-spectrum effectiveness eliminates:
-
Green algae – the most common cause of cloudy, discolored water.
-
Mustard/yellow algae – stubborn growth on walls and steps.
-
Black algae – deep-rooted colonies that cling to porous surfaces.
Use Pooltrine 60 as part of your weekly maintenance program to keep your water consistently clear and sanitary.
Compatible with All Pool and Spa Systems
Whether you operate a chlorinated, brominated, or salt-chlorine generator system, Pooltrine 60 integrates seamlessly without affecting sanitizer levels or pH. Its non-metallic formulation makes it ideal for:
-
In-ground and above-ground pools
-
Vinyl, plaster, fiberglass, and painted surfaces
-
Commercial spas, therapy pools, and water features
This compatibility ensures you get powerful algae prevention without chemical conflict or equipment wear.
Easy to Use – Just Add and Circulate
Pooltrine 60 is a simple, pour-and-go treatment that works fast with your pool’s existing circulation system.
For Existing Algae
-
Brush affected areas to loosen algae growth.
-
Add 11–16 oz per 10,000 gallons of water directly to the pool.
-
Run the circulation system continuously for at least 24 hours.
-
Vacuum any remaining debris and backwash the filter.
For Weekly Preventative Maintenance
Add 2–4 oz per 10,000 gallons of pool water weekly. Regular use keeps algae spores from re-establishing, ensuring year-round protection and consistently clear water.
No Foam, No Residue, No Discoloration
One of the standout benefits of Applied Biochemists Pooltrine 60 is its non-foaming action. Unlike older quats or copper algaecides, this formula won’t cause surface foam, cloudy water, or metallic stains. It’s ideal for decorative fountains, commercial spas, and high-circulation systems where clarity and aesthetics matter.
The water stays clean, brilliant, and perfectly balanced, even immediately after treatment.
Complements Your Chlorine and Bromine Program
Rather than replacing your sanitizer, Pooltrine 60 works alongside it to improve efficiency. By controlling algae growth, it reduces organic load and helps chlorine maintain its disinfecting power.
This means:
-
Reduced chlorine demand
-
Lower chemical costs
Your sanitizer lasts longer, your filter runs cleaner, and your maintenance routine gets simpler.
Perfect for Residential and Commercial Pools
From backyard swimming pools to resort facilities, Applied Biochemists Pooltrine 60 is designed for both light-duty and high-use environments. Its strength and stability make it a popular choice for:
-
Hotels and recreation centers
-
HOA and apartment pools
-
Health clubs and therapy spas
-
Residential pools and water features
Professional pool operators rely on Pooltrine 60 because it delivers consistent performance with minimal maintenance, even under heavy swimmer load or extreme heat.
