Algae problems don’t start overnight—and they rarely end with just killing what you can see. In many pools, algae keeps coming back because the underlying fuel source remains in the water. Poolife® AlgaePhos Algaecide is designed to solve that exact problem by combining powerful algae control with phosphate removal in one product, helping prevent recurring algae blooms and keeping pool water consistently clear.

Unlike standard algaecides that focus only on visible growth, Poolife AlgaePhos targets both active algae and the phosphates that feed it. Phosphates enter pool water from fertilizers, rain, debris, and swimmer waste, and even well-sanitized pools can struggle with algae if phosphate levels remain elevated. AlgaePhos removes this nutrient source while actively controlling algae growth, making it a smart long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.

At Benchmark Pool Supply, AlgaePhos is used when customers are tired of treating algae over and over again. It’s especially effective in pools that look clean one week and develop algae again the next, despite proper chlorine levels and filtration.

Why Algae Keeps Coming Back

Many pool owners assume algae means low chlorine, but that’s only part of the equation. Algae can survive and reappear when phosphates are present, even in properly balanced pools. These phosphates act as food, allowing algae spores to grow rapidly once conditions allow.

Shocking the pool may kill visible algae, but it does nothing to remove the nutrients that caused the problem. Poolife® AlgaePhos Algaecide addresses both sides of the issue—killing algae and removing its food source—so the problem doesn’t repeat itself.

Dual-Action Formula: Algaecide + Phosphate Remover

Poolife AlgaePhos is formulated to work on two critical levels at once. First, it acts as an effective algaecide, controlling existing algae and preventing new growth. At the same time, it binds and removes phosphates from the water, reducing the nutrients algae need to survive.

This dual-action approach makes AlgaePhos ideal for pools with chronic algae problems, high environmental exposure, or recurring water quality issues that traditional treatments fail to solve.

Ideal for Preventative and Corrective Use

Poolife® AlgaePhos Algaecide can be used both as a corrective treatment and as part of an ongoing prevention strategy. It is especially useful in:

Pools with recurring green, mustard, or black algae
Pools exposed to fertilizer runoff, landscaping, or heavy rain
Pools with high swimmer load or frequent debris
Saltwater pools struggling with algae despite proper chlorine output

Because it targets phosphates, AlgaePhos helps stabilize water conditions so sanitizers can work more effectively over time.

Compatible with Modern Pool Systems

Poolife AlgaePhos is designed for use in most residential swimming pools and works with in-ground and above-ground pools alike. It is compatible with chlorine pools, bromine pools, and saltwater pools, and it does not interfere with salt chlorine generators when used as directed.

When properly applied, it integrates smoothly into a regular pool maintenance program without disrupting balanced water chemistry.

Application Guidance for Best Results

For best performance, apply Poolife® AlgaePhos Algaecide according to label instructions while the pump is running to ensure even distribution. Regular circulation allows the product to work efficiently throughout the water column.

Routine filter maintenance is recommended after treatment, especially when phosphates are being removed from the water. This ensures captured contaminants are fully removed from the system and prevents reintroduction.
