Persistent algae problems are rarely solved by chlorine alone. Certain algae strains—especially mustard and resistant green algae—can survive normal sanitizer levels and quickly return if not treated correctly. The Applied Biochemists Algaetrine 2000 is a professional-grade, non-metallic algaecide designed to both eliminate existing algae and prevent future growth without introducing metals that can stain pool surfaces.

Unlike copper-based algaecides, Algaetrine 2000 controls algae through a powerful polymer-based formula that disrupts algae cell growth while remaining compatible with chlorine, bromine, and saltwater systems. This makes it an ideal choice for pools where staining, foaming, or cloudy water must be avoided.

This is a commercial-quality algaecide used by pool professionals—not a diluted retail algae treatment.


Why Non-Metallic Algaecides Matter

Metal-based algaecides can solve one problem while creating another. Copper and silver products often lead to surface staining, green hair, and water discoloration—especially in high-pH or hard-water environments.

The Algaetrine 2000 formula provides effective algae control without metals, making it safe for plaster, vinyl, fiberglass, and painted pool surfaces. It also works synergistically with chlorine, allowing sanitizers to remain effective without excessive shocking.


Designed for Ongoing Algae Prevention and Treatment

Algaetrine 2000 can be used both as a preventative maintenance algaecide and as part of an active algae treatment program. When used regularly, it helps suppress algae spores before they can establish growth. When used during an algae outbreak, it enhances chlorine effectiveness and shortens recovery time.

Because it does not foam, it is suitable for pools with water features, spillovers, and negative-edge designs.


Built for Professional Pool Care Programs

Applied Biochemists products are widely used in commercial and service-industry pool care due to their consistency and reliability. Algaetrine 2000 is formulated for predictable dosing and repeatable results, making it suitable for residential pools, commercial facilities, and service routes.

Its concentrated formulation allows for efficient treatment without overdosing, helping maintain water clarity and balance.


When to Use Algaetrine 2000

This algaecide is recommended when:

  • Algae continues to return despite proper chlorine levels

  • Metal-free algae control is required

  • Preventing algae during warm weather or heavy bather load

  • Treating mustard, green, or resistant algae strains

  • Avoiding staining or water discoloration

Using a non-metallic algaecide as part of routine maintenance helps keep pools consistently clear.


Practical Solution for Pool Owners and Service Professionals

For pool owners, Algaetrine 2000 provides peace of mind by controlling algae without risking stains or surface damage. For service professionals, it offers a dependable, non-foaming solution that integrates easily into weekly maintenance programs.

Consistent algae control reduces shock demand, improves water clarity, and supports balanced chemistry.
