Algae problems don’t just make a pool look bad—they interfere with sanitation, strain filtration systems, and can quickly turn balanced water into an ongoing maintenance issue. Applied Biochemists Pooltrine 60 is a professional-strength, non-foaming algaecide designed to kill existing algae and prevent future growth without introducing metals or causing foam.

Formulated with a 60% polyquat concentration, Pooltrine 60 is trusted by pool service professionals for routine maintenance, algae prevention, and recovery after water problems. It works effectively across all pool types while remaining gentle on surfaces, equipment, and swimmers when used as directed.

Why Algae Control Matters

Algae spores are constantly introduced into pool water through wind, rain, swimmers, and source water. Once established, algae can spread rapidly, consume sanitizer, and create slippery surfaces.

Proper algae control matters because it helps:

• Prevent green, mustard, and black algae outbreaks

• Reduce chlorine demand and sanitizer loss

• Maintain clear, visually clean water

• Protect pool surfaces and filtration efficiency

Applied Biochemists Pooltrine 60 supports a stable sanitation system by stopping algae before it becomes a recurring problem.

How Applied Biochemists Pooltrine 60 Works

Pooltrine 60 uses a non-metallic polyquat algaecide formula that attacks algae cell walls, disrupting growth and reproduction. Because it does not contain copper or other metals, it will not cause staining on plaster, fiberglass, pebble, or vinyl surfaces.

The non-foaming formulation makes it especially suitable for pools with features such as waterfalls, spas, in-floor cleaners, and high-circulation systems where standard algaecides may create foam or residue.

When to Use Applied Biochemists Pooltrine 60

Pooltrine 60 is effective in both preventative maintenance and corrective treatment scenarios, including:

• Weekly or routine algae prevention programs

• After heavy rain, heat waves, or high bather loads

• Following algae cleanup or shock treatments

• Pools with recurring algae issues

• Saltwater and high-circulation pool systems

It is designed to complement chlorine sanitation, not replace it, making it ideal for long-term water clarity management.

Compatibility with Pool Systems & Surfaces

Applied Biochemists Pooltrine 60 is safe for use in all common pool configurations. It is compatible with chlorine pools, saltwater pools, and professionally managed systems.

It can be used on plaster, pebble, fiberglass, and vinyl-lined pools and works alongside cartridge, sand, and DE filters. Because it is non-metallic and non-foaming, it will not interfere with heaters, pumps, or automatic cleaners when applied correctly.

Professional-Grade Polyquat Formula

Not all algaecides are created equal. Pooltrine 60’s high-strength 60% polyquat concentration provides longer-lasting algae protection compared to lower-percentage consumer products. This allows for more predictable dosing and extended prevention between applications.

Service professionals rely on Pooltrine 60 because it integrates cleanly into weekly maintenance routines without clouding water or destabilizing chemistry.

Application & Maintenance Best Practices

For best results, Pooltrine 60 should be added to circulating water and evenly distributed throughout the pool. Preventative dosing helps maintain algae resistance, while corrective dosing can assist in recovery after visible algae is eliminated through brushing and shocking.

Because algaecides work best as part of a complete water care program, regular testing and proper sanitizer levels should be maintained alongside use.

Always follow manufacturer label instructions for dosage and frequency.
