TRIED YOUR METHOD 3 YEARS AGO. THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN UNBELIEVEABLE ! HAVE NOT HAD EVEN A HINT OF ALGAE SINCE. BESIDES MY NORMAL CHLORINE EXPENSE, THIS YEAR I SPENT EXACTLY $30 ON CHEMICALS FOR STABILIZING THE WATER. WISH I KNEW THIS INFO YEARS AGO. THANKS MAN
So glad to hear that. I think this is one of the little known secrets to pool maintenance. I know a lot of really good pool service people who haven't heard of this either.
Thanks a million for this tip on the phosphate remover. This has been a game changer for me. I live in Oklahoma City in an area with lots of trees, windy weather, and super sunny weather. Since I moved to a new house with a pool, I had been constantly fighting green algae with a barrage of liquid chlorine, tablets, bags upon bags of shock--you name it. I was also scrubbing with a brush constantly and the algae came back EVERY WEEK with a vengeance. I even changed the water out, only to have the same problem. I started using this phosphate remover and have been following up with small doses every few weeks and it's been the magic bullet I've been looking for. My best guess is that we just have tons and tons of airborne organic particles landing in the pool that were feeding the algae. This was the solution--only took me about 18 months to figure it out. THANK YOU!!
I appreciate you and you taking time to teach us. I was paying someone for 4.5 years and he was taking advantage of me. Hired another guy and the same. I got mad and decided to learn from RUclips and found you 💕. I appreciate you!!!
So glad to be of help. You may want to check out my website poolschooler.com for exclusive membership content. Check it out and even if you choose not to do that I hope you'll subscribe to my channel here.
Thanks for the information....I took your advice and followed the steps.....I had yellow mustard algae and never thought I would ever get rid of it....you said it right, after I spent hundreds of dollars on chemicals including algaecides the algae would keep coming back time after time while my water turned a teal color at best and most times I could not see the floor of my pool for the green cloudy coloring. After buying the phosphate treatment online and following the directions on the bottle, my pool turned from a swampy green to a cloudy blue...after letting the sand filter run for a few days the cloudiness cleared up and I vaccumed the dead algae to waste. After 1 week I had my pool crystal clear....thanks Kenny for sharing your knowledge!
@@PoolSchooler I just put up a above intex pool and need to learn how to maintenance everything and learn what chemicals to use thank you for letting us all know not to waste money.
Best video for getting rid of algae on the web!!! As I new pool owner I was struggling with algae until I watched this video. Using phosphate remover alone, my pool has never seen algae AGAIN. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This video needs way more views!
I appreciate your kind words and your comment. Thank you for watching and I hope you subscribe to my channel and share it with others. Would love to get over 50,000 subscribers before the end of the year.
This guy gives the best advice ever. I struggled with algae for weeks until I listen to him. I used shock, algaecides, etc, but his advice worked immediately. It also cleared up the brownish rim around my stairs. Looks like Uncle Rico, but the guy is gold
Such an informative video and explained so clearly. So tired of feeling lost with our pool maintenance and feeling like we're just dumping tons of products (money) in. Will try this for any future algae problems.
I had algea after coming back from vacation. My pool guy recommended dumping 4 gallons of chlorine in pool and let it sit for a day or 2. Killed it quick. Then just had to brush the dead algea off the walls and run the pump. Worked like a charm.
Great video. I've been cleaning pools for nearly 20 years and stress dearly, that it's highly important to keep phosphates out of pool and chemicals balanced and pool will sparkle.
Wow, I just wanted to say a big thank you! Your information is absolutely amazing and so detailed! I can't thank you enough for helping me out with my black algae problem last year. I was so frustrated after being scammed by the local pool store, but your advice really saved the day. And guess what? This season, your tips worked like magic and cleared my pool in no time! I have to say, the PR10,000 is absolutely fantastic and did wonders!
So glad to hear that thank you for your kind comments and thank you for watching. Hope you will subscribe to my channel and share it with all your friends.
Thank you! This year has been a so of a B.... for me and dealing with algae. My husband passed away 6 years ago and he always maintained the pool. I had no idea what I was doing. I hired a independent pool professional and was spending a lot of money. I felt like I was being taken advantage of, so I started taking water samples to the pool company and every time I went in they we're selling me something. Again, I felt like I was being taken advantage of. I began researching on you tube how to care for my pool. I've learned SO much and have been successfully maintaining my pool for 5 years, until this spring. The algae was terrible and I have been struggling to get rid of it. This video's content will save me from further aggravation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it greatly.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad that my videos are helping you. One other video you may want to watch is "How I Cleared My Green Pool". Here's a link to that: ruclips.net/video/XY-BAdBY0zI/видео.html And maybe one. one I did on Changing Your Pool Water, why and when: ruclips.net/video/ypCS5Bch0g0/видео.html Thanks again for your comment and for watching.
One of the best video on pool care. Thank you so much. I will also like to add that taking care of Algae is 1st priority then Ph-Alkalinity balance which is 2nd priority.
Finally someone who explains how to do this! I was given an 18x48pool with salt system. I know nothing about this and have been searching for sensible instructions. I'm so glad I found this!!! My pool turned green almost overnight and I was at a loss and going to buy algacide to dump in it. Now I know why and how to treat it!

Hi there! I live in Costa Rica and we don’t have PR10,000. I got Alum Sulfate very cheap instead, and got my pool green to blue in one day. Just by following your recipe: Triclore and the sulfate. The only thing I did different is that I turned off the pump for 24hours and vacuum out to waste next day since the sulfate works killing the phosphate but also as a flokulant. Now I am refilling about 3inches of water, to put clorine and ph to level. Anyway, now is sparkling..thanks!
To add one more thing. Make sure the cyanaric acid lvlis either ideal or lower than ideal .To much can block or slow the chlorine process down to the point you'll have to use 3,4,5× times as much shock to be effective. Great video!! I did not know that phosphates are released when the algae is killed.
Oh my gosh! You are a godsend! Battling a light green algae on sides of pool and the pool stores love to have you spend tons of money and still wasnt working, so frustrated and broke! Thanks from the bottom of my heart
@PoolSchooler I've been subscribed for a while because I find that you explain things very well and you make it simple to understand. I refer to your video every time I backwash my D.E filter. I had never seen your "algae and algaecides" video before and it really simplified it for me
Like your channel, I've been doing pools for thirty years in hawaii, your advice is where you need to start from and that's 90 percent the problem..... so good job.......
I'm a new homeowner with a pool and I love these videos! There are so many helpful tips that you wouldn't normally get from a pool company. Your open honesty is always appreciated! Now time to go take care of this greenish water that just recently started happening...

Sir I really like the way you teach. I am a layman of the first order when it comes to caring and maintaining a pool and I am having zero issues understanding your lessons and especially the reasons for it. I am 60 yrs of age and this is my first pool. I tried many other videos before finding yours. My pool guy stopped coming at the beginning of March and I have already learned to deal with the algae that started a week ago, I figured out the pipes and flow and marked them, completed the backflush, and learned to fix the multiport valve gasket and stopped the water that was flowing out of my backflush drain line when i ran my system at night. So thank you for the lessons. Please keep up the good work so us layman have a chance.
Michael, you Sir are the reason I started my channel nearly three years ago. I thank you so much for watching, subscribing and for your kind comment. We aren't too far off in age (I'm 58). I can't tell you how delighted I am to hear that this channel has helped you do what I intended it for. Thanks again.
Good video Kenny ...I was paying someone 200 per month to take care of my pool...after watching RUclips videos for a month I now take care of my own pool..They were (FAKERS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER.)One thing that happens a lot in CA. is the CYA builds after years of using tricolor tabs due to their ease of use.When this happens your chlorine is not effective and algae blooms and phosphates accumulate. Hence the hamster wheel effect..What I did was drain my pool and started over with the chemical puzzle that pools create.Nice to see confirmation of my self education ..I’m a subscriber now.
I just want to say thank you so much for your help. I cleaned my filter for the first time today and picked up PR 10,000. The shop was surprised I knew about it ;) This video was recommended from a Facebook pool group. Best of luck to you!
That is so great to hear! Thank you for letting me know. I'm delighted my channel has helped you so much. I hope you''ll subscribe to and share my channel with others.
I own a pool cleaning company and agree fully with everything you said but. I know on it's only a small number that will learn this but it still affects the business.
Definitely explains a lot more details about why my pool has been giving me so much trouble lately, and I haven't been able to get it clean all summer. Our neighbor has a huge cypress tree, that is constantly ruining everything, but he will not even entertain cutting it down. On top of that, it rained a ton this season. The local guy kept telling me to use alkalinity up, then shock. That worked, but only for a short time. But now I know, and I thank you a lot.
@@PoolSchooler I subscribed as soon as I heard you explain why algaecides don't work and how to not only get rid of algae, but also keep it out. So like 2 minutes into the video.
Thank you so much for this video. Especially for skipping the BS. I shocked the pool the first day and added PR-10000-QT Phosphate Remover the second day. The water turned crystal clear in less than a day. Glad I didn't waste money on algaecides. Thanks again.
Ive had my pool for 10 years. I use cotton balls in my filter that I wash at the end of the season. I spen $12/yr on keeping my crystal clear the entire season. If I am away for 3 weeks and dont touch the pool, I come home to a crystal clear pool. I the beginning when I open pool, I put in 1/4 cup of Copper Sulfate and turn on filter and run for 4 hrs a day. I add nothing else. The water is perfectly clear. About 1/2 way thru the season, I add1/4 cup sulfate and thats all I ever add to my pool. No Chemicals, no chlorine. My neighbor has the identical pool as me. When they go on vacation, they need to have someone come and do tests and chemicals or he comes home to a green pool. My Friend and I have a home in Vegas that has an in ground. We put in the copper sufate in the skimmer filter and whenever we go out there, usually1 time every 6 weeks, the pool is always clear. Just keep solar cover on to keep debris from bottom.
Many thanks for this very informative video! I didn't know any of this so I've been fighting an ongoing battle with algae. It makes perfect sense that if you cut off the food supply, an organism will die but not being aware that the dying organism is producing more food source is what's causing the constant cycle. With the price of pool chemicals these days, I can't afford not to know this!
I have learned so much about my Arizona pool just in the last couple days of watching your videos! You need to be a Teacher...or you have the Great qualities of a Good teacher!!. Concise descriptions and thorough explanations! thanks! !
Thanks for the complement Mike. I appreciate that. I actually am a teacher of sorts. I teach martial arts Jeet Kune Do/Filipino Martial Arts and dance (tap and jazz).
THANKS SO MUCH KENNY !!! THIS WAS VERY INFORMATIVE ,FOR A GUY THAT HAS NEVER OWNED A POOL !! YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT ,AND HOPE THIS WILL SOLVE MY ALGEA PROBLEM !! THANKS AGAIN JESSE VIA LAS VEGAS
You’re welcome. I’m gonna be releasing a video on “How to never have a green pool again”. So make sure you watch for it. Or better yet you can turn on your channel notifications my channel so that you know when any of my new videos drop.
@@PoolSchooler Good ,I will be looking out for your New Video !! And Yes ,I did subscribe to your channel & I did hit the Bell for your Alerts !! Thanks Again JESSE VIA LAS VEGAS
I got a herniated disc from cleaning my pool out so much this summer and I live in Tucson,AZ as well and this is our first pool so we are new to the world of pool care! 😂 So thank you kindly!🫶
Cyanuric acid level is the x-factor on how to treat algae in the swim season. PR1000 works great in certain situations, and sodium bromide in others. I too am not for killing algae with trace metals. Good info here though! Especially mentioning trichlor shock as most will just use cal hypo all the time.
Very informative and very well done. I have am on my first pool and for three years, I have not had a problem. Now I do. Thanks to you I am correct in cleaning it up. THANKS!
by far most education thus far from any video on topic. I am laughing as I had a large fight with algae last year and the store took me for a ride "buy this that this that, etc.). $300-400 later, water test again. "Phosphates are up." How?! (me)... Store (many reasons but more algaceide).. $500 later... I begin to think analytically.... Why spend $500 I could empty and refill for 750 35000 gallons. thanks for this lesson.
Thank you for this! I have been educated. You may not be popular with pool service providers as your channel may eventually put them out of business, but I thoroughly appreciate the time and information you have put into your videos-especially this one.
Lmao this method may work for a tiny above ground trash residential pool, but this guy is speaking in half truths. Can't even pronounce algae and you trust him? Lmao
I love your videos, so practical and down to earth. As a retired biologist, I would like to make one correction. Algae as a plant needs several elements to grow, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc. But phosphorus is what we call the limiting factor for plant growth. All other things can be there but without enough phosphorous growth is inhibited. A minor distinction maybe from your point of view. Anyway, thanks for the info, I'm buy some PR-10000 today. Thanks again for your videos.
Best video R/T understanding of how the chemicals work and what to use. Thank you so much for the information,I can’t tell you how much it help’s me to know what I need to do to clear my pool. I at least know what I am going buy to deal with the problems I am having with the water.
Glad it was helpful, thank you for your comment. Hope you will subscribe and do check out my new membership website www.poolschooler.com for more great ways to save a ton of money maintaining your pool yourself.
Added PR 10,000 last night, resulting in a enormous amout of filtered substance in my pool filter. I'm guessing I had a lot of phosphate in my pool. Hoping this will finally address the relentless yellow algae that laughed at repeated shock treatments!
You are correct about what ended up in your filter, make sure you clean the filter ASAP. If it's a sand filter or DE filter you can just backwash it (making sure to recharge it if it's DE). If it's cartridge I'd get them cleaned out now. Hope you'll subscribe and for more $$ saving stuff check out my website poolschooler.com
My pool was dark green for a week, I was being instructed by one of the pool stores to add a bag of shock every day & 2 days later a lot of algaecide.. With NO improvement in 7 days. I was feeling pretty desperate. I decided to watch a bunch of RUclips.. I came across your video after you explained the algae and Phosphate relationship ..I ran to the garage and put a heavy dose of phosphate remover in the pool.. ( small pool 8 x 16 x 4 salt, fiberglass). Within 2 hours I swear I saw the green get lighter, by the next day a game changer.. Within 24 hours my pool was sparkling.. THANK YOU!! Apparently the store doesn't check phosphates. Will upon request! You would think after I was there 3 x in 6 days they would of. They also said not to put the Hayward cartridge in while I using the chemicals they suggested.. Wrong I put it in & it removed the algae. Cleaned filter 2 x a day.. I am impressed and so grateful I found your video.. I will be doing more research and buying chemicals in bulk. My goal is to stop spending $40 every other week on shock etc. adding 1 oz Phosphate Remover weekly.
So glad it was helpful. You can so easily take care of your pool for less than that in chemicals. Most of my client's pools chemicals during the peak season only run them around $20-$25 and that's with my markup so you should easily be able to be below that. Check out my video on the only chemicals you really need for your pool (except salt). Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/wP_2y2HVxvg/видео.html
Wonderful to hear. Congratulations. Hope you'll subscribe to my channel and share it with others. ALSO for more great DIY Pool Stuff check out my website poolschooler.com
I own and operate a pool service business, 18 years in operation, this is spot on. I hate these pool stores that send customers home with bottles of algaecide that never work. I haven't ever used any algaecide in my pools. does more harm than good.
You are the best! We are in Arizona and our neighbors have a Mesquite tree that is constantly dropping something in the water. This year for the first time it's been a real struggle to keep the algae out and our pool company is not the best in the valley... So, we have to do it ourselves.. Thank you for your awesome video - you are the man.
Very interesting. I've been struggling with damn algae for weeks here in TN. It's constantly 90f here and pool water is in the 80's F. I kept shocking, algae keeps coming back. Now I know why. I figured out everything else, but this one thing was missing. THANKS BROTHER!
Thank you for posting all your informative videos. I am considering servicing my own pool and your videos are easy to follow and do not put me to sleep or make me feel too overwhelmed! You are an excellent teacher. My pool is green currently so I am off to the pool supply store with a sample of the water. Wish me luck!
I just got a small above ground and I'm having to learn. I cleaned pools for a campground when I was a teenager so I forgot everything lol. I was just wondering why you can't just put a algae eating fish in the pool ? Ha ha ha ha just joking. This is the best channel by far for info direct and to the point. New sub here.
I love you man! 😁 I consider you my pool guru. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏🏻 and this episode is particularly helpful/timely this time of year in Phoenix, with the current heat wave and monsoons about to begin.
Absolutely, thank you for your kind comments and thank you for watching. Yes our monsoons and haboobs are brutal. But to be honest when I used to work for other Pool Service companies. It took the owner sometimes a long time to get any work done on repairs for a pool so in the meantime, if we had a big monsoon storm, the pool was trashed. I have all of my clients pools set up so well that even when we have a big dust storm, they do quite well.
Very informative video... I’ve had my pool for 20 years and this year I have green swampy water that won’t clear up....I’m glad I came across your video....I’m going to do exactly what you stated......Thanks for the great information....I’ll post an update....Thanks again!!!
This is such a good video. Thanks for sharing this information and serving the facts straight up. Love your knowledge and your delivery. Going to get the TriClor + PR 10,000 and get this turned around.
Costa Rica: I painted my pool last year and I see black algae speckled on the floor after the "windy season". I am afraid that TriClor would harm the paint. I like your solution using Phosphate it makes sense to starve the algae. I hope I can find PR-1000 here, thank you!
Might work in AZ but in NY I filled my pool with all new water and tested it and the phosphates were through the roof. The tap water and rain water just a ton. Can’t eliminate phosphates. Gotta keep the pool balanced and when you get a lot of rain, humidity or heat wave you need some algecide period.
This was very helpful. The house we moved into has many many trees around in the yard. I get way more pollen off of them. And there is a stupid planting area in the screened in lanai. I think I am getting a lot of that in the pool and it is causing the algae. Thanks so much for all the useful information.
Thanks again for this one. I did your black algae last year, and this year I was puzzled as my chemical levels were normal, but I cannot keep the algae out. within a week of cleaning my pool (i.e. brushing the green algae of the walls) it would be right back the next week. I never had that problem last year and I was befuddled as to what in the heck is going on this year. I thought it was from high ph levels but I got that back in check and still keep getting the algae along the sides of pool. Now I know. I'm sure that my phosphates are through the roof as we have had many wind storms that have blown so much dirt and vegetation from the adjacent golf course that I had to clean my filters once before I could finish cleaning the rest of the pool due to so much vegetation. I have some of the PR-10000 I bought last year but never had to use it and some left over trichlor from last years black algae treatment. it looks like I will need to use it now. Thanks again. So far all of your videos have been very helpful and have helped as explained. Thanks again.
Glad to hear that. Thanks for watching and commenting. Also check out this video I did on how to never have a 'green pool' again; ruclips.net/video/y4hac4beQsc/видео.htmlfeature=shared
I have been struggling with algea for years.....I feel like my pool has not been crystal clear in 5 yrs....2 of those yrs with paying a pool service...i just spent 60$ on the whole algicide shock method...had monsoon rain in south fl and its green.....tomorrow I'm trying your method and will let you know your reviews are awesome 🤞🏾
thank you a lot.The expression was good_ precise, to the point, apt words,clear accent and above all rich contents, which helps the needy..This i recommend as model for others to emulate.
Hi Kenny, Thank you for the video....great information and thorough explanations. Have watched several pool school videos and really appreciate the fact of ending every video I have watched with your tag line of ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS HAVE A DESIGNATED WATCHER WITH CHILDREN AROUND A POOL. We live in Florida and it pains me every year when an incident with a child and pool hits the news. Every pool owner should be required to take a pool safety course. Thanks again and keep up the great work!!!
Thank u so much!!! This was such great information! I've had a poor for 2 years and all the chemicals have been so confusing, especially the algaecides!! Thanks again!!!
Pool RX, Phosphate remover chlorine use will crash! Much easier on the skin. Pool people don't want you to know about Pool RX because it puts them out of business!!! Pool RX lasts about 6-months when you can then add a recharge kit. After one year replace the whole unit. Killed all algea even the black hard to kill crap! So Cal with dust, horses nearby so pool maintenance was a night mare until I started the above parsmaters. Simple pool test strip kit, $14 phosphorus test kit, and I use chlorine tabs with cyaranic acid (stabilizes chlorine). Good quality auto pool cleaner and you will spend allot less time messing with your pool and enjoying it more!!!
Best thing you said.... "Always have a designated "watcher" watch your kids while they are swimming or around water". Our city has lost three young children to drowning in the last few months alone. Pools are serious hazards and need to be respected. And, Alcohol and water never mix.
Nice! Earned a sub with that one. This was the one missing link in my pool routine. I never use algaecide but I wasnt aware of the phosphate issue. Big help. Thanks..
THIS was excellent info. I got an Intex 32 foot pool with sand filter and salt water pump for therapeutic swimming. I have worked very hard to rid my body of mercury and other toxins and battled lyme disease for 10 yrs, now in remission thank God! I knew there had to be a better way to get rid of the funk in my pool. SO, I have some mustard algae and a salt water system, do I do the exact things you said to or are there other adjustments? I love my salt water, it helps my health so much and I do not want to mess that up! Thanks for your research and knowledge of healthy things!
Suzanne Taylor nope. You’d do the same thing. You may want to watch my video on how I cleared my green pool. I think it will really help you out a lot. Here’s a link: ruclips.net/video/XY-BAdBY0zI/видео.html
@@PoolSchooler Awesome! Oh, can I buy the PR 10K at any pool store or do i have to order it? I'm anxious to get started and also should I keep the pool solar cover off at night after I treat the water or keep it on? I'm a new pool owner and trying to learn all i can. Thanks!
Suzanne Taylor some stores do carry it. But if not you can order it online. I’d suggest keeping the cover off so the pool water stays cooler. Algae likes a warm environment to grow in.
Awesome video, sir. One point to challenge is your usage of 'heavy metals'. While copper and silver both fall into the heavy metal category simply due to their density, silver is not toxic to humans, and copper, only in large amounts. Going to be hard to get that amount of either in your pool. Just wanted to share. Very helpful video - am in North Phoenix and going through this exact same brutal cycle - never thought of phosphates before.
Hi Diesel I appreciate your comment and agree with you. In fact our family has been using colloidal silver for decades for everything from, cold, sore throats and especially pink eye (works wonders). Thank you for clarifying.
Sadly I've tried this method and because of my dinosaur of a pool this hasn't worked. The only thing that has worked for me is Stop Yellow and I am good for a couple weeks to a month. I've been to 2 pool stores with water samples and phosphates were low. But we've also had multiple pool companies come out and say no to cleaning because it's a dinosaur or charge way more. But I'm going to try that PR10,000!
TRIED YOUR METHOD 3 YEARS AGO. THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN UNBELIEVEABLE ! HAVE NOT HAD EVEN A HINT OF ALGAE SINCE. BESIDES MY NORMAL CHLORINE EXPENSE, THIS YEAR I SPENT EXACTLY $30 ON CHEMICALS FOR STABILIZING THE WATER. WISH I KNEW THIS INFO YEARS AGO. THANKS MAN

Such an informative video and explained so clearly. So tired of feeling lost with our pool maintenance and feeling like we're just dumping tons of products (money) in. Will try this for any future algae problems.
I had algea after coming back from vacation. My pool guy recommended dumping 4 gallons of chlorine in pool and let it sit for a day or 2. Killed it quick. Then just had to brush the dead algea off the walls and run the pump. Worked like a charm.

I was so frustrated after being scammed by the local pool store, but your advice really saved the day. And guess what? This season, your tips worked like magic and cleared my pool in no time! I have to say, the PR10,000 is absolutely fantastic and did wonders!
So glad to hear that thank you for your kind comments and thank you for watching. Hope you will subscribe to my channel and share it with all your friends.
Great information and explained in an easy to understand way. Thanks for sharing.
@@stevebugg9568 thank you for watching and for commenting. I hope you will subscribe to my channel and share it with others.
been using this method for a while but u describe it well so people can understand.
Thank you! This year has been a so of a B.... for me and dealing with algae.
My husband passed away 6 years ago and he always maintained the pool. I had no idea what I was doing. I hired a independent pool professional and was spending a lot of money. I felt like I was being taken advantage of, so I started taking water samples to the pool company and every time I went in they we're selling me something. Again, I felt like I was being taken advantage of.
I began researching on you tube how to care for my pool. I've learned SO much and have been successfully maintaining my pool for 5 years, until this spring. The algae was terrible and I have been struggling to get rid of it.
This video's content will save me from further aggravation.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it greatly.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad that my videos are helping you. One other video you may want to watch is "How I Cleared My Green Pool". Here's a link to that: ruclips.net/video/XY-BAdBY0zI/видео.html

Thanks again for your comment and for watching.
Im a new pool owner and have been battling Algae since March. Not one person at the pool stores have mentioned phosphates. Thank you very much.
Happy to help. Check out my membership website www.poolschooler.com.
One of the best video on pool care. Thank you so much. I will also like to add that taking care of Algae is 1st priority then Ph-Alkalinity balance which is 2nd priority.
Finally someone who explains how to do this! I was given an 18x48pool with salt system. I know nothing about this and have been searching for sensible instructions. I'm so glad I found this!!! My pool turned green almost overnight and I was at a loss and going to buy algacide to dump in it. Now I know why and how to treat it!

Hi there! I live in Costa Rica and we don’t have PR10,000. I got Alum Sulfate very cheap instead, and got my pool green to blue in one day. Just by following your recipe: Triclore and the sulfate. The only thing I did different is that I turned off the pump for 24hours and vacuum out to waste next day since the sulfate works killing the phosphate but also as a flokulant. Now I am refilling about 3inches of water, to put clorine and ph to level. Anyway, now is sparkling..thanks!
To add one more thing. Make sure the cyanaric acid lvlis either ideal or lower than ideal .To much can block or slow the chlorine process down to the point you'll have to use 3,4,5× times as much shock to be effective.
Great video!! I did not know that phosphates are released when the algae is killed.
Brian Stark great point on the cya ad well. 👍
Oh my gosh! You are a godsend! Battling a light green algae on sides of pool and the pool stores love to have you spend tons of money and still wasnt working, so frustrated and broke! Thanks from the bottom of my heart
So glad to hear that. Thanks for commenting.. Hope you'll subscribe to my channel and share it with others.
@PoolSchooler I've been subscribed for a while because I find that you explain things very well and you make it simple to understand. I refer to your video every time I backwash my D.E filter. I had never seen your "algae and algaecides" video before and it really simplified it for me
Like your channel, I've been doing pools for thirty years in hawaii, your advice is where you need to start from and that's 90 percent the problem..... so good job.......
I'm a new homeowner with a pool and I love these videos! There are so many helpful tips that you wouldn't normally get from a pool company. Your open honesty is always appreciated! Now time to go take care of this greenish water that just recently started happening...

Sir I really like the way you teach. I am a layman of the first order when it comes to caring and maintaining a pool and I am having zero issues understanding your lessons and especially the reasons for it. I am 60 yrs of age and this is my first pool. I tried many other videos before finding yours. My pool guy stopped coming at the beginning of March and I have already learned to deal with the algae that started a week ago, I figured out the pipes and flow and marked them, completed the backflush, and learned to fix the multiport valve gasket and stopped the water that was flowing out of my backflush drain line when i ran my system at night. So thank you for the lessons. Please keep up the good work so us layman have a chance.
Michael, you Sir are the reason I started my channel nearly three years ago. I thank you so much for watching, subscribing and for your kind comment. We aren't too far off in age (I'm 58). I can't tell you how delighted I am to hear that this channel has helped you do what I intended it for. Thanks again.
Good video Kenny ...I was paying someone 200 per month to take care of my pool...after watching RUclips videos for a month I now take care of my own pool..They were (FAKERS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER.)One thing that happens a lot in CA. is the CYA builds after years of using tricolor tabs due to their ease of use.When this happens your chlorine is not effective and algae blooms and phosphates accumulate.
Hence the hamster wheel effect..What I did was drain my pool and started over with the chemical puzzle that pools create.Nice to see confirmation of my self education ..I’m a subscriber now.
This is the best video on phosphate removal on RUclips and I’ve seen a lot of them and this one actually turned my pool water blue again thank you.
Wow that's wonderful to hear. Thank you so much for commenting. Hope you’ll subscribe to and share my channel.

@@kingofqueens777 I appreciate that and thank you.
I just want to say thank you so much for your help. I cleaned my filter for the first time today and picked up PR 10,000. The shop was surprised I knew about it ;) This video was recommended from a Facebook pool group. Best of luck to you!
I'm so glad this video was helpful. Hope you'll subscribe to my channel.

I own a pool cleaning company and agree fully with everything you said but. I know on it's only a small number that will learn this but it still affects the business.
Yes, but less chemicals, the better for the earth. You will just sell more Tri-Chlor & PR-10000. Good for business.
You are 100% correct about this. It took me 20 years to figure this out. Wish I had had RUclips! Great info!
So glad it was helpful. Thank you for your kind comment.
Definitely explains a lot more details about why my pool has been giving me so much trouble lately, and I haven't been able to get it clean all summer. Our neighbor has a huge cypress tree, that is constantly ruining everything, but he will not even entertain cutting it down. On top of that, it rained a ton this season. The local guy kept telling me to use alkalinity up, then shock. That worked, but only for a short time. But now I know, and I thank you a lot.
Glad it was helpful. I hope you will subscribe to my channel and share it with others.
@@PoolSchooler I subscribed as soon as I heard you explain why algaecides don't work and how to not only get rid of algae, but also keep it out. So like 2 minutes into the video.
Just found this guy and what knowledge! and he is in my state and understands our problems with the desert region! great info
Thank you for the complement.
Thank you so much for this video. Especially for skipping the BS. I shocked the pool the first day and added PR-10000-QT Phosphate Remover the second day. The water turned crystal clear in less than a day. Glad I didn't waste money on algaecides. Thanks again.
That's fantastic! Way to go!!! For more money saving tools, tips, links and access to me please check out my website poolschooler.com
Ive had my pool for 10 years. I use cotton balls in my filter that I wash at the end of the season. I spen $12/yr on keeping my crystal clear the entire season. If I am away for 3 weeks and dont touch the pool, I come home to a crystal clear pool.
I the beginning when I open pool, I put in 1/4 cup of Copper Sulfate and turn on filter and run for 4 hrs a day. I add nothing else. The water is perfectly clear.
About 1/2 way thru the season, I add1/4 cup sulfate and thats all I ever add to my pool. No Chemicals, no chlorine.
My neighbor has the identical pool as me. When they go on vacation, they need to have someone come and do tests and chemicals or he comes home to a green pool.
My Friend and I have a home in Vegas that has an in ground. We put in the copper sufate in the skimmer filter and whenever we go out there, usually1 time every 6 weeks, the pool is always clear. Just keep solar cover on to keep debris from bottom.
Many thanks for this very informative video! I didn't know any of this so I've been fighting an ongoing battle with algae. It makes perfect sense that if you cut off the food supply, an organism will die but not being aware that the dying organism is producing more food source is what's causing the constant cycle. With the price of pool chemicals these days, I can't afford not to know this!

I got a herniated disc from cleaning my pool out so much this summer and I live in Tucson,AZ as well and this is our first pool so we are new to the world of pool care! 😂 So thank you kindly!🫶
Cyanuric acid level is the x-factor on how to treat algae in the swim season. PR1000 works great in certain situations, and sodium bromide in others. I too am not for killing algae with trace metals. Good info here though! Especially mentioning trichlor shock as most will just use cal hypo all the time.
Very informative and very well done. I have am on my first pool and for three years, I have not had a problem. Now I do. Thanks to you I am correct in cleaning it up. THANKS!
Pete Heiser great to hear. I’ve had several above ground pools in fact in some of my videos I use that one as an example to demonstrate on.
by far most education thus far from any video on topic. I am laughing as I had a large fight with algae last year and the store took me for a ride "buy this that this that, etc.). $300-400 later, water test again. "Phosphates are up." How?! (me)... Store (many reasons but more algaceide).. $500 later... I begin to think analytically.... Why spend $500 I could empty and refill for 750 35000 gallons. thanks for this lesson.

Thank you for this! I have been educated. You may not be popular with pool service providers as your channel may eventually put them out of business, but I thoroughly appreciate the time and information you have put into your videos-especially this one.
Yep. Ruined the whole pool care industry. Ten more people doing this to Amazon. They will be ruined by next week.
Lmao this method may work for a tiny above ground trash residential pool, but this guy is speaking in half truths. Can't even pronounce algae and you trust him? Lmao
I love your videos, so practical and down to earth. As a retired biologist, I would like to make one correction.
Algae as a plant needs several elements to grow, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc. But phosphorus is what we call the limiting factor for plant growth. All other things can be there but without enough phosphorous growth is inhibited. A minor distinction maybe from your point of view. Anyway, thanks for the info, I'm buy some PR-10000 today. Thanks again for your videos.
That is so great to know. I appreciate the education. It really helps me to understand what is actually happening.
Best video R/T understanding of how the chemicals work and what to use.
Thank you so much for the information,I can’t tell you how much it help’s me to know what I need to do to clear my pool. I at least know what I am going buy to deal with the problems I am having with the water.

Added PR 10,000 last night, resulting in a enormous amout of filtered substance in my pool filter. I'm guessing I had a lot of phosphate in my pool. Hoping this will finally address the relentless yellow algae that laughed at repeated shock treatments!
You are correct about what ended up in your filter, make sure you clean the filter ASAP. If it's a sand filter or DE filter you can just backwash it (making sure to recharge it if it's DE). If it's cartridge I'd get them cleaned out now.

My pool was dark green for a week, I was being instructed by one of the pool stores to add a bag of shock every day & 2 days later a lot of algaecide.. With NO improvement in 7 days. I was feeling pretty desperate. I decided to watch a bunch of RUclips.. I came across your video after you explained the algae and Phosphate relationship ..I ran to the garage and put a heavy dose of phosphate remover in the pool.. ( small pool 8 x 16 x 4 salt, fiberglass). Within 2 hours I swear I saw the green get lighter, by the next day a game changer.. Within 24 hours my pool was sparkling.. THANK YOU!! Apparently the store doesn't check phosphates. Will upon request! You would think after I was there 3 x in 6 days they would of. They also said not to put the Hayward cartridge in while I using the chemicals they suggested.. Wrong I put it in & it removed the algae. Cleaned filter 2 x a day..
I am impressed and so grateful I found your video.. I will be doing more research and buying chemicals in bulk. My goal is to stop spending $40 every other week on shock etc. adding 1 oz Phosphate Remover weekly.
So glad it was helpful. You can so easily take care of your pool for less than that in chemicals. Most of my client's pools chemicals during the peak season only run them around $20-$25 and that's with my markup so you should easily be able to be below that. Check out my video on the only chemicals you really need for your pool (except salt). Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/wP_2y2HVxvg/видео.html

Absolutely, thank you for your kind comments and thank you for watching. Yes our monsoons and haboobs are brutal. But to be honest when I used to work for other Pool Service companies. It took the owner sometimes a long time to get any work done on repairs for a pool so in the meantime, if we had a big monsoon storm, the pool was trashed. I have all of my clients pools set up so well that even when we have a big dust storm, they do quite well.
Thank you Pool Jesus 🙏

La Jo Ba thanks for watching and sharing.
Costa Rica: I painted my pool last year and I see black algae speckled on the floor after the "windy season". I am afraid that TriClor would harm the paint. I like your solution using Phosphate it makes sense to starve the algae. I hope I can find PR-1000 here, thank you!
Maybe get it online?
Might work in AZ but in NY I filled my pool with all new water and tested it and the phosphates were through the roof. The tap water and rain water just a ton. Can’t eliminate phosphates. Gotta keep the pool balanced and when you get a lot of rain, humidity or heat wave you need some algecide period.
Thanks for the comment. That's good to know.
This was very helpful. The house we moved into has many many trees around in the yard. I get way more pollen off of them. And there is a stupid planting area in the screened in lanai. I think I am getting a lot of that in the pool and it is causing the algae. Thanks so much for all the useful information.

MrNandiuxx I hope it helps. Remember consistency is key. Once a week to stay on top of things. It’s much harder playing catch up.
Thanks again for this one. I did your black algae last year, and this year I was puzzled as my chemical levels were normal, but I cannot keep the algae out. within a week of cleaning my pool (i.e. brushing the green algae of the walls) it would be right back the next week. I never had that problem last year and I was befuddled as to what in the heck is going on this year. I thought it was from high ph levels but I got that back in check and still keep getting the algae along the sides of pool. Now I know. I'm sure that my phosphates are through the roof as we have had many wind storms that have blown so much dirt and vegetation from the adjacent golf course that I had to clean my filters once before I could finish cleaning the rest of the pool due to so much vegetation. I have some of the PR-10000 I bought last year but never had to use it and some left over trichlor from last years black algae treatment. it looks like I will need to use it now. Thanks again. So far all of your videos have been very helpful and have helped as explained. Thanks again.

We live in Florida and it pains me every year when an incident with a child and pool hits the news.

Check this video out on my story on this: ruclips.net/video/UcVOPD-WUwY/видео.html
Thank u so much!!! This was such great information! I've had a poor for 2 years and all the chemicals have been so confusing, especially the algaecides!! Thanks again!!!
Pool RX, Phosphate remover chlorine use will crash! Much easier on the skin. Pool people don't want you to know about Pool RX because it puts them out of business!!! Pool RX lasts about 6-months when you can then add a recharge kit. After one year replace the whole unit. Killed all algea even the black hard to kill crap! So Cal with dust, horses nearby so pool maintenance was a night mare until I started the above parsmaters. Simple pool test strip kit, $14 phosphorus test kit, and I use chlorine tabs with cyaranic acid (stabilizes chlorine). Good quality auto pool cleaner and you will spend allot less time messing with your pool and enjoying it more!!!

Suzanne Taylor some stores do carry it. But if not you can order it online. I’d suggest keeping the cover off so the pool water stays cooler. Algae likes a warm environment to grow in.

Thanks so much I have been battling yellow algae for 2 years I’m going to give this a try
Remember to keep your filter clean and running long enough AND that your other chemicals are in the ideal ranges.
Awesome video, sir. One point to challenge is your usage of 'heavy metals'. While copper and silver both fall into the heavy metal category simply due to their density, silver is not toxic to humans, and copper, only in large amounts. Going to be hard to get that amount of either in your pool. Just wanted to share. Very helpful video - am in North Phoenix and going through this exact same brutal cycle - never thought of phosphates before.
Hi Diesel I appreciate your comment and agree with you. In fact our family has been using colloidal silver for decades for everything from, cold, sore throats and especially pink eye (works wonders). Thank you for clarifying.
great advice - best i've found on the net

Sadly I've tried this method and because of my dinosaur of a pool this hasn't worked. The only thing that has worked for me is Stop Yellow and I am good for a couple weeks to a month.
I've been to 2 pool stores with water samples and phosphates were low. But we've also had multiple pool companies come out and say no to cleaning because it's a dinosaur or charge way more. But I'm going to try that PR10,000!
