Have you ever seen this in your pool?
There are three types of algae common in pools: Green Algae, Mustard Algae, and Black Algae.
-Green algae is the most common and also the easiest to kill.
-Mustard algae (also known as yellow algae) is commonly mistaken for dirt at the bottom of the pool. This type of algae normally grows on shady areas of the pool.
-Black algae is the least common, and also the hardest to remove. It's normally found as coin-sized spots, whose roots are buried deep into the surface of the pool.
There is debate whether or not algae can make you sick, but there is so much more to worry about. If there is not enough chlorine to kill the algae, there is definitely not enough chlorine to kill bacteria, viruses, parasites and other pathogens, which could possibly also be in the water.
Proper maintenance along with well balanced chemistry of your pool is absolutely necessary to ensure you and your family are safe while swimming.
