Black algae can be really tough. It is a form of algae that grows legs that dig into the plaster of the pool then has a hard protective head that you have to break and get chlorine into to really kill. We have learned that the very best way to get rid of it is to dump the pool and chlorine wash the surface with liquid chlorine. Using a ventilator suitable for chlorine and proper safety gear. Usually the black algae can be scrubbed off with the chlorine and a brush fairly easily but every once in a while we run in to very tough one that takes hard scrubbing to get rid of.
Once this is done the pool can be refilled and I personally think that the pool is always at a little more risk for that algae coming back. It's not hopeless though we have had great success keeping it gone once we chlorine wash and then continue to maintain the pool properly every week.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about on how to fix black algae in our swimming pool. I will try to do some of your tips. Keep on sharing! Anyway, if you w ant to learn more about pool equipment check us here.
