Do you have a green pool? Do you notice tini-tiny brown,green or yellow particles on your water? You do? Tsk, tsk, tsk. My dear, as sad as it is, I am devastated to inform you that you have algae in your pool. Yes, algae. But wait a minute, what are algae? Are algae really that dangerous to you and your pool?

UNDERSTANDING ALGAE

Algae can either be unicellular or multi-cellular. These type of organisms are also plants. They are non-flowering plants to be exact. Algae also has the capacity to create and produce their own food so they have really got it made in your pool — got it made because they can sustain themselves. We can call it \”fine living\”. Well, it sounds like these guys can host a show in the lifestyle network huh? Kidding aside, algae are pests to our pools. Do not let these guys destroy your investment. Here are a couple more reasons why algae are a pain on a pool owner\’s neck:

The pool water, as you may already know or have seen, may turn into an unsightly green or yellow color. Of course this means that the pool is infested with algae. Your pool is now disgusting looking. Pesky algae!

Algae can harm you in so many ways that you can imagine. Eyes, nose, throat, ears, skin and your private parts can suffer from horrendous infections. And remember, algae are living organisms. If you get infected, they will live inside or on you. JESUS CHRIST. That would be like a scene from a twisted, horror movie. And if that were a movie it would sell millions. Yeah well, NO KUDOS to those up to no good algae.

Algal blooms, or in other words, alagal communities (These are the green, yellow or brown stuff that you see on your pool\’s floors, surfaces and walls. They may also float around your water.) can have toxic emissions. Such emissions are highly POISONOUS and at times of severity, FATAL when swallowed. Yes, algae are not simple creatures. They\’re like Seagal, they get you when you\’re not looking.

If you have a natural pool, algae are going to be bad news for you. They so happened to eat up and the kill fishes and plants. They also ruin rock formations. So much for your nature setting ey? It looks like the algae got the best of you.

Algae can also corrode, eat up and clog your pool accessories and equipment. Your things will immediately stop working once stuffed with algae. That\’s scary isn\’t it? So much for buying high priced pool apparatuses if they are just going to be destroyed by those galling algae. When you think about it, algae is pretty much like the plague. It eats up your pool, your equipment, your time and your money. THIS MEANS WAR ALGAE!

Declare a world war III with the algae in your pool. Get rid of them once and for good! It\’s time to show them whose boss!
