Our Top Performer Against Black Algae – Nothing Works Better
In our years of professional pool service, nothing has proven more effective against stubborn black algae than Algaedyn. This is our go-to solution when traditional algaecides fall short. When your pool is plagued by those dark, deeply rooted algae spots that resist brushing and shock treatments, Algaedyn breaks through where others fail. If you've battled black algae before, you know how aggressive it can be—Algaedyn is how we win that battle.
Aggressive Algae Requires a Powerful Formula
Black algae isn’t like other pool algae. Its outer layer protects it, and its deep roots help it anchor into plaster. It can also hide in tile grout, making it hard to get rid of. Algaedyn’s high-strength, copper-free formula penetrates biofilms and kills black algae at the root, not just the surface. That’s why it’s the trusted choice of pool professionals.
Safe, Non-Staining & Compatible with All Pool Types
Despite its strength, Algaedyn is gentle on your pool surfaces. It’s non-staining, does not cloud the water, and is safe for all pool finishes including plaster, fiberglass, vinyl, and tile. It works well with chlorine, bromine, and saltwater systems. This makes it the most versatile black algae treatment available.
Professional-Grade, Yet Easy to Use
Just one quart of Algaedyn treats up to 20,000 gallons of pool water. For the best results, brush the affected areas well to break the algae. Then, apply Algaedyn directly to the infested zones with the pump turned off. Leave it to circulate after 24 hours, then follow with shock treatment if necessary. Most customers see dramatic improvement after just one application.
When to Use Algaedyn
Visible black algae spots that resist standard algaecides or chlorine
After brushings when algae keeps returning

As a pre-treatment before drain-and-acid-wash jobs
