Poolife® Algaecide 90 – Long-Lasting Pool Maintenance Algaecide
90 Days of Algae Protection in a Single Treatment
Keeping your pool crystal clear doesn’t have to mean constantly battling algae. With Poolife® Algaecide 90, you get long-lasting, professional-strength protection against green, mustard, and black algae with just one treatment every three months. This advanced formula gives you up to 90 days of worry-free maintenance, saving you time, effort, and money in your pool care routine.
Designed for residential and commercial pools alike, Algaecide 90 is non-foaming, non-staining, and safe for all surfaces and sanitizing systems—including chlorine, saltwater, and bromine. It’s ideal for pool owners who want less hassle and more time enjoying their water.
Why Poolife® Algaecide 90 Stands Out
Traditional algaecides typically require weekly application and constant monitoring. Poolife® Algaecide 90 is a high-concentration, polymer-based algaecide that keeps algae away for up to three months with a single dose. Unlike copper-based formulas, it’s non-metallic, meaning it won't stain your pool finish or cause discoloration of water and surfaces.
If you're tired of frequent reapplication or struggling with recurring blooms, Algaecide 90 offers peace of mind with lasting performance and virtually no side effects.
Key Benefits of Poolife® Algaecide 90
✅ 90-Day Algae Protection
One treatment every 3 months keeps your pool protected against algae growth—even during hot summer months or rainy conditions when blooms are most common.
✅ Broad-Spectrum Algae Control
Effectively controls green algae, yellow/mustard algae, and black algae—making it a true all-in-one solution for any type of infestation or seasonal prevention.
✅ Non-Staining & Non-Metallic
Formulated without copper or other metals, this algaecide won’t stain vinyl, fiberglass, plaster, or painted pool finishes. It’s the ideal choice for pools where staining is a concern.
✅ Safe for All Sanitizer Systems
Whether you use traditional chlorine, a salt system, or bromine-based products, Algaecide 90 integrates seamlessly and won’t disrupt your existing water chemistry.
✅ No Foam or Cloudiness
Unlike some algaecides that create foaming or cloudiness when added, Poolife® Algaecide 90 dissolves cleanly and circulates efficiently—keeping your water clean and clear.
✅ Compatible with Weekly Maintenance Routines
Use alongside shocks, balancers, and clarifiers without fear of chemical interaction. Works great in both residential and commercial pool environments.

FAQs
How long after using Algaecide 90 can I swim?
You can typically swim after 15–30 minutes, once the product is fully dispersed and the pool pump has run a complete cycle.
Will this affect chlorine levels?
No. Algaecide 90 works alongside your sanitizer. It does not raise or lower chlorine but does help reduce chlorine demand by controlling organic contamination.
Is it safe for saltwater pools?
Yes! This product is 100% compatible with salt chlorine generators and won’t interfere with salt system output.
What if algae returns before 90 days?
For pools with higher loads or unusual conditions, you can safely reapply at 50% dosage after 45 days for extended protection.
Does this replace regular shocking?
No. You should still shock weekly or as needed. Algaecide 90 is a preventative, not a sanitizer.
