Know before you buy
No, the Aqua-Trol Premium Grade Winter Algaecide is not compatible with saltwater pool systems. It is specifically formulated for traditional chlorine-based pools.
For the initial winter treatment, one gallon of Aqua-Trol treats up to 25,000 gallons of water. If you require a maintenance dose later in the season, use one quart per 25,000 gallons.
Yes, this formula is not pH neutral. You should test and balance your pool's water chemistry after application to ensure your pH levels remain within the recommended range.
The main advantage is that it prevents algae growth throughout the off-season, which significantly reduces the amount of cleaning and chemical balancing required when you open your pool in the spring.
This product is specifically designed to target and prevent algae growth. It is not intended to remove physical debris like leaves or dirt, which should be cleared out before winterizing your pool.
