Price Was Right and Algaecide 40 Worked Well

This MM Algaecide 40 worked great in our pool. We were fighting algae growth toward the end of Summer, and decided to try this product. The blue color of the liquid changed the color of the pool water so we could visually see the algaecide working. The algaecide did result in a decent amount of bubbles/suds produced by the pool jets. Over the next couple weeks the suds retreated and the pool stays free of algae. The slight blue color change to the pool water continues to lessen.

Well Worth the Money

We've been using this Algaecide for the last 3 years with excellent results. 1 gallon treats our 20'x40'' pool on a heavily wooded lot, where we battle with leaves daily. The case contains 2 gallons which is all we need each season, for opening and through the entire summer.

Substitute for wet and forget

Great product at a great price! Members Mark Algaecide 40 has the same chemicals in it as Wet and Forget but at a 40% concentration instead of Wet and Forget’s 10%. I have used it on1/2 mile of white poly horse fence for the past three years and it works great at about 10% of the cost of wet and forget. I mix it 6 oz/ gallon of water and add 1 oz/ gallon of fabuloso as a wetting agent.
