More time to swim

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a second-year pool owner, I've learned regular monitoring, maintenance, and having what you need on hand will keep a pool clear. It amazes me how quickly things go wrong when you don't. With HTH algae guard added weekly. There is less need to over-chlorinate my water. More time to swim in a safer pool.

Nice clean water!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you own a pool you know these humid conditions wreak havoc on your water. We have bad algae problems here when it’s like this. Since I’ve been adding this algae guard in maintenance doses, we haven’t had an algae problem. Recommended to my neighbor as well and he’s thankful!

Great for keep pool algae free

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This HTH® Pool Care Algae Guard Advanced is great for getting the pool back to good, and keeping it that way. I had a problem last summer with green algae in my pool. I read up and this was recommended, along with brushing it more often. I started adding this weekly and brushing more often. It’s easy to use, and I just add it to the water, run the filter and it’s good to go. The water is crystal clear and my family is super happy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] HTH Pool Care Algae Guard Advanced is my go to product for preventing and treating heavy algae blooms in my pool.

Amazing Job!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I took a before pic so posting the after won't make sense. The HTH pool care algae was a miracle worker. Our pool was a gross shade of green, after reading the directions and adding in the amount needed our pool is now a lovely shade of clear blue. There was no weird after smell either.

Worked fast

Would Recommend

New pool just completed in time for a hot Palm Springs summer. Didn't take long for green algae to start. Used HTH initial treatment then after 3 days another dose. Pool has been algae free since. I purposely left one spot of algae in pool to see if HTH worked and it was gone after 3 days.

Smelly and foamy...YUK!!!

Would Not Recommend

Used a little less than the start up dose (15oz in 32,000 gallons) on my green pool after I had checked chemicals and shocked 4 hours before. Foamy (esp out of bubbler and waterfall) and smelly (some kind of ammonia smell) still after 18hrs. Now i have a mess and think only way to get rid of it is empty the pool..
