trust this brand and product

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] you can actually swim 15 minutes after applying this to your pool. that is a game changer for us. it seems to last longer than i'm used to also. it appears to work on all different types of algae so you don't have to be specific in what you purchase. this is a great brand that i trust for my pool needs.

Rather stick with Super Algae Guard

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A little History: I have been using HTH's Super Algae Guard exclusively for my garden fountain over the past 2 years. It was the only additive I've found that keeps the water flowing clear. Anyone with an outdoor garden fountain knows how tedious it can be other than draining and refilling it all together. Once I had to chance to try the Ultimate version, I thought it was going to be even better than the Super version. It's definitely not be...

Best algae guard

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our pool started growing algae after going on vacation and not getting serviced while we were gone. This not only cleaned up the algae it has kept the algae from coming back. It is simple to use. We love this product!

Works too slow

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I decided to try this liquid it was because my pool was starting to have a little bit of Algae but it was very minimal, after putting it according to the instructions the water turned completely green !!! it was horrible!!! but I let the chemical work, it takes about 5 days to turn blue, it works too slow, not like it says on the boat ... after that I took a water sample and took it to a specialized pool place and it turned out it was hi...

Works well

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved the HTH ultimate algae guard from Tryit sampling. We used this on our pool for green algae and it seemed to work pretty well....I looked up the prices and it is a whole lot cheaper than the the other stuff I had been using so I'll make the switch.

Works great!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After being gone for a extended weekend I came home to a green pool. I was so happy that product worked great and turned my water back clear. It was so easy to use. I have a bigger pool so it took the whole bottle so I just walked around it pouring it in. It didn’t take long before I started noticing a big difference.

Works Quick

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this for about 2 weeks and all of the algae has disappeared. The liquid doesnt have a strong chemical smell and only a small amount is needed. Just dump a small amount in and within a few hrs you can see a huge difference in the water. By far this is the best algae guard I've found.

Great Algae Guard !

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the HTH® Ultimate Algae Guard, 1 Qt for my in ground pool. I live in the south, and in the summer on top of the heat we have high humidy. When you have all this the clouding or pool turning green happens often. So with this you need a good product to fight the algae in the pool. With this product from HTH not only fights the algae and clears the water, but it also keeps the water clear ! I highly recommend HTH® Ultimate Algae Guard.

It works!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had an issue with algae in our pool for as long as we've lived in our home. We scrubbed and treated with an array of products that all created this nasty foam in the pool like soap bubbles. Algae Guard did not foam at all and it treated the water quickly! I put it in the pool as directed over a week ago and I am happy to say we are algae free! Our pool is crystal clear and beautiful. I am so happy to have found this product and I only wi...

Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started using this two weeks ago and I gotta say no issues. It does create some foam but it wasn't much and it dissolved within minutes. I used ALOT because my pool got really bad after a storm and it did leave a chemical smell but it did not last very long. I put it in around 10PM and I checked the pool the following day when I got home from work at 5pm and the smell was gone. I have been using alot less every 5 days or so and no issues with...

Great Algae guard

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this HTH algae guard because it’s summertime here in FL and algae is a major problem with the heat and humidity. This works great! It’s extra concentrated so a little goes a long way for maintenance. I definitely recommend using this product if you have an algae issue in your pool.

Perfect Fix to the Algae Issue

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the perfect fix for the algae that started in the pool. It was so simple and quick to use! I bought the correct amount (based on the size of the pool), poured it in, and watched as the water cleared up! Now, we’re back to enjoying our days in the sun!

WOW!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I mean I was amazed at how well the HTH Ultimate Age Guard preformed. My pool was super yuck with my kids asking every day when I would get out and clean it. I put this Algae Guard in and boom- job about 10 times easier than normal. I can't imagine ever cleaning the pool without it.

Works fast & efficient

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had used this in my pool after we had a weekend of friends over & lots of swimming. I had noticed the sides of my pool were feeling a little slimy. So I used the hth and I only had to use a little it wasn't very much. The color is a dark blue so don't get scared when you dump it in your pool it quickly disappears. I waited about 30 minutes just to be safe and when I went to check it was already working. The slimy was less & the next day it wa...

Bye bye green water

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this for the first time recently and my pool has since been crystal clear. My pool has a tendency to try to go green a bit especially along the walls and bottom of the deep end. Since using HTH Ultimate Algae Guard there isn’t any algae accumulating. I am more than pleased with this product and it will be a regular part of my pool maintenance.
