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!

ZERO algae!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a small above ground pool, and we always would end up with that slippery floored algae feeling, cloudy water, and fuzzy walls....then we got this amazing product! Have an algae problem? Get some of this stuff and you won't

Great Product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the HTH® Ultimate Algae Guard, 1 Qt. Solution for a couple weeks and it seems to work really good in out pool. Usually just overnight our pool gets green and slimy and now with this we can get back in the next day with clear, clean water!

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.

From Green to Blue!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our 24,000 gallon pool tends to get away from us rather quickly. However, when the Algae Guard was added, we saw results quickly. The product is easy to use and not messy like some pool chemicals can be. Sure, there are generic products out there that are cheaper, but sometimes it pays to spend a little more for quality results.

This works well
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Algae Guard is surprisingly easy to use. You follow the instructions on the back --and add as much as needed per gallon size of your pool. Then, simply pour it in and it does the rest! I had been having trouble with algae so this was the product I was searching for. So far we have sparkling crystal blue water with no signs of the algae returning. This product is intended to last and provide relief from algae for 90 days. So far that ...

Works well.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Usually, the algae gets really bad after a few days if you go without mainenance for a few days. With this agae guard you can go for 2 weeks without trying to keep up. We all live busy lives and sometimes its hard to keep up with the pool.

No more green pool!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] HTH Ultimate Algae Guard works great! It has helped her our pool summer ready and handled the algae problem we had from not properly wintering our pool. It was easy to use and the directions are extremely easy and simple to follow.

Nice that it's non-foaming
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The thing about algaecide that used to bug me was the foam. I'm glad to have found Ultimate Algae Guard, because I can add it and don't have to deal with the questions about that foam all over the pool.

Consistent performance
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ultimate Algae is by far the best product I’ve used for my pool Algae blooms. Every year we have fought the blooms with little success, until we started using this product which keep it in check! I highly recommend if you have a hard time keeping algae in control.

Crystal Blue Water - thanks HTH
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this HTH Ultimate to help get my pool in shape as the prior owner neglected it so badly. I was so impressed at how well it helped with the color and killing the algae. I would recommend this to anyone.

Needs to be larger.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As noted in my other review, I have a very large pool. Approx 50k gallons. This small bottle came no where close to meeting my requirements. I did use the whole bottle, and it worked temporarily to get my color more blue, but alas, it was no use against heavy pollen and algae. If the bottle came in a variety of sizes, it would be perfect. Also, I would prefer the shape of the other containers with a handle. I felt like I was going to drop this ...

Algae's Worst Nightmare
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This just works. Period. Pour some in several spots around your pool with the pump running and you'll be algae-free for three months. I've tried several other products but nothing works like HTH Ultimate Algae Guard. Highly-recommend.
