Top Tip: Preventing Algae Growth After a Thunderstorm

After a thunderstorm, it is crucial to take immediate action to prevent algae growth in your pool. Lightening creates nitrogen in the atmosphere, which is then washed into the pool by rain. Algae thrive on nitrogen, causing the water to turn green rapidly. To counteract this, it is recommended to shock dose your pool with a 5mg/l dose of Blue Horizons Granular Shock Chlorine or Shock ‘n’ Floc Granules. This chlorine shock treatment helps eliminate the excess nitrogen and prevents algae infestation.
