What does it remove?
Targets stubborn black spot algae at the root, to stop it from coming back. Worse cases may require 2-3 applications spread out over 2-3 weeks.
How does the formula work?
A slow-dissolving, concentrated formula releases active ingredients gradually over 24 hours.
How should I apply it?
Apply directly or pre-dissolve (depending on pool surface) with the pump running.
For quicker results, brush the surface of the algae before application; helping to remove it's waxy protective layer.
What ongoing water conditions should be checked?
Ensure pH is around 7.2–7.6 and proper chlorine levels are maintained.
How long does treatment take?
It works over several hours of circulation; usually 24 hours. Repeat in 7 days time if algae are severe.
Can I use this in a fiberglass or vinyl pool?
Yes, while rare, blackspot may still bloom in fiberglass or vinylpools. To apply, always pre-dissolve in a large bucket. Add above pool returns with pump running. Do not add undissolved product — may cause surface damage or bleaching.
Can I use this in a concrete or tiled pool?
Yes, add directly to affected spot with the pump running.

Water TechniX Black Spot Algae Remover – Powerful Algae Control for Pools
Water TechniX Black Spot Algae Remover is a premium, slow-dissolving, high-strength treatment designed to eliminate black spot algae and keep your pool crystal clear. Perfect for treating widespread or difficult-to-spot algae, this product helps you maintain a clean and healthy pool year-round.
💡 Did You Know Black spot algae's root cause is usually a lack of sanitisation (chlorine). If black spot keeps appearing, check that your chlorine levels are balanced (usually 2-4 ppm for residential pools). If your chlorine level is consistently under, your chlorinator, salt levels or salt cell may need assessing to ensure enough chlorine is being dosed.
