TRIED YOUR METHOD 3 YEARS AGO. THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN UNBELIEVEABLE ! HAVE NOT HAD EVEN A HINT OF ALGAE SINCE. BESIDES MY NORMAL CHLORINE EXPENSE, THIS YEAR I SPENT EXACTLY $30 ON CHEMICALS FOR STABILIZING THE WATER. WISH I KNEW THIS INFO YEARS AGO. THANKS MAN

I'm a new homeowner with a pool and I love these videos! There are so many helpful tips that you wouldn't normally get from a pool company. Your open honesty is always appreciated! Now time to go take care of this greenish water that just recently started happening...

Like your channel, I've been doing pools for thirty years in hawaii, your advice is where you need to start from and that's 90 percent the problem..... so good job.......

been using this method for a while but u describe it well so people can understand.

I appreciate you and you taking time to teach us. I was paying someone for 4.5 years and he was taking advantage of me. Hired another guy and the same. I got mad and decided to learn from KZfaq and found you 💕. I appreciate you!!!

Thanks a million for this tip on the phosphate remover. This has been a game changer for me. I live in Oklahoma City in an area with lots of trees, windy weather, and super sunny weather. Since I moved to a new house with a pool, I had been constantly fighting green algae with a barrage of liquid chlorine, tablets, bags upon bags of shock--you name it. I was also scrubbing with a brush constantly and the algae came back EVERY WEEK with a vengeance. I even changed the water out, only to have the same problem. I started using this phosphate remover and have been following up with small doses every few weeks and it's been the magic bullet I've been looking for. My best guess is that we just have tons and tons of airborne organic particles landing in the pool that were feeding the algae. This was the solution--only took me about 18 months to figure it out. THANK YOU!!

This is such a good video. Thanks for sharing this information and serving the facts straight up. Love your knowledge and your delivery. Going to get the TriClor + PR 10,000 and get this turned around.

Such an informative video and explained so clearly. So tired of feeling lost with our pool maintenance and feeling like we're just dumping tons of products (money) in. Will try this for any future algae problems.

Very informative and very well done. I have am on my first pool and for three years, I have not had a problem. Now I do. Thanks to you I am correct in cleaning it up. THANKS!

One of the best video on pool care. Thank you so much. I will also like to add that taking care of Algae is 1st priority then Ph-Alkalinity balance which is 2nd priority.

Thank you for posting all your informative videos. I am considering servicing my own pool and your videos are easy to follow and do not put me to sleep or make me feel too overwhelmed! You are an excellent teacher. My pool is green currently so I am off to the pool supply store with a sample of the water. Wish me luck!

Thanks for the information....I took your advice and followed the steps.....I had yellow mustard algae and never thought I would ever get rid of it....you said it right, after I spent hundreds of dollars on chemicals including algaecides the algae would keep coming back time after time while my water turned a teal color at best and most times I could not see the floor of my pool for the green cloudy coloring. After buying the phosphate treatment online and following the directions on the bottle, my pool turned from a swampy green to a cloudy blue...after letting the sand filter run for a few days the cloudiness cleared up and I vaccumed the dead algae to waste. After 1 week I had my pool crystal clear....thanks Kenny for sharing your knowledge!

I just want to say thank you so much for your help. I cleaned my filter for the first time today and picked up PR 10,000. The shop was surprised I knew about it ;) This video was recommended from a Facebook pool group. Best of luck to you!

Sir I really like the way you teach. I am a layman of the first order when it comes to caring and maintaining a pool and I am having zero issues understanding your lessons and especially the reasons for it. I am 60 yrs of age and this is my first pool. I tried many other videos before finding yours. My pool guy stopped coming at the beginning of March and I have already learned to deal with the algae that started a week ago, I figured out the pipes and flow and marked them, completed the backflush, and learned to fix the multiport valve gasket and stopped the water that was flowing out of my backflush drain line when i ran my system at night. So thank you for the lessons. Please keep up the good work so us layman have a chance.

Thanks for the great information on getting rid of Algae.

I often watch videos in the event I am puzzled. Your video on algecides makes perfect sense. I will follow the phosphate removal method. Typically I don’t use them either and perform all the steps but this year it got me maybe because of water flow in basket. Thanks.

Finally someone who explains how to do this! I was given an 18x48pool with salt system. I know nothing about this and have been searching for sensible instructions. I'm so glad I found this!!! My pool turned green almost overnight and I was at a loss and going to buy algacide to dump in it. Now I know why and how to treat it!

Just found this guy and what knowledge! and he is in my state and understands our problems with the desert region! great info

Wow, I just wanted to say a big thank you! Your information is absolutely amazing and so detailed! I can't thank you enough for helping me out with my black algae problem last year. I was so frustrated after being scammed by the local pool store, but your advice really saved the day. And guess what? This season, your tips worked like magic and cleared my pool in no time! I have to say, the PR10,000 is absolutely fantastic and did wonders!

Your videos are so informative and helpful. I have been able to maintain my pool in pristine condition because of your pool school videos. Thank you!

Best video for getting rid of algae on the web!!! As I new pool owner I was struggling with algae until I watched this video. Using phosphate remover alone, my pool has never seen algae AGAIN. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This video needs way more views!

Thanks for this video!!!!! Just started our 32nd season. Have never been a fan of algaecides. Best info, yet.

Great video. I've been cleaning pools for nearly 20 years and stress dearly, that it's highly important to keep phosphates out of pool and chemicals balanced and pool will sparkle.

You are 100% correct about this. It took me 20 years to figure this out. Wish I had had KZfaq! Great info!

You are the best! We are in Arizona and our neighbors have a Mesquite tree that is constantly dropping something in the water. This year for the first time it's been a real struggle to keep the algae out and our pool company is not the best in the valley... So, we have to do it ourselves.. Thank you for your awesome video - you are the man.

Love an honest professional whos not out the to rip off people. Keep it up man and i hope your business is booming. You deserve it 👏

thank you a lot.The expression was good_ precise, to the point, apt words,clear accent and above all rich contents, which helps the needy..This i recommend as model for others to emulate.

Im a new pool owner and have been battling Algae since March. Not one person at the pool stores have mentioned phosphates. Thank you very much.

I have been playing the fight algae game since last year. This is by far the best advice . Thank You!,,

Thank you! This year has been a so of a B.... for me and dealing with algae. My husband passed away 6 years ago and he always maintained the pool. I had no idea what I was doing. I hired a independent pool professional and was spending a lot of money. I felt like I was being taken advantage of, so I started taking water samples to the pool company and every time I went in they we're selling me something. Again, I felt like I was being taken advantage of. I began researching on you tube how to care for my pool. I've learned SO much and have been successfully maintaining my pool for 5 years, until this spring. The algae was terrible and I have been struggling to get rid of it. This video's content will save me from further aggravation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it greatly.

Good video Kenny ...I was paying someone 200 per month to take care of my pool...after watching KZfaq videos for a month I now take care of my own pool..They were (FAKERS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER.)One thing that happens a lot in CA. is the CYA builds after years of using tricolor tabs due to their ease of use.When this happens your chlorine is not effective and algae blooms and phosphates accumulate. Hence the hamster wheel effect..What I did was drain my pool and started over with the chemical puzzle that pools create.Nice to see confirmation of my self education ..I’m a subscriber now.

Lots of good information! Thanks for this video.

Thank you for this! I have been educated. You may not be popular with pool service providers as your channel may eventually put them out of business, but I thoroughly appreciate the time and information you have put into your videos-especially this one.

This is the best video on phosphate removal on KZfaq and I’ve seen a lot of them and this one actually turned my pool water blue again thank you.

VERY INFORMATIVE! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!

This is just good, straight forward advice.

Great! Thank you!!!! I just subscribed. You are terrific. Thank you for sharing your immense knowledge!!!

I have learned so much about my Arizona pool just in the last couple days of watching your videos! You need to be a Teacher...or you have the Great qualities of a Good teacher!!. Concise descriptions and thorough explanations! thanks! !

Very clear and precise message! And I don't need to spend much money! Thank you very much indeed!

Honestly I think your channel will help me to save a lot of money, and I’ll try this summer to be my own pool service guy!

Thank you so very much. This is great information. We're new to the pool game and I'm so glad to be learning from you early before we do damage or start bad habits. Great videos. Please keep them coming.

Best vid yet straight forward & informative. Thank you for making allow us better consumers.

Best video R/T understanding of how the chemicals work and what to use. Thank you so much for the information,I can’t tell you how much it help’s me to know what I need to do to clear my pool. I at least know what I am going buy to deal with the problems I am having with the water.

Hi Kenny, Thank you for the video....great information and thorough explanations. Have watched several pool school videos and really appreciate the fact of ending every video I have watched with your tag line of ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS HAVE A DESIGNATED WATCHER WITH CHILDREN AROUND A POOL. We live in Florida and it pains me every year when an incident with a child and pool hits the news. Every pool owner should be required to take a pool safety course. Thanks again and keep up the great work!!!

Thank you so much for the info.

This guy gives the best advice ever. I struggled with algae for weeks until I listen to him. I used shock, algaecides, etc, but his advice worked immediately. It also cleared up the brownish rim around my stairs. Looks like Uncle Rico, but the guy is gold

Wow, thank you for talking about the metals absorbing thru the skin. Fantastic video! You have a NEW subscriber🤗

Very informative video... I’ve had my pool for 20 years and this year I have green swampy water that won’t clear up....I’m glad I came across your video....I’m going to do exactly what you stated......Thanks for the great information....I’ll post an update....Thanks again!!!

Thank you for the info. Gonna give it a try. Thank you for good honest advise.

Oh my gosh! You are a godsend! Battling a light green algae on sides of pool and the pool stores love to have you spend tons of money and still wasnt working, so frustrated and broke! Thanks from the bottom of my heart

Hi there! I live in Costa Rica and we don’t have PR10,000. I got Alum Sulfate very cheap instead, and got my pool green to blue in one day. Just by following your recipe: Triclore and the sulfate. The only thing I did different is that I turned off the pump for 24hours and vacuum out to waste next day since the sulfate works killing the phosphate but also as a flokulant. Now I am refilling about 3inches of water, to put clorine and ph to level. Anyway, now is sparkling..thanks!

One of the best knowledge sessions on the WEB

you are amazing at explaining your info. thank you!!!!

Thanks Kenny, your information helped me a lot.

Thanks! !!! My pool is not even done and I have a tree back there that will certainly drop leaves in it. Took notes.

Thank you! Makes perfect sense. Appreciate the tip.

Thank you your the best pool teacher. Sam from Florida

THANKS SO MUCH KENNY !!! THIS WAS VERY INFORMATIVE ,FOR A GUY THAT HAS NEVER OWNED A POOL !! YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT ,AND HOPE THIS WILL SOLVE MY ALGEA PROBLEM !! THANKS AGAIN JESSE VIA LAS VEGAS

Nice! Earned a sub with that one. This was the one missing link in my pool routine. I never use algaecide but I wasnt aware of the phosphate issue. Big help. Thanks..

Definitely explains a lot more details about why my pool has been giving me so much trouble lately, and I haven't been able to get it clean all summer. Our neighbor has a huge cypress tree, that is constantly ruining everything, but he will not even entertain cutting it down. On top of that, it rained a ton this season. The local guy kept telling me to use alkalinity up, then shock. That worked, but only for a short time. But now I know, and I thank you a lot.

Thankyou for sharing all this info!!you're awesome!

Your the man Kenny, appreciate you doing these videos.

Many many thanks! I'm now a subscriber!

Thank u so much!!! This was such great information! I've had a poor for 2 years and all the chemicals have been so confusing, especially the algaecides!! Thanks again!!!

Great info, easy to understand!!!

I just got a small above ground and I'm having to learn. I cleaned pools for a campground when I was a teenager so I forgot everything lol. I was just wondering why you can't just put a algae eating fish in the pool ? Ha ha ha ha just joking. This is the best channel by far for info direct and to the point. New sub here.

Man, thank you. Ive been having to sweep my new pool all the time and couldnt figure out why I was continually having algae. Phosphate remover is on the way and I cant wait to try it.

Cyanuric acid level is the x-factor on how to treat algae in the swim season. PR1000 works great in certain situations, and sodium bromide in others. I too am not for killing algae with trace metals. Good info here though! Especially mentioning trichlor shock as most will just use cal hypo all the time.

Thanks so much I have been battling yellow algae for 2 years I’m going to give this a try

To add one more thing. Make sure the cyanaric acid lvlis either ideal or lower than ideal .To much can block or slow the chlorine process down to the point you'll have to use 3,4,5× times as much shock to be effective. Great video!! I did not know that phosphates are released when the algae is killed.

Thank you for this it will help me very much.

I love you man! 😁 I consider you my pool guru. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏🏻 and this episode is particularly helpful/timely this time of year in Phoenix, with the current heat wave and monsoons about to begin.

Thank you for all the useful information!

Always the best information!

I own a pool cleaning company and agree fully with everything you said but. I know on it's only a small number that will learn this but it still affects the business.

Good information about Algae I will need to know that .

Omg you are amazing !!! The best on KZfaq

Hello - I really like your videos! I am from CA (now address in Tucson) but live full time on the French Riviera. The algae here is crazy! I took your advise and found these products and ordered them. Hopefully it will help with the problem. Thanks a lot. Barbara

I fully agree! I just made a video on this same topic!

oh I love the voice of reason----thank you

Excellent information, thank you.

That was one great learning video, thank you. I subscribed 👍

Thanks. I live in Spain and I've never had a pool before. You made me an expert!!! My pool is perfect. No algae. It test great.

Hey!! I’m in Tucson too. My pool is dark green turning it into an organic swimming pond. Putting plants in soon

Thank you so much for this video. Especially for skipping the BS. I shocked the pool the first day and added PR-10000-QT Phosphate Remover the second day. The water turned crystal clear in less than a day. Glad I didn't waste money on algaecides. Thanks again.

Very interesting. I've been struggling with damn algae for weeks here in TN. It's constantly 90f here and pool water is in the 80's F. I kept shocking, algae keeps coming back. Now I know why. I figured out everything else, but this one thing was missing. THANKS BROTHER!

Awesome video thank you for this information !!!!! Just opened today and....... Algae 😧

Thank you . The video was so helpful.

Epic education! Im so glad I found you!

This was very helpful. The house we moved into has many many trees around in the yard. I get way more pollen off of them. And there is a stupid planting area in the screened in lanai. I think I am getting a lot of that in the pool and it is causing the algae. Thanks so much for all the useful information.

Thank you for the information.

Thank you ,

Thanks

Keep saving me $$$, I love it man. Thank you .

great advice - best i've found on the net

Gracias, saludos desde Texas!!!!

by far most education thus far from any video on topic. I am laughing as I had a large fight with algae last year and the store took me for a ride "buy this that this that, etc.). $300-400 later, water test again. "Phosphates are up." How?! (me)... Store (many reasons but more algaceide).. $500 later... I begin to think analytically.... Why spend $500 I could empty and refill for 750 35000 gallons. thanks for this lesson.

Good info as I battle the algae in my 15k gal pool like nobodies business; perks of living out in the country.

Thank you so much for the information

Great video, I'd like to point out that algae also needs nitrates and at least trace amounts of iron. but for sure, lanthanum chloride is probably the most cost effective way to reduce phosphates. I'll have to try the PR-1000 you recommend because we are dealing with precipitant issues right now, looks like a pool full of milk :(
