Economical Long-Life Algae Prevention

Lo-Chlor Algaway Algaecide is a cost-effective maintenance algaecide formulated to help prevent algae growth for up to three months, making it ideal for ongoing pool care and seasonal protection.

Using a slow-release formulation, Algaway provides consistent algae control while supporting water clarity and overall pool balance. It is suitable for use across a wide range of pool finishes and works alongside most recognised sanitising systems.

Economical algae protection for routine pool maintenance

Features & Benefits

  • Long-Life Algae Protection – Helps prevent algae growth for up to three months with a single dose.
  • Economical Maintenance Solution – Designed for routine algae prevention with excellent value for larger pools.
  • Broad Algae Control – Assists in the control of green, blue-green, black spot, and mustard algae.
  • Slow-Release Performance – Provides steady, ongoing protection rather than rapid depletion.
  • Supports Clear Water – Offers a noticeable clarifying effect during regular use.
  • Salt Pool Friendly – An effective booster for salt water chlorinators.

How It Works

Algaway uses a slow-release algaecide formulation that gradually disperses active ingredients through the pool water. This helps limit algae development over time while remaining effective across a wide pH range.

By maintaining consistent algae control, Algaway allows sanitisers and filtration systems to work more efficiently, reducing the likelihood of recurring algae returning.

Long-Life Algae Prevention

How to Use

  • Test and balance pool water before treatment.
  • Reduce pH to between 7.0 and 7.2 for best results.
  • With the filtration system operating, add the required dose evenly around the pool.
  • Brush pool surfaces to assist in algae removal where required.
  • Continue normal filtration after application.

Dosage & Coverage

  • General Maintenance: Add 1 litre per 50,000 litres of pool water.
  • Higher Algae Load: Add 2 litres per 50,000 litres

Regular maintenance dosing helps reduce the likelihood of algae returning, particularly during warmer months or periods of high pool use.

Important Usage & Compatibility Information

  • Suitable for use in pools with recognised sanitising systems, including chlorine and salt chlorinators.
  • Not recommended for use in pools fitted with ionisers or Nature2 systems.
  • Do not superchlorinate for 48 hours before or after using this product.
  • Regular brushing improves effectiveness, especially where algae has previously been present.
  • For very heavy infestations, phosphate control using Starver® Pool Maintenance is recommended.
  • Always test phosphate levels after algae treatment and address if required.

This product is an algaecide and must be used alongside a registered pool sanitiser. Ensure normal sanitising levels are restored and water is balanced before swimming.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lo-Chlor Algaway used for treatment or prevention?
Algaway is primarily a maintenance and prevention algaecide. It is designed to help prevent algae growth over time rather than act as a rapid curative treatment for heavy infestations.
Can Algaway be used after an algae outbreak has been cleared?
Yes. Once active algae has been removed, Algaway is well suited as a follow-up maintenance treatment to help reduce the chance of algae returning.
How long does the algae protection last?
A single maintenance dose helps prevent algae growth for up to three months, depending on pool conditions, water balance, and usage.
Should I brush the pool when using Algaway?
Yes. Regular brushing helps prevent algae from anchoring to pool surfaces and improves the overall effectiveness of maintenance treatments.
Can I use Algaway with other pool chemicals?
Algaway is compatible with most recognised sanitisers and pool additives. Avoid superchlorination for 48 hours before and after application to ensure optimal performance.
Why is phosphate testing recommended?
Phosphates act as a food source for algae. If phosphate levels remain high, algae may still develop even with preventative treatment. Testing and managing phosphates helps improve long-term results.
Is Algaway suitable for all pool finishes?
Yes. When used as directed, Algaway is suitable for all common pool finishes, including concrete, pebble, fibreglass, and tiled pools.
Will this product replace chlorine or other sanitisers?
No. Algaway is an algaecide and must be used alongside a registered pool sanitiser. Normal sanitising levels should always be maintained.
Is Algaway suitable for pools with ionisers or Nature2 systems?
No. Algaway is not recommended for use in pools fitted with ionisers or Nature2 systems.
What should I know before using Algaway?
When used according to the label directions, Algaway is safe and effective. Always avoid contact with skin and eyes, keep out of reach of children, and follow all handling instructions.
