Long-Life Algae Protection for Clear, Confident Pool Water
Lo-Chlor Long-Life Pool Algaecide is a proven preventative algaecide that remains active in pool water for up to 90 days, helping reduce the chance of algae taking hold between regular maintenance routines.
Based on Lo-Chlor’s long-established formulation (originally known as Lo-Chlor Pool Conditioner), it uses a unique organo copper complex to deliver reliable algae control while maintaining a non-staining performance when used as directed.
Features & Benefits
- Long-life prevention – helps prevent algae growth for up to 90 days with a single dose.
- Non-staining formulation – uses a complexed copper system to help minimise the risk of staining when used correctly.
- Broad algae control – effective against common algae types including green, blue-green, mustard, black, and pink algae.
- All-season maintenance support – ideal for routine pool care and helpful when opening pools in warmer months.
- Great for salt chlorinated pools – can assist as a booster for salt chlorine generators.
How It Works
The active copper in Lo-Chlor Long-Life Pool Algaecide is held in a specially formulated organo copper complex. This helps the copper stay in solution and remain effective in the water for longer, delivering ongoing algae protection across the treatment period.
At the recommended dosage, the copper level is approximately 0.26 ppm, which is below the commonly referenced Australian guideline level of 0.3 ppm for pool water.
