Product Description

Long-Life Algae Protection for Summer Pool Conditions

Lo-Chlor Long-Life Summercare Pool Algaecide is a specialised long-life algaecide formulated to manage algae growth during hot summer conditions, when higher water temperatures, increased use, and stronger sunlight place extra demand on pool water balance.

Using Lo-Chlor’s exclusive slow-release organo copper complex, Summercare provides ongoing algae control for up to three months while supporting water clarity and helping other pool chemicals perform more efficiently throughout the summer season.

Features & Benefits

Summer-focused algae control – formulated for hot weather, high UV exposure, and increased pool use.
Long-life performance – helps prevent algae growth for up to 3 months.
Broad algae coverage – assists in the control of green, blue-green, black spot, and mustard algae.
Slow-release organo copper complex – delivers consistent protection without rapid depletion.
Significant clarifying effect – helps maintain clear, visually appealing pool water.
Salt chlorinator booster – supports efficient chlorine performance during peak summer demand.
Non-staining formulation – suitable for all common pool finishes when water is balanced.

How It Works

Summercare uses a slow-release organo copper complex combined with a secondary algaecidal agent to provide sustained algae protection during periods of increased biological activity.

At lower summer operating pH levels, algae cell structures are more receptive to treatment, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate more effectively while remaining stable in solution. This delivers reliable long-term control without the need for frequent reapplication.

Summer algae prevention and water clarity support

How to Use

Ensure pool water is clean and free from visible debris or algae.
Test and balance water prior to application.
Adjust pH to between 7.0 and 7.2 for best results.
With the pump running, add the calculated dose evenly around the pool perimeter.
Allow normal filtration to circulate the product thoroughly.
Regular brushing is recommended, particularly in high-use periods.

Dosage: 1 litre treats 50,000 litres of pool water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Summercare a preventative or curative algaecide?

Summercare is designed for both prevention and control during summer conditions. It helps manage existing algae while providing long-term protection to reduce recurrence during hot weather.

How long does Summercare remain effective?

When used as directed and with balanced water, a single dose can help prevent algae growth for up to 3 months.

Is this suitable for salt chlorinated pools?

Yes. Summercare is compatible with salt chlorinated pools and helps support chlorine efficiency during periods of high demand.

Can this product be used during holidays or periods of heavy pool use?

Yes. Summercare is well suited to periods of high usage, including holidays, as it provides ongoing algae protection without the need for frequent dosing.

Should phosphate levels be tested after application?

Yes. Phosphate testing is recommended after adding a Lo-Chlor algaecide, as phosphates act as a nutrient source for algae and can reduce long-term effectiveness if left unmanaged.

Can this product replace chlorine?

No. Summercare is an algaecide and must be used alongside a registered pool sanitiser. Normal sanitiser levels should always be maintained.
