Algae on the bottom of your pool floor is a common problem, particularly in the Wet Season and if the chlorine levels are not maintained. 

It is simple to treat, follow the steps below:

• Turn the filter off until the water stops moving
• Then broadcast dry chlorine over the effected area
• Next day, brush and gently vacumn to waste any residue left around the effected area and retreat anything missed in the first treatment
• Test your pool to ensure that the chlorine level is between 3 and 5
• Follow up this treament with a water test and a treatment of a quality algaecide

For the long term management of this problem,

• maintain a constant chlorine level of between 3 and 5
• using a quality algaecide like Pool Drops or Black & Green Algaecide
