Eliminate and prevent green algae in your above ground or inground swimming pool

Description

An Algae Bar is a 1/2 inch diameter by 3 inch long silver plated copper bar. When an Algae Bar is placed in water an electrical effect called electrolysis occurs. Electrolysis produces a small electrical current between the two metals. This current causes the copper to corrode releasing copper ions into the water. Circulating the water distributes the copper ions to the green algae. When the copper ion comes into contact with the algae cell the outer membrane of the cell is destroyed, thereby killing the algae cell and preventing reproduction. An Algae Bar provides the same results you will get with the more expensive computer assisted ionization devices, at a fraction of the cost. The next time you use an algacide look at the main ingredient, it is always copper. But with an Algae bar you can’t add too much copper, as with an algaecide, so you never get staining or a foaming film on the top of your pool water. One Algae Bar is effective in up to 7,000 gallons of water. Use one Algae Bar if your swimming pool is 7,000 gallons or under. Use two Algae Bars to control the green algae in 14,000 gallons of water. Our testing has shown that three Algae Bars in 20,000 gallons of water is the effective limit of our product. Keep in mind that the end goal here is to have an algae free pool or pond. If your water volume is say 6,000 gallons, near the limit of one Algae Bar, 2 Algae Bars will definately do the job. For a 13,000 gallon pool 3 Algae Bars will be extra insurance that you will definately prevent algae from blooming and fouling your water. With the Algae Bar more is better. In smaller bodies of water such as koi ponds, spas, water gardens, fountains and rinse tanks in plating lines the Algae Bar is phenomenal.
