I have a bestway pool that is 12x30 inches that I use an Intex filter and an Intex saltwater filter. I was having trouble with my saltwater filter and my salt level so I didn't run it for a day or 2 while trying to get my levels correct.. BIG MISTAKE! I had some nasty film of algae covering the walls, and although my pool is small enough to drain I didn't want to give up my perfect temp of 90 degree pool water.
I ordered this and put in one dose for my water amount and then ran my pool filter and saltwater filter for 12 hours. (I could have done less but that was the maximum and I wanted to kick some algae butt) Before putting this in I took a brush and moved the algae off the walls of the pool so it was floating. It looked like I really didn't have any algae at that point but the water had a green tint to it. The 12 hours of my filters and this algaecide worked so well. The water was clear and the bottom was almost spotless. The water did smell a little stronger like bleach than it does with just my salt filter so I was nervous for us to swim. I tested and we were in safe range and it didn't bleach our suits or notice any eye burning or anything. This was the day after the treatment. I'm so happy I have this in my pool chem arsenal.
Note: I added the pictures I took of the algae so you could see what I was working with.

First Summer in south Florida with a pool. Everything was perfect and balanced until the rain began. After 2 weeks of hard daily rain I started to see algae bloom on the sides of the pool. After brushing the algae off pool walls, the water turned a milky blue and visibility dropped significantly. My home test strips showed normal and in range so I went to my local pool store for a more advanced (free) test and my phosphates (organic compounds ie. rain leaves sunscreen) had risen to 200ppm. (range should be from 0-100). Phosohates are algae food. The pool store tried to sell me $200 worth of supplies. So I went online and read about this. I went for it. A 16k gal pool I added the entire bottle to the skimmer (maybe over kill but I did not want to have to spend more and do it again). I let my pump run for eight hours. Then I cleaned the filter and replaced ran again for eight more hours with our electric pool cleaner on no stop as well. Next day (24 hours later) my pool is almost back. 30 hours after initial treatment and two more filter cleanings adding phoso free with pool perfect, My pool is crystal clear, ready to swim in just over a day and $20 later. Much better then the $200 they wanted to sell me. I would recommend for the start of algae bloom. But a but of advice. Treat asap. As soon as you see it. The longer you wait the more it will cost and the more time you will not be able to swim.
