DIY Pool Care
TRIED YOUR METHOD 3 YEARS AGO. THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN UNBELIEVEABLE ! HAVE NOT HAD EVEN A HINT OF ALGAE SINCE. BESIDES MY NORMAL CHLORINE EXPENSE, THIS YEAR I SPENT EXACTLY $30 ON CHEMICALS FOR STABILIZING THE WATER. WISH I KNEW THIS INFO YEARS AGO. THANKS MAN
So glad to hear that. I think this is one of the little known secrets to pool maintenance. I know a lot of really good pool service people who haven't heard of this either.
Oh my gosh! You are a godsend! Battling a light green algae on sides of pool and the pool stores love to have you spend tons of money and still wasnt working, so frustrated and broke! Thanks from the bottom of my heart
So glad to hear that. Thanks for commenting.. Hope you'll subscribe to my channel and share it with others.
@PoolSchooler I've been subscribed for a while because I find that you explain things very well and you make it simple to understand. I refer to your video every time I backwash my D.E filter. I had never seen your "algae and algaecides" video before and it really simplified it for me
I appreciate you and you taking time to teach us. I was paying someone for 4.5 years and he was taking advantage of me. Hired another guy and the same. I got mad and decided to learn from TH-cam and found you 💕. I appreciate you!!!
So glad to be of help. You may want to check out my website poolschooler.com for exclusive membership content. Check it out and even if you choose not to do that I hope you'll subscribe to my channel here.
been using this method for a while but u describe it well so people can understand.
This is such a good video. Thanks for sharing this information and serving the facts straight up. Love your knowledge and your delivery. Going to get the TriClor + PR 10,000 and get this turned around.
I'm a new homeowner with a pool and I love these videos! There are so many helpful tips that you wouldn't normally get from a pool company. Your open honesty is always appreciated! Now time to go take care of this greenish water that just recently started happening...

Thanks a million for this tip on the phosphate remover. This has been a game changer for me. I live in Oklahoma City in an area with lots of trees, windy weather, and super sunny weather. Since I moved to a new house with a pool, I had been constantly fighting green algae with a barrage of liquid chlorine, tablets, bags upon bags of shock--you name it. I was also scrubbing with a brush constantly and the algae came back EVERY WEEK with a vengeance. I even changed the water out, only to have the same problem. I started using this phosphate remover and have been following up with small doses every few weeks and it's been the magic bullet I've been looking for. My best guess is that we just have tons and tons of airborne organic particles landing in the pool that were feeding the algae. This was the solution--only took me about 18 months to figure it out. THANK YOU!!
I'm so glad to hear this. Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks for the information....I took your advice and followed the steps.....I had yellow mustard algae and never thought I would ever get rid of it....you said it right, after I spent hundreds of dollars on chemicals including algaecides the algae would keep coming back time after time while my water turned a teal color at best and most times I could not see the floor of my pool for the green cloudy coloring. After buying the phosphate treatment online and following the directions on the bottle, my pool turned from a swampy green to a cloudy blue...after letting the sand filter run for a few days the cloudiness cleared up and I vaccumed the dead algae to waste. After 1 week I had my pool crystal clear....thanks Kenny for sharing your knowledge!
Jason I am so happy to hear that!! Thanks for your comment. It’s always great to hear success stories like yours.
@@PoolSchooler I just put up a above intex pool and need to learn how to maintenance everything and learn what chemicals to use thank you for letting us all know not to waste money.

Thank you for posting all your informative videos. I am considering servicing my own pool and your videos are easy to follow and do not put me to sleep or make me feel too overwhelmed! You are an excellent teacher. My pool is green currently so I am off to the pool supply store with a sample of the water. Wish me luck!

Like your channel, I've been doing pools for thirty years in hawaii, your advice is where you need to start from and that's 90 percent the problem..... so good job.......
Such an informative video and explained so clearly. So tired of feeling lost with our pool maintenance and feeling like we're just dumping tons of products (money) in. Will try this for any future algae problems.
I had algea after coming back from vacation. My pool guy recommended dumping 4 gallons of chlorine in pool and let it sit for a day or 2. Killed it quick. Then just had to brush the dead algea off the walls and run the pump. Worked like a charm.
Very informative and very well done. I have am on my first pool and for three years, I have not had a problem. Now I do. Thanks to you I am correct in cleaning it up. THANKS!
Pete Heiser great to hear. I’ve had several above ground pools in fact in some of my videos I use that one as an example to demonstrate on.
You are the best! We are in Arizona and our neighbors have a Mesquite tree that is constantly dropping something in the water. This year for the first time it's been a real struggle to keep the algae out and our pool company is not the best in the valley... So, we have to do it ourselves.. Thank you for your awesome video - you are the man.
I often watch videos in the event I am puzzled. Your video on algecides makes perfect sense. I will follow the phosphate removal method. Typically I don’t use them either and perform all the steps but this year it got me maybe because of water flow in basket. Thanks.
Just found this guy and what knowledge! and he is in my state and understands our problems with the desert region! great info
Thank you for the complement.
Sir I really like the way you teach. I am a layman of the first order when it comes to caring and maintaining a pool and I am having zero issues understanding your lessons and especially the reasons for it. I am 60 yrs of age and this is my first pool. I tried many other videos before finding yours. My pool guy stopped coming at the beginning of March and I have already learned to deal with the algae that started a week ago, I figured out the pipes and flow and marked them, completed the backflush, and learned to fix the multiport valve gasket and stopped the water that was flowing out of my backflush drain line when i ran my system at night. So thank you for the lessons. Please keep up the good work so us layman have a chance.
Michael, you Sir are the reason I started my channel nearly three years ago. I thank you so much for watching, subscribing and for your kind comment. We aren't too far off in age (I'm 58). I can't tell you how delighted I am to hear that this channel has helped you do what I intended it for. Thanks again.
Thanks for the great information on getting rid of Algae.
thank you a lot.The expression was good_ precise, to the point, apt words,clear accent and above all rich contents, which helps the needy..This i recommend as model for others to emulate.
One of the best video on pool care. Thank you so much. I will also like to add that taking care of Algae is 1st priority then Ph-Alkalinity balance which is 2nd priority.
I just want to say thank you so much for your help. I cleaned my filter for the first time today and picked up PR 10,000. The shop was surprised I knew about it ;) This video was recommended from a Facebook pool group. Best of luck to you!
I'm so glad this video was helpful. Hope you'll subscribe to my channel.
Thanks for this video!!!!! Just started our 32nd season. Have never been a fan of algaecides.
Best info, yet.
Dave Alber thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
Wow, I just wanted to say a big thank you! Your information is absolutely amazing and so detailed! I can't thank you enough for helping me out with my black algae problem last year. I was so frustrated after being scammed by the local pool store, but your advice really saved the day. And guess what? This season, your tips worked like magic and cleared my pool in no time! I have to say, the PR10,000 is absolutely fantastic and did wonders!
So glad to hear that thank you for your kind comments and thank you for watching. Hope you will subscribe to my channel and share it with all your friends.
I have been playing the fight algae game since last year. This is by far the best advice . Thank You!,,
So glad it was helpful. Please subscribe to and share my channel with anyone you think may benefit from it. Thanks again.
Good video Kenny ...I was paying someone 200 per month to take care of my pool...after watching TH-cam videos for a month I now take care of my own pool..They were (FAKERS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER.)One thing that happens a lot in CA. is the CYA builds after years of using tricolor tabs due to their ease of use.When this happens your chlorine is not effective and algae blooms and phosphates accumulate.
Hence the hamster wheel effect..What I did was drain my pool and started over with the chemical puzzle that pools create.Nice to see confirmation of my self education ..I’m a subscriber now.
Your videos are so informative and helpful. I have been able to maintain my pool in pristine condition because of your pool school videos. Thank you!
That is so great to hear! Thank you for letting me know. I'm delighted my channel has helped you so much. I hope you''ll subscribe to and share my channel with others.
This is just good, straight forward advice.
Best video for getting rid of algae on the web!!! As I new pool owner I was struggling with algae until I watched this video. Using phosphate remover alone, my pool has never seen algae AGAIN. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This video needs way more views!
JayTiem98 thank you for your kind comment. I’d love to get more people this info. Please feel free to share it.
@@PoolSchooler Not a problem. My pool has been crystal clear since I have watched your video. Please keep up the great work.
Lots of good information! Thanks for this video.
Great video. I've been cleaning pools for nearly 20 years and stress dearly, that it's highly important to keep phosphates out of pool and chemicals balanced and pool will sparkle.
Great video thank you.

Happy to help. Check out my membership website www.poolschooler.com.
Thank you! This year has been a so of a B.... for me and dealing with algae.
My husband passed away 6 years ago and he always maintained the pool. I had no idea what I was doing. I hired a independent pool professional and was spending a lot of money. I felt like I was being taken advantage of, so I started taking water samples to the pool company and every time I went in they we're selling me something. Again, I felt like I was being taken advantage of.
I began researching on you tube how to care for my pool. I've learned SO much and have been successfully maintaining my pool for 5 years, until this spring. The algae was terrible and I have been struggling to get rid of it.
This video's content will save me from further aggravation.

Thank you so very much. This is great information. We're new to the pool game and I'm so glad to be learning from you early before we do damage or start bad habits. Great videos. Please keep them coming.

Thank you for this! I have been educated. You may not be popular with pool service providers as your channel may eventually put them out of business, but I thoroughly appreciate the time and information you have put into your videos-especially this one.
Yep. Ruined the whole pool care industry. Ten more people doing this to Amazon. They will be ruined by next week.
Lmao this method may work for a tiny above ground trash residential pool, but this guy is speaking in half truths. Can't even pronounce algae and you trust him? Lmao
Hi Kenny,
Thank you for the video....great information and thorough explanations.
Have watched several pool school videos and really appreciate the fact of ending every video I have watched with your tag line of ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS HAVE A DESIGNATED WATCHER WITH CHILDREN AROUND A POOL. We live in Florida and it pains me every year when an incident with a child and pool hits the news.
Every pool owner should be required to take a pool safety course. Thanks again and keep up the great work!!!
Check this video out on my story on this: th-cam.com/video/UcVOPD-WUwY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks bro! Last year had no issues at our new house.... yesterday woke up to green!
It’s been hot and windy this summer and have been adding tap water a lot more this year.
Imma hit it with the pr-10000 and see how it does.
SUBBED!
Sounds great!
I have learned so much about my Arizona pool just in the last couple days of watching your videos! You need to be a Teacher...or you have the Great qualities of a Good teacher!!. Concise descriptions and thorough explanations! thanks! !
Thanks for the complement Mike. I appreciate that. I actually am a teacher of sorts. I teach martial arts Jeet Kune Do/Filipino Martial Arts and dance (tap and jazz).

Definitely explains a lot more details about why my pool has been giving me so much trouble lately, and I haven't been able to get it clean all summer. Our neighbor has a huge cypress tree, that is constantly ruining everything, but he will not even entertain cutting it down. On top of that, it rained a ton this season. The local guy kept telling me to use alkalinity up, then shock. That worked, but only for a short time. But now I know, and I thank you a lot.
Glad it was helpful. I hope you will subscribe to my channel and share it with others.
@@PoolSchooler I subscribed as soon as I heard you explain why algaecides don't work and how to not only get rid of algae, but also keep it out. So like 2 minutes into the video.
This guy gives the best advice ever. I struggled with algae for weeks until I listen to him. I used shock, algaecides, etc, but his advice worked immediately. It also cleared up the brownish rim around my stairs. Looks like Uncle Rico, but the guy is gold
BubbGumpShrim thanks for the complement. I’m so glad the video was helpful.
Uncle Rico! LOL!! His advice is TRUTH!!!
Haven’t had any algae since
Thanks! !!! My pool is not even done and I have a tree back there that will certainly drop leaves in it. Took notes.
Wow, thank you for talking about the metals absorbing thru the skin. Fantastic video! You have a NEW subscriber🤗
You're welcome and thank you for watching and commenting.
To add one more thing. Make sure the cyanaric acid lvlis either ideal or lower than ideal .To much can block or slow the chlorine process down to the point you'll have to use 3,4,5× times as much shock to be effective.
Great video!! I did not know that phosphates are released when the algae is killed.
Brian Stark great point on the cya ad well. 👍
Nice! Earned a sub with that one. This was the one missing link in my pool routine. I never use algaecide but I wasnt aware of the phosphate issue. Big help. Thanks..
Glad it was helpful and thanks for subscribing.
Very interesting. I've been struggling with damn algae for weeks here in TN. It's constantly 90f here and pool water is in the 80's F. I kept shocking, algae keeps coming back. Now I know why. I figured out everything else, but this one thing was missing. THANKS BROTHER!
N G glad to be of assistance. Thanks for watching.
Did this help?
Hi there! I live in Costa Rica and we don’t have PR10,000. I got Alum Sulfate very cheap instead, and got my pool green to blue in one day. Just by following your recipe: Triclore and the sulfate. The only thing I did different is that I turned off the pump for 24hours and vacuum out to waste next day since the sulfate works killing the phosphate but also as a flokulant. Now I am refilling about 3inches of water, to put clorine and ph to level. Anyway, now is sparkling..thanks!
THANKS SO MUCH KENNY !!! THIS WAS VERY INFORMATIVE ,FOR A GUY THAT HAS NEVER OWNED A POOL !! YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT ,AND HOPE THIS WILL SOLVE MY ALGEA PROBLEM !! THANKS AGAIN JESSE VIA LAS VEGAS
You’re welcome. I’m gonna be releasing a video on “How to never have a green pool again”. So make sure you watch for it. Or better yet you can turn on your channel notifications my channel so that you know when any of my new videos drop.

Man, thank you. Ive been having to sweep my new pool all the time and couldnt figure out why I was continually having algae. Phosphate remover is on the way and I cant wait to try it.
So glad to hear that. Also if you ever do get algae you may want to watch my video on How I Cleared My Green Pool. th-cam.com/video/XY-BAdBY0zI/w-d-xo.html
I just got a small above ground and I'm having to learn. I cleaned pools for a campground when I was a teenager so I forgot everything lol. I was just wondering why you can't just put a algae eating fish in the pool ? Ha ha ha ha just joking. This is the best channel by far for info direct and to the point. New sub here.
This was very helpful. The house we moved into has many many trees around in the yard. I get way more pollen off of them. And there is a stupid planting area in the screened in lanai. I think I am getting a lot of that in the pool and it is causing the algae. Thanks so much for all the useful information.
Glad to help.
Thank you so much for the info.
Thanks so much I have been battling yellow algae for 2 years I’m going to give this a try
Remember to keep your filter clean and running long enough AND that your other chemicals are in the ideal ranges.
Thank u so much!!! This was such great information! I've had a poor for 2 years and all the chemicals have been so confusing, especially the algaecides!! Thanks again!!!
Pool RX, Phosphate remover chlorine use will crash! Much easier on the skin. Pool people don't want you to know about Pool RX because it puts them out of business!!! Pool RX lasts about 6-months when you can then add a recharge kit. After one year replace the whole unit. Killed all algea even the black hard to kill crap! So Cal with dust, horses nearby so pool maintenance was a night mare until I started the above parsmaters. Simple pool test strip kit, $14 phosphorus test kit, and I use chlorine tabs with cyaranic acid (stabilizes chlorine). Good quality auto pool cleaner and you will spend allot less time messing with your pool and enjoying it more!!!
you are amazing at explaining your info. thank you!!!!
header mcmac so glad it’s helpful.
Thank you for the info. Gonna give it a try. Thank you for good honest advise.

I love you man! 😁 I consider you my pool guru. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏🏻 and this episode is particularly helpful/timely this time of year in Phoenix, with the current heat wave and monsoons about to begin.
Absolutely, thank you for your kind comments and thank you for watching. Yes our monsoons and haboobs are brutal. But to be honest when I used to work for other Pool Service companies. It took the owner sometimes a long time to get any work done on repairs for a pool so in the meantime, if we had a big monsoon storm, the pool was trashed. I have all of my clients pools set up so well that even when we have a big dust storm, they do quite well.

Hello - I really like your videos! I am from CA (now address in Tucson) but live full time on the French Riviera. The algae here is crazy! I took your advise and found these products and ordered them. Hopefully it will help with the problem. Thanks a lot. Barbara
Wonderful. Let me know how it works.
Cyanuric acid level is the x-factor on how to treat algae in the swim season. PR1000 works great in certain situations, and sodium bromide in others. I too am not for killing algae with trace metals. Good info here though! Especially mentioning trichlor shock as most will just use cal hypo all the time.
One of the best knowledge sessions on the WEB
Warren Hawkins that’s very kind of you to say. Thank you.
Omg you are amazing !!! The best on TH-cam
I own a pool cleaning company and agree fully with everything you said but. I know on it's only a small number that will learn this but it still affects the business.
Yes, but less chemicals, the better for the earth. You will just sell more Tri-Chlor & PR-10000. Good for business.

Will do. Glad the channel's helping. Hope you subscribed and please share my channel with others.
Great video, I'd like to point out that algae also needs nitrates and at least trace amounts of iron. but for sure, lanthanum chloride is probably the most cost effective way to reduce phosphates. I'll have to try the PR-1000 you recommend because we are dealing with precipitant issues right now, looks like a pool full of milk :(

great advice - best i've found on the net
Thanks for saying so.
Many thanks for this very informative video! I didn't know any of this so I've been fighting an ongoing battle with algae. It makes perfect sense that if you cut off the food supply, an organism will die but not being aware that the dying organism is producing more food source is what's causing the constant cycle. With the price of pool chemicals these days, I can't afford not to know this!
drumstud4u glad to help.
Use borax look in TH-cam
Excellent information, thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. Especially for skipping the BS. I shocked the pool the first day and added PR-10000-QT Phosphate Remover the second day. The water turned crystal clear in less than a day. Glad I didn't waste money on algaecides. Thanks again.
That's fantastic! Way to go!!! For more money saving tools, tips, links and access to me please check out my website poolschooler.com
I love your videos, so practical and down to earth. As a retired biologist, I would like to make one correction.
Algae as a plant needs several elements to grow, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc. But phosphorus is what we call the limiting factor for plant growth. All other things can be there but without enough phosphorous growth is inhibited. A minor distinction maybe from your point of view. Anyway, thanks for the info, I'm buy some PR-10000 today. Thanks again for your videos.
That is so great to know. I appreciate the education. It really helps me to understand what is actually happening.
He is exactly right. Can you do a video on TDS and it’s affect on pool chemistry.
Mike909ism I have made note of it and it’s on my list of videos. Thanks for the suggestion.
I have been struggling with algea for years.....I feel like my pool has not been crystal clear in 5 yrs....2 of those yrs with paying a pool service...i just spent 60$ on the whole algicide shock method...had monsoon rain in south fl and its green.....tomorrow I'm trying your method and will let you know your reviews are awesome 🤞🏾
