          Q:How much for a 5,000 gallon pool?
          by|Jun 20, 2022
          4 Answers
          Answer This Question

          A:  Hi LearyJ, We are the manufacturer of Pool Time products. The dose of MAXBlue Algicide required varies on the reason it is being used. For preventative purposes, we recommend an initial dose of 8 ounces per 10,000 gallons (or 4 ounces for your 5,000 gallon pool) followed by weekly preventative doses of 1.5 ounces per 10,000 gallons (or 1 1/2 tablespoons for you 5,000 gallon pool). For treatment of green, mustard or black algae, we recommend 1) add a chlorine shock per use directions and run pump for 1 hour, 2) add 16 ounces per 10,000 (or 8 ounces for your 5,000 gallon pool) algaecide in areas of heaviest algae growth, operate filter and pump for 24 hours, and 3) after 24 hours, brush surfaces. For persistent algae, re-apply after 72 hours. If you have any other questions, please feel free to give our Technical Solutions Team a call at 1-800-252-POOL (7665). Thank you.

                Didn't work for me. Terrible product.
                After more than 24hours my pool spot algie remained the same. The product also clouded my pool. I was trying a new brand and was punished for it, I suppose I'll just stick to Clorox and HTH.

                Hi Alex, We are the manufacturer of Pool Time products. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that your recent experience with our MAXBlue Algicide did not meet your expectations. Based on your description of "spot algae", your pool may have some black algae, which can be difficult to treat as the living organism protects itself from things like chlorine and algicides by coating itself with hard, rough layers. We would love to talk with you and help you troubleshoot your pool's algae problem. Please give us a call at 1-800-252-POOL (7665) for troubleshooting assistance, or if you have other pool care or product questions. We look forward to speaking with you soon. Thank you. PoolTime

                  Product worked great, pool was teal blue and had a lot of small particles that the filter was having a hard time catching. Product had to be mixed into water before adding it to pool at a rate of 2 fluid ounces to 2-3 gallons. Product Back wash filter before use and to allow 48 hours after adding before back washing again. Did this process three times and pool was and still is clear as drinking water.

                  Absolutely waste money! Last time about 6 years ago this Algicide did work in my pool in 24 hours as it was described. This time as I found the algae kept coming back in just about every week, I chose to use this Algicide again. However, I find this Algicide not working anymore. Or, it should be more correctly for me to say NOT working at all! After 24 hours, I actually found the water looking a bit greener than before (I even had the pool brushed and the filter cleaned thoroughly before putting in this Algicide to help). After 48 hours, I found there's absolutely no improvement on the water at all. The water is green (Photo was taken 48 hours after pouring in half bottle of this Algicide as instructed). I had used a couple of times the Algicide 50, which cost cheaper at about $17 and it work. This time, as the algae seems bad and so I thought I needed to spend the $25 on this MaxBlue, which it worked well last time I remember. It's a total waste of money and I wish I had bought the cheaper one, Algicide 50 instead!!

                    I’ve had a serious algae problem this year that chlorine and shock treatment just wasn’t clearing up. This MaxBlue Algaecide killed everything once and for all.

                      This year we opened the pool, only to have "green water". This is part of a 5 step system - step 1 is to test the water (which had low ph)...so steps 2-4 are to get the water balanced - which I did. I then added this product, and the next day - the water was clear.

                      Good algacide
                      While a little expensive, if you use the correct amount for the gallons in your pool, it will last a while. While it does work on green, yellow and back algae, it requires some repeat brushing to get that stubborn black algae to let go from the pool bottom. Nice that it does not foam. Wish it had one of those clear vertical graduated windows on the side of the bottle to help measure how much you are adding. I use this primarily for routine algae control and maintenance, and if I get a serious algae problem, I turn to more powerful Algicide that The Home Depot also sells called Yellow Gone, Model 23502PTM, Internet #202676834, Store SKU #216192. Nice that The Home Depot has both of these products for pool owners.
