Don’t Let Rain Dampen Your SummerFun At The Pool (NAPSA)—With all of the rain homeowners have had this year, nowis the best time to learn how to keep algae from taking over your swimmingpool. Algae Haul: It can be easy to keep green slime out of your swimming pool. Algae grow in gutters, ponds and other water-holding fixtures surrounding a home. After a rain (or several days of rain), growing algae turns into spores. As the water drains, existing algae spores dry and can be easily blown into your swimming pool, causing the water to become less than attractive. BioGuard, one of the leading manufacturers of pool and spa products, offers these simple tips to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of your swimming pool throughout the swimming season: * Use a program approach to pool care, one that incorporates a weekly preventative algaecide Weekly shock routine to eliminate unwanted contaminants Maintain a good sanitizer level (range) 1-3 ppm By following these three easy steps, you can prevent excessive algae infestation in a year where algae could be a threat all season.
