7. Step-by-Step: Nana’s Algae Hack
-
Test your water. Ensure the pool’s pH and alkalinity are balanced for best results.
-
Calculate pool volume. Use about 1 quart (32 oz) of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10,000 gallons of water.
-
Add the peroxide. Pour it directly into the pool, distributing it evenly across the surface.
-
Run the filter. Let the filtration system run for at least 5 minutes to circulate the water and clear out dead algae.
-
Check results. Your pool should start looking clearer almost immediately. If needed, repeat the treatment or slightly adjust the dose.
