Description

The Zodiac Pool Blackspot Remover 1kg is a concentrated treatment designed to tackle stubborn blackspot algae growing on suitable swimming pool surfaces.

Blackspot can be particularly difficult to remove because it develops a protective outer membrane that makes normal pool sanitising treatments less effective. Zodiac Pool Blackspot Remover combines a high available-chlorine concentration with a slow-dissolving formula, allowing it to be applied directly to affected areas after thorough brushing.

It is designed for use on pebblecrete, white plaster and suitable tiled pool surfaces and is ideal when ordinary pool maintenance isn't getting on top of established blackspot.

Why Choose Zodiac Pool Blackspot Remover?

Blackspot algae isn't the same as the light green algae that can sometimes appear after heavy rain or when pool chemistry gets out of balance.

It can attach firmly to porous pool surfaces and develop a protective layer that makes it difficult for sanitiser to penetrate.

Zodiac Pool Blackspot Remover is specifically formulated for targeted blackspot treatment. The key to successful treatment is thoroughly brushing the affected area first to break through the protective membrane before applying the product.

Why Is Blackspot Algae So Difficult to Remove?

One of the reasons blackspot algae can be so frustrating is the protective membrane that develops over it.

Simply adding more sanitiser to the pool may not be enough to reach the algae underneath.

That's why brushing is such an important part of blackspot treatment.

Zodiac recommends thoroughly brushing the affected areas before treatment. Breaking through that outer layer allows the treatment to reach the blackspot more effectively.

Target the Problem Area Directly

Unlike a general pool sanitiser that's simply added to the entire body of water, Zodiac Blackspot Remover can be placed directly onto affected areas.

This makes it particularly useful when blackspot is concentrated in particular sections of a suitable pool surface.

Zodiac recommends turning the filtration system off during treatment and placing the product directly onto the affected area. If blackspot is widespread, professional advice may be required.

How to Use Zodiac Pool Blackspot Remover

Before treatment, identify the affected areas and make sure your pool surface is suitable for this product.

Thoroughly brush the blackspot to help break its protective membrane.

For widespread or particularly persistent blackspot, consider seeking professional pool advice rather than repeatedly treating isolated areas.

FAQ's

What does Zodiac Pool Blackspot Remover do?

It is designed to treat stubborn blackspot algae on compatible swimming pool surfaces.

Does Blackspot Remover kill blackspot algae?

The product is specifically formulated by Zodiac as a blackspot treatment. For effective treatment, Zodiac stresses the importance of thoroughly brushing the affected area to break the algae's protective membrane before application.

Can I use Zodiac Blackspot Remover in a fibreglass pool?

No. Zodiac advises that the product should not be used on surfaces other than pebblecrete, white plaster and tiled pools because bleaching may occur. Zodiac also notes that blackspot is highly unlikely to grow on fibreglass because of its non-porous surface.
