The Best Algaecide for Your Budget

Not all algaecides are equal.

The right one could save you, on average $180 to $200 a year.

Sodium tetraborate is the technical name for an algaecide that removes carbon dioxide, a food source for algae. This algaecide is great because the initial dose is approximately $200, and yearly maintenance is only $40.

One of the extra benefits of a sodium tetraborate algaecide is that it also works as a water softener. You won't have dry skin or brittle hair after swimming. When you get out of your pool, the water will actually sheen off of your body!
