One thing you will learn is algaecide is rarely if ever needed if one maintains proper FC levels. Since I started with BBB all I have ever used is bleach.
Borax does have algae-controlling properties and many users report positive results.
No typo.
Boraxo and 20 mule team both used to be made by US Borax back when I was a kid and there were no computers or electricity! (But at least we had Mods--the British ones, and Hippies!) :fro: :colors:
Now Boraxo hand soap http://www.boraxo.com/
and 20 Mule Team Borax (which is the stuff you WANT to use in your pool ) http://www.20muleteamlaundry.com/index.cfm?page_id=56
are made by Dial.
Remember, you STILL need to keep your water balanced so you still need to follow the recommendations in Pool School (link in the upper right corner of the page).
