I am getting ready to close my pool and the water is still a little above 60.
I have two gallons of "Aquamate" algaecide that says "5% Algaecide" and has 5% n-Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride. TFP recommends PolyQuat 60, but I was wondering if I could just use this stuff instead. PolyQuat 60 seems to be hard to come by in this area right now, and I need to close the pool this week no matter what.
I've seen posts here where people consider the algaecide an option, but I did use PolyQuat 60 last year and opened to a nice clear pool, so I'd opt for using at least SOME kind of algaecide. Do I need to get some PolyQuat or will this stuff do the trick? The label says to add 1 gal for 20k gal pool at closing. This stuff has been around for about 2yrs in my basement. Should I double the dose and just dump both gallons in there?
Thanks!
