Algae on the Solar Cover

[Leehicks79]

I assume the spray mixture is to be used once the cover is OFF the pool?

No. Polyquat is 100% pool compatible -- use it with the over on, OR off.

Got the polyquat from LPS. They had the same recommendation as you for the algae on the cover. They also suggested using 3-6oz after every rain. It has rained here off and on for over a week. What is your recommendation concerning this? I put 4 oz in yesterday (first treatment of the season). Had used only bleach since opening three weeks ago.

I don't think it's an exact science; try either my recommendations or theirs -- if it works, it works. If it doesn't, increase the dose or the frequency.
