Hi Dave,
The product I use is called Poly60 and is made by Seaboard. I don't think there's a polyquat called hth. HTH is a manufacturer.
Since you can't find Poly60 I'd use the 40 but more of it.

I live in Canada and I haven't been able to find a Polyquat product called hth.
I understand that it is a liquid algicide and that it is recommended as a product to help prevent algicide from forming in your pool.
This product contains:
60%
poly oxyethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene dichloride according to Ben's page:
http://www.poolsolutions.com/gd/polyquat.html
There are a number of liquid algicide for sale in my area. I have been able to find these products... would you recommend one over the other.
Bioguard's Algae ERASE
3.3% Elemental Copper with polcarboxylate and polyhydroxy acid stabilizers
OR
Poolcare SUPER Algae Kill 40%
poly oxyethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene dichloride
This has the same elements as the polyquat Ben recommends but only at 40% strength.
Which product would be better to use, and at 40% is it strong enought to do the job.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Dave

Don't use a copper-based algeacide, as you will be asking for more troubles!
Like Anna said, the 40 would be your best bet.
Are you having a problem that makes you think you need the polyquat? or are you planning ahead for closing your pool for winter?

but alas, no pool... yet!
Here's a link (of many similar ones) to a less than 60% poly:
