Metallic copper equivalent 7.00% contains 0.75 lbs of elementall copper per gallon. my ladder has a copper film. should i not use this algaecide anymore? will i have to manuraly clean the pool ladder
Ideally, you wouldn’t be using a copper algaecide continuously. A properly balanced pool should prevent algae. Could you post the current chemical levels of your pool water? This would include free chlorine, available chlorine, pH, stabilizer (CYA), alkalinity, and calcium.
I would clean the ladder off manually and then add some metal control to the water.
