Key Fit and Function

  • Fast-Acting Corrective Algaecide – Quickly kills and controls green, yellow, and black algae to restore clear water

  • Designed for Active Algae Problems – Used when algae is present, not for routine weekly prevention

  • Non-Foaming Formula – Safe for pools with water features, spas, and high circulation systems

  • Works Alongside Chlorine – Supports existing sanitation without replacing proper chlorine levels

  • Safe for All Pool Surfaces – Compatible with plaster, pebble, fiberglass, and vinyl pools when used as directed

  • Helps Restore Water Clarity – Eliminates algae that causes cloudiness, discoloration, and slippery surfaces

  • Professional-Grade Treatment – Trusted solution for fast algae knockdown during corrective maintenance

When algae appears, it rarely waits. Green water can develop quickly, yellow algae can cling stubbornly to surfaces, and black algae can take hold deep within porous finishes. Applied Biochemists Algaetrine is a fast-acting pool algaecide designed to kill existing algae quickly and control future growth without staining surfaces or creating foam.

This professional-grade algaecide is commonly used by pool service technicians when immediate algae control is required. Algaetrine works efficiently across multiple algae types, making it a dependable solution for corrective treatments as well as short-term algae management during high-risk conditions.


Why Fast Algae Control Matters

Once algae establishes itself, it consumes sanitizer, clouds water, and places extra strain on filtration systems. Delayed treatment often leads to higher chemical demand and longer recovery times.

Fast algae control matters because it helps:

  • Stop algae growth before it spreads

  • Restore water clarity more quickly

  • Reduce chlorine loss caused by active algae

  • Prevent algae from embedding into pool surfaces

Applied Biochemists Algaetrine is designed for situations where speed and effectiveness matter most.


How Applied Biochemists Algaetrine Works

Algaetrine uses a powerful algaecide formulation that attacks algae cells directly, disrupting their structure and preventing reproduction. This fast-acting chemistry allows visible algae to be controlled quickly when paired with proper brushing and filtration.

Because the formula is non-staining and non-foaming, it can be used confidently in pools with water features, spas, and high circulation without leaving residue or discoloration behind.


When to Use Applied Biochemists Algaetrine

Algaetrine is best used in corrective or rapid-response scenarios, including:

  • Active green, yellow, or black algae outbreaks

  • Cloudy or green water conditions

  • After heavy rain, extreme heat, or neglect

  • Pools with sudden sanitizer loss

  • Spot treatment alongside brushing and shock

While highly effective for fast control, Algaetrine is often paired with a preventative algaecide program for long-term algae resistance.


Compatibility with Pool Systems & Surfaces

Applied Biochemists Algaetrine is safe for use in most standard pool environments. It is compatible with chlorine pools and professionally managed systems.

It can be used on plaster, pebble, fiberglass, and vinyl-lined pools and works with cartridge, sand, and DE filters. When used according to label directions, it will not foam, stain, or interfere with normal pool operation.


Professional-Grade Corrective Treatment

Algaetrine is formulated for technicians who need rapid algae knockdown, not slow preventative control. Its strength makes it ideal for pools that need to recover quickly from visible algae problems.

Because it acts fast, proper brushing, circulation, and filtration should always accompany treatment to fully remove dead algae and restore clarity.


Application & Treatment Best Practices

For best results, visible algae should be brushed prior to application to expose growth to treatment. Algaetrine should be added to circulating water and allowed to distribute evenly throughout the pool.

Filtration should run continuously during treatment, and dead algae should be removed through vacuuming or backwashing as needed. Maintaining proper sanitizer levels after treatment helps prevent recurrence.

Always follow manufacturer label instructions for dosing and safety.

In most of all circumstances, this works
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
For Summer time and when playing and working in the sun, this is my go to sunscreen! I love how it is more natural than all the other ones out there. I have been sort of a spray on sunscreen connoisseur and this is the one that is my favorite. Also, if I have gotten a burn and put this on it, I believe it helps start the healing process on the burn I got. This is at least what I experienced multiple times last year. The only circumstance that this sunscreen fails miserably is in the Caribbean. I recently went on a cruise to that region and applied this sunscreen and it became evident that this and the other brands of spray on sunscreen do not work in Caribbean sun. The only sunscreen that works is the lotion based stuff that you rub into your skin. I have also consulted with friends on spray on sunscreen in the Caribbean and they all fail as well. So, this is why I say that it works in almost every circumstance.

spray nozzle needs work.
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I purchased 3 of these cans. Only one of them worked and that one was ok. Sprayed well, smelled good and and protected my skin and even though it was hard to press it to work, we WERE able to use it, but the other three .............? They would not rotate to the unlock position, therefore they would not spray. My husband and I tried everything to get it to rotate. It seems both the top and bottom ring spin around effectively doing nothing. So to pay almost $40 for only one can to work is definitley not worth the money. Buy somewhere else.

Great product! Highly recommend! Worth the money
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Our family absolutely loves Alba sunscreen! It’s light, not super greasy, and smells really good. Everytime I see it on sale, I buy more of it! My husband is a red head, and he has to wear sunscreen all the time, and he prefers Alba brand over any others. Great Product!

Like the sunscree - not the spray can
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Sunscreen itself did a great job with our snorkeling and scuba diving. Long lasting and didn't rub off in spots where masks and other things can leave spots unprotected. However, the spray can itself was difficult. Even when being sure it was completely in the unlocked position, it would take me two thumbs at full pressure to get it started spraying at times. Definitely, only a couple of us in the party were the appliers as we could get it started.

Love it! Eco-friendly and Easy-to-Use Spray
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I really like the Alba Botanicals Coconut Clear Spray! Not only does it give me a refreshing coconutty vibe, but it’s also biodegradable and cruelty-free, which is important to me. 🐰♻️ The spray-on application is a breeze, and I love how it doesn’t leave that annoying greasy feeling on my skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished. Perfect for those sunny beach days or any time I need a quick spritz of hydration. I highly recommend this coconut clear spray to everyone who values eco-friendly choices and easy-to-use skincare products.
