Swimgo Algaecide destroys and prevents the growth of algae, leaving
the pool water
safe and sparkling. Before swimming activity, Swimgo Algaecide should
always be used
and a suitable bactericide which is approved for pool use must be
added or, for example,
Granular Pool Chlorine (Calcium Hypochlorite) or Liquid Chlorine
(Sodium Hypochlorite).
NOTE: Swimgo Algaecide should not be used as a substitute for normal
chemical treatment
but rather as a supplement. The required amount of Swimgo Algaecide
should be poured
evenly into the pool. RLP APPROVED
