Algaecide 60 1 qt Bottle
Product Overview
A proven choice for preventative algae control in pools with attached spas or water features where foaming is a concern.
Regal Algaecide 60 is a concentrated, non-metallic polyquat formula designed to prevent green, black, and mustard algae without the risk of staining or foaming. This 1 qt bottle contains 60% active ingredient, making it the standard specification for technicians who need a reliable preventative that won't interfere with water chemistry or salt chlorine generators. Unlike copper-based alternatives, it is safe for all pool surfaces and won't cause unsightly metal deposits.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
60% Polyquat Concentration
This high-strength formula provides effective algae prevention and kill rates without the foaming issues common in lower-grade quat algaecides.
Non-Metallic Formula
Because it contains no copper or other metals, this algaecide will not stain pool finishes or turn blonde hair green during treatment.
Salt System Compatible
It reliably handles algae prevention in saltwater pools without affecting the performance or lifespan of the salt chlorine generator cell.

Pro Tip
In hot climates like Arizona or Florida, high evaporation rates can concentrate minerals; using a non-metallic algaecide like this prevents adding to the metal load that often leads to scaling and staining.
Common Questions & Instructions
