Poolife Algaekill Extreme
Product Overview
A chelated copper-based algaecide made to clear persistent black, mustard, and green algae blooms.
This 1 QT bottle treats resilient algae types without producing surface foam. Poolife chelates the copper to keep it securely in solution, minimizing staining risks when water parameters are balanced. It works alongside chlorine or bromine sanitizers to knock out established growth. Pick up a bottle today and follow the label instructions to restore clear pool water.

Benefits & What Makes It Different
Chelated Copper Chemistry
Contains 28.94% Copper Ethanolamine Complex, keeping copper dissolved in water to prevent staining while attacking cell structures.
Economical Dosing Profile
Concentrated formula treats established blooms and provides routine prevention directly from a 1 QT bottle.
Broad System Compatibility
Non-foaming copper-based formulation works alongside chlorine, bromine, saltwater cells, ozone, and mineral purification systems.
Product Details
Copper Ethanolamine Complex 28.94% (equivalent to 9.3% metallic copper)
Compatibility
- Compatible with chlorine, bromine, salt chlorine generators, ozone, and mineral systems
- Never pre-mix with other concentrated pool chemicals prior to application
- Maintain pH at 7.2–7.6 and total alkalinity at 80–120 ppm to prevent mineral drop-out
When To Use This
Pro Tip
In hotter climates where high water temperatures accelerate algae cell division, brush black algae vigorously before dosing; breaking the waxy outer shell allows the chelated copper to penetrate the core while chlorine is maintained at 1–3 ppm.
Common Questions & Instructions
Will Poolife Algaekill Extreme cause copper staining on pool surfaces?
Because it relies on a chelated copper-based formulation with 28.94% copper ethanolamine complex, the copper stays suspended in water. As long as you maintain pH between 7.2–7.6 and total alkalinity between 80–120 ppm, the copper will not precipitate out onto plaster or vinyl.
How much Poolife AlgaeKill Extreme should be dosed for severe algae?
Refer to the product label on the container for exact application rates for severe algae treatment and routine prevention, distributing around the pool perimeter with the pump running.
Does this algaecide alter chlorine demand, pH, or cyanuric acid levels?
No. This chemical adds zero cyanuric acid, does not alter calcium hardness, and leaves pH neutral, allowing you to sustain target free chlorine levels of 1–3 ppm without chemical interference.
