Algon Metal Free Algaecide is ideal for pool owners wanting a non-metallic, copper-free solution for controlling algae. Developed using a polymer-based formula, it delivers effective, long-lasting algae control without the risks associated with metal-based products.

By avoiding copper and metals, Algon Metal Free helps prevent staining while providing reliable performance, making it a practical alternative to traditional copper algaecides.

Product features:

  • Polymer-based, metal-free algaecide
  • Copper-free formulation with no staining risk
  • Suitable for regular algae control
  • Provides long-lasting algae prevention
  • Safe for all pool surfaces and equipment

Product benefits:

  • Controls algae without adding metals to pool water
  • Helps prevent surface staining and discolouration
  • Maintains clear, balanced pool water
  • Ideal for pools sensitive to copper build-up
  • Trusted alternative to copper-based algaecides

For best results:

  1. Adjust pool water pH to between 7.0 and 7.8 (7.0–7.2 if algae is severe)
  2. Brush pool walls and vacuum visible algae to waste where possible
  3. Add Algon Metal Free according to the dosage on the bottle, applying evenly around the pool edges with the filter running (do not add via the skimmer)
  4. If the pool has been superchlorinated, wait 24 hours before adding the product
  5. After 24 hours, brush pool walls and floor, then vacuum any settled algae
  6. If algae persists, lower the pH and repeat treatment if required

Important notes:

  • Can be used in ponds at the same dosage
  • Do not use in ponds or water features containing fish
