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.

Perfect size and weight with compact size
Style: Rack with 3 Pairs (3, 5, and 8 Pound)
I purchased the Amazon Basics Neoprene Dumbbell Hand Weights specifically for Pilates, and they’ve been a great addition to my routine. The size and weight are perfect for controlled movements, helping with muscle toning without feeling too bulky or awkward. The neoprene coating gives them a comfortable, non-slip grip, which is especially important during longer sessions or when your hands get a little sweaty. They feel secure and easy to hold through a full workout. I also like the shape—they don’t roll around on the floor, which makes transitions between exercises smoother and less frustrating. They’re compact enough to store easily but still feel durable and well-made. Overall, these are a simple, affordable, and effective option for Pilates or light strength training. I’d definitely recommend them for anyone looking to add a little resistance to their workouts without overcomplicating things.

Good purchase
Style: 3 Pound, Pair
These are just the right weight for me to start gaining muscle back in my arms, after a large weight loss. They are of good quality, they are covered in a nice rubber like coating that is soft to the touch. They are small enough that i can take them with me when I travel. My dog has got hold of them a couple times and played with them, and they held up just fine without any damage.

Solid, grippy, and they don’t roll away!
Style: 10 Pound, Pair
I bought these because I’m finally trying to build a consistent home workout routine and didn't want to drop a fortune on name-brand weights. I’ve been using this 10lb pair for about a month now for everything from overhead presses to lunges, and honestly, they’re exactly what I was looking for. The Pros: • That Neoprene Grip: The coating is fantastic. Even when my hands get pretty sweaty halfway through a workout, I don’t feel like I’m going to drop them. It’s a much "softer" feel than cold metal or hard plastic. • The Hex Shape: This is a small detail that makes a huge difference. Since the ends are hexagonal, they don't roll across the floor when I set them down between sets. They also stay put if I’m using them for "renegade rows" or floor work. • Compact Size: They aren’t bulky. I can easily shove them under my bed or in the corner of the closet when I’m done. • No Weird Odor: I was worried they might smell like a tire factory (which happens with some rubber-coated weights), but these had almost no scent right out of the box. The Cons: • Handle Diameter: The handles are a little on the thicker side. I have medium-sized hands and it’s fine, but if you have very small hands, they might feel a bit chunky to wrap your fingers all the way around. • Color Scuffs: The navy blue looks great, but if you clank them together or drop them on concrete, the coating can scuff or show dust pretty easily. The Verdict: If you just need a reliable set of weights for HIIT, Pilates, or general strength training, these are a no-brainer. You're basically getting gym-quality equipment for a fraction of the price. I’ll probably be back for the 15lb set in a few months!

Great Water Bottle!
Color: Off Road, Size: 30 Ounces
I was looking for an insulated water bottle that would actually fit in a standard cup holder. I decided to try the Owala FreeSip Sway Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle. Upon receiving it, I noticed that it felt solid in my hand. The mechanism worked very smoothly with a simple button press opening the lid. Once open, you can choose to either use the included straw or tip the bottle and drink from the chug spout. In addition to it fitting in my cup holder, I needed it to be leak proof. This bottle is leak proof, and the spout can be locked by engaging a lock in the back. The rugged flip handle is also a convenient way to carry the Owala when it's not in the water bottle holder on my backpack. I hand wash the body of the bottle, but the top disassembles easily and can go right in the dishwasher when I want a deep cleaning. The bottle has a wide opening, so it is very easy to clean the inside. This has quickly become my favorite water bottle due to its ease of cleaning, good insulation, ability to fit in my cup holder, solid construction and materials, and the option of using the straw or chug spout. I have the 30 ounce bottle, but I am going to be picking up a 40 ouncer also. You won't regret purchasing one! I have used the bottle for a couple of weeks now, and here are my observations: It has gone on two camping trips, and it has proven to be durable. I have placed the Owala on its side on my passenger seat (just to test it...it fits perfectly in my car's cup holder!). It did not leak a single drop on a long road trip. On my camping trip, the water in the bottle was still ice cold the next morning, so it keeps cold beverages very cold!
