and oxygen (O₂), releasing reactive oxygen species that effectively destroy organic matter, including algae.
This oxygenation process not only kills algae but also improves overall water clarity—making hydrogen peroxide an environmentally friendly and pool-safe solution.

Test your water. Ensure the pool’s pH and alkalinity are balanced for best results.
Calculate pool volume. Use about 1 quart (32 oz) of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10,000 gallons of water.
Add the peroxide. Pour it directly into the pool, distributing it evenly across the surface.
Run the filter. Let the filtration system run for at least 5 minutes to
