Abstract
An interest in the field of algicides for swimming pools has led to a survey of the problems involved in this field. A study of the bactericidal and algicidal properties of some of the chemicals used has been reported (Fitzgerald, 1959) in which it was pointed out that some of the products available show remarkable properties in laboratory tests. The present studies demonstrate how the activity of some chemicals used in swimming pools for algicidal purposes can be affected by the physical and chemical conditions in the swimming pool environment and management. The factors that have been considered are the adsorptive properties of diatomaceous filter media and the precipitation of copper compounds under different conditions in the water. From an understanding of the problems involved in the maintenance of algicidal conditions in swimming pools, it is hoped that the need for the proper application of the excellent algicides available will be appreciated.
