Can algae make me or my family ill?

Algae itself does not make people ill, however, algae can harbor disease-causing organisms which can cause illness.  Algae on the pool surface can make it dangerously slippery.  To avoid these problems it is best to prevent algae growth by using an algaecide.  We stock a wide variety of algaecides.

I only get algae in certain areas of the pool, why?

This is most likely as a result of poor circulation within your the pool.  This means that not all your water is being sanitized.  Places where the water does not circulate well are called "dead spots." To eliminate these dead spots you could install eyeball fittings in your return lines to move water to those dead spots.
