INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Brush daily for a week with the proper brush for your pool, paying special attention to algae-affected areas. The protective layer that forms on black algae makes the algae otherwise impervious to regular sanitizers, so you must brush the algae to break through this layer so that chlorine and algaecides can kill the organism. Black algae have deep roots that work their way into the walls, grout, and filters in your pool. If the roots aren't destroyed, the organism will continue to grow back. Try rubbing the algae spots with a chlorine tablet after brushing. After brushing the pool for the first time, add a copper-based algaecide that has an active ingredient concentration of at least 30 percent. Aim the water return jets at the affected areas. After the algaecide has run its course, shock the pool. Continue your daily brushing, and after three days, shock the pool again. This will remove the dead algae and any debris that has settled on the bottom of the pool. To remove larger quantities of deal algae, consider adding an alum flocculant, which will cause the material to clump together for easier removal. Black algae can not only clog the filtration system and make it less efficient, but spores can also hide in the filters and bloom again when you least expect it. Wash all bathing suits and towels in the washing machine, and dry them in the dryer to kill any algae that may have attached to the fabric. Sanitize pool equipment and toys by scrubbing them with a bleach-based cleanser. You should do this regularly, but especially if you have recently adjusted the chemical levels of the pool.

SUMMARY: Brush the pool. Add algaecide to the water. Shock the pool. Vacuum the pool. Clean and sanitize filters, equipment, and toys. Test the water.
