Algae can be a persistent problem in swimming pools, and many pool owners resort to harsh chemicals to combat it. However, if you prefer a more eco-friendly and chemical-free approach, using copper pipe is a fantastic alternative. Copper has long been recognized for its algaecidal properties, and in this video, we'll show you how to harness its power.

Wow, this is a no cost for any DYI guy. Going to give this a try a the pool chemicals are outrageously high cost and the pool supply stores got you hooked before you walk in the door. Thank you for the tip. 🤠

@keithbergen2987 Год назад

Thanks Jay! Watching your video saved me $$$ - didn’t have to buy the copper anti algae thing from the pool supply store!

@rayv43 Год назад

Why does that work? Do you have a results video too?

@jackcarvis3668 Год назад

Before you do this search copper in pool water. Its something about turning hair green. I never did it so I could be wrong

@NavyVet_ET1 Год назад

Why not just put a copper piece in strainer? Why go through all this trouble if it is copper that does the job? Would like to see follow up video on what the pool looks like now and what your copper piece looks like?

@ThePhoEater 5 месяцев назад

He wanted to protect his basket from getting slowly dinged by the copper which is a harder material.

@billl1127 Месяц назад

I coiled up a 4' piece of copper pipe and placed in strainer basket two weeks ago. So far, results are inconclusive.

Let me know what happens

@fettcartel5569 Год назад

Clever tip. I think you're in FL right? Have you seen this manage mustard algae all summer long? Thanks!

@LuisPerez-vy6bz 10 месяцев назад

Has anyone tried this out and did it work? Looks way too simple, yet brilliant if indeed turns out to be a solid and simple fix to eliminating algae from pools. Thanks for sharing the video Sir.

@JHTC 10 месяцев назад

Well, I did have to use some extra copper. I had some copper elbows and butt joints available. I used about 8 extra pieces in the basket and it did solve the problem. My pool is approximately 20,000 gallons. This will work for above ground pools.

@nikkissic 6 месяцев назад

Yes, I do it every year and it works great. Crystal clear water

@tinalconnell3554 Месяц назад

Remember to clean your copper with vinegar and salt occasionally to keep it clean and working

@JHTC Месяц назад

Good tip!

@robburton3255 Месяц назад

Ok, maybe I overdid it, but it works...at least for me. I had a horrible time with algae prior to this. I took a copper pipe, cut about 60 pieces about 1 1/4" long. I took about a 3 1/2 feet 1/4" copper tubing and slid 30 pipe pieces onto the tubing and secured the ends so they wouldn't come off. I coiled all this small enough to fit into the pump basket. I did the same thing in the skimmer basket. This was about 3 weeks ago and my pool has never been cleaner. I just keep 3" chlorine tabs in my floaty and add a gallon of chlorine ever week. Its the hottest time of year, right now. I'm going to slowly cut back on the chlorine, to find out how low I can go. I've made the same contraptions for some buddies and they put them in their pools...about a week ago. Still waiting on results. I believe the copper is supposed to kill invertebrates. Anyway, long story short, it worked for me in my 30,000 gallon pool.

So Happy it helped.

@fizixx Год назад

Not enough explanation, sorry. So, it's the copper that's reacting with the water? Why the pvc? Why the copper inside the pvc? Can this be used in a small pond with animal life and not be toxic?

@fizixx Год назад

@RussianGirlShowPanties I missed it! Ok, will give it a listen again, thanks.

@jamesm8360 2 месяца назад

Look up copper sulfate for ponds! And it's uses! Can also be used in pool!

@robertwadas Месяц назад

Just use crystal Copper Sulfate in Strainer. 1/4 cup in a mesh or nylon sock. We use in in our pond. Safe for everything. Also in pool, you never need any other chemicals, no chlorine.

@julieyamamoto5032 Год назад

How can you do this for an above ground pool?

@russellmuscle7434 4 месяца назад

@Mr.Swede...69 Год назад

@JHTC Месяц назад

Mustard algae is different from green algae. I have black algae in my pool that I have brush off the top with a steel wire brush and shock my pool with chlorine.

Nope mix 3 tablespoons with warm water in a gal jug. Shake till dissolved, poor into skimmer basket when pump is running or into jet stream return to pool!

Cooper is a natural algacid. It kills alge.
