Product details

This is a 50% quat algaecide from Biolab, supplied in a 1 quart container. It is an algaecide: it is there to kill algae in the pool and to keep it from taking hold again.

What quat means

Quat is shorthand for quaternary ammonium compound, one of the long established families of pool algaecide. Quats are non metallic, which is the practical point for most owners: unlike a copper based product, there is no metal going into the water with it.

Reading the 50 percent

The 50% on the label is the concentration of the active ingredient in the bottle. It is a strength figure, not a dose, and it should not be read as any guide to how much to add.

The one habit worth having

Quat algaecides are known for foaming when too much of them ends up in the water. Nothing about that is exotic, it is simply how the chemistry behaves, and it is easy to avoid by staying inside what the container label allows. Read the label that comes with your bottle before you open it, and let it set the amounts.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What kind of algaecide is this?
A quat algaecide. Quat is short for quaternary ammonium compound, one of the common non metallic algaecide chemistries.
Does it contain copper?
No. Quats are not copper based, so this is not a metallic algaecide.
Does 50% mean how much to add?
No. The 50% is the concentration of active ingredient in the container. It says nothing about dosing.
How much do I add to my pool?
Go by the label on the container you receive. That label is the dosing authority for this product and it is the instruction to follow. One thing worth knowing before you pour: quat algaecides foam if overdosed, so do not exceed what the label allows.
