Great starter cleaning set for the pool. Helps with my black algae.

I have been dealing with black algae spots along one side of my small/medium pool for 7 months. The plaster on the pool is more than 25 years old and it is fading. This is adding to the algae problem. I have tried various types of algaecide. Even tried the Pool Rx which did nothing against the black algae. I have been using a combination of Phosphate remover and scrubbing the black spots with 3 inch trichlor chlorine tablets. This has helped reduce and keep the algae from spreading but the algae is mostly still there.The first two products from this starter set I tired were the algaecide and a bag of the pool shock. The algaecide has a copper complex that may be similiar to the one in the pool Rx. I believe the combination of the copper complex and the pool shock has helped to reduce the black algae spots. I'm waiting to use the other cleanering products after another round of the algaecide and shock. I really like that the larger bottles have a see through slit to see how much is left in the bottle along with some measurements next to it. This alone makes things so much easier. The only issue I have so far is the test strips. There's only ten in the bottle and it's really hard to read the text on the side of the bottle to figure out which color boxes are for what chemicals. So far this is a great starter set for the price listed. The algaecide and the 2 bags of chlorine shock are the standouts. Great product that saves you time and money. You don't have to order and buy separate products. Just get this one.

Great little kit, everything you could need

These supplies worked really well and contained everything I needed to get it ready for my kiddos this summer.

Comprehensive pool-opening kit. Didn’t like the algicide and didn’t use the scale and stain fluid.

This kit contains just about everything needed to open a pool after its winter recess. I’m not sure if there’s any cost saving in buying this kit, but it certainly has the convenience of supplying everything in a single order. Note that this kit is meant to be used just for opening the pool and not for maintenance throughout the season.The kit comprises 6 different items:2lb Shock. I found that I needed more shock (4 bags) to open my 11,000 gallon pool, so I had to get more than supplied.32oz Algicide. This was copper-based and the bottle had a heavy sediment of copper at the bottom. I wasn’t pleased to see this tipped into the pool.32oz Clarifier. This worked really well and there was enough in this bottle to last a season.16oz Pool Starter. I’m not sure what this did but I used it anyway.32oz Stain and Scale. My pool looked fairly clean so I didn’t use this.10x Test Strips. Just enough to get the pool going.I think this is a reasonable kit. I didn’t like the look of the algicide, and I didn’t use the stain and scale product, so I feel more inclined in future to shop around for individual pool chemicals. I’m fortunate that there are several stores in my area selling pool supplies. If there weren’t, a kit like this would have been a great option.
