    You can if you want, but it is not necessary. I never add algaecide to my pool. If you do decide to do so, the only algaecide we recommend is Polyquat 60%.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Guess I might have been getting bored not having to work against myself since dumping bioguard.

    It's not needed, even for closing and/or opening a pool?

    It is certainly fine to use it. But, not necessary. I never use it in my pool.
