Great alge solver, May 28, 2009
By DoubleD09 from Mpls, MN

Pros: Works fast
Cons: You have to Shock the pool 3 times

"Tried this product because when I opened the pool was a swamp. I was shocked how fast it worked and it turned my pool from green to gray with in 20 min. Just make sure you have enough shock because you need to shock your pool 3 times. I agree with other people you also need to use a clarifier to clear it up. I will use this product again. I have recommend it to all my friends a family who have a alge problem with their pool."

Clears up persistent algae, May 16, 2009
By awarnberg from Phenix City, AL

Pros: Performed where others failed, Long Shelf Life

"After battling algae problems for two weeks, I gave in & took a water sample to a major retail pool supply store for analysis. I ended up buying over $200 worth of problem solving chemicals, only to discover 72 hours later that I basically spent that money to raise the PH as the algae was still present after all the "Steps" were followed. At wit's end I was looking in my storage shed for anything to help and found an old jar of Yellow Out, used it per label directions and in 24 hours my pool was finally blue. I still had to use a conditioner to remove the cloudiness, but at least it was blue!

The key here is to make sure the PH is balanced."

I did this and still a green pool. I got this yellow out put it in and in 8 hours my pool was clear, I can not say enough good things about this product."

Finaly something that works, June 8, 2008
By Bonjour from SC

Pros: Amazing results
Cons: Absolutly none

"We (or a friend) brought mustard algae from the lake. I spent hundreds of dollars on other chemicals in the past 3 years to get reed of the algae but it kept coming back a couple times per year, especially when we forgot to run the Polaris for a week. I tried every algaecide I could find in the stores and pool supplies companies. That's when I sent an email to ask what product would work best for my well water, salt system inground vinyl pool. Yellow out is just fantastic, It killed mustard algae overnight like nothing I tried before, with less than 2 pounds of it! Hopefully it is gone for good! Untill somebody brings some from the lake again.
Tip: Make sure you ask anybody ready to swim in your pool if they used their bathing suit in a pond, lake, river, sea etc... and if they washed their suit since. That's how we ended up with mustard algae in the first place.
Great product, Thanks."

Finally!!!, November 9, 2007
By davenkim from Texas

Pros: Very effective with no scrubbing!
Cons: something lowered the ph...

"I used this in combination with the Algaecide 60 plus & had wonderful results! We have been combatting algae all summer & the pool stores were out of solutions! I put this & the Algaecide 60 in and within one day had a beautiful sparkly pool. It did cause a massive need for chlorine all of a sudden. We usually check our combined chlorine levels as well as free chlorine & our tests indicated that we needed chlorine levels of around 50 to burn everything out! After a ton of shock, we finally started seeing some free chlorine coming back! Also, our ph dropped at some point, so be prepared with some bicarb :-) However, all of our levels are back to normal & our pool is beautiful!"

Great stuff, September 27, 2007
By CindyR

"I am meticulous about the chemical balance in my pool. Even though everything was exactly as it should be, I was still having a problem with yellow algae appearing on the walls. Brushing it everyday would just cause the water to be temporarily cloudy, but the next day the walls would be getting blotchy yellow again. I used Yellow Out and the algae was gone."

This is a must-have!, August 26, 2007
By poolgirl2007

Pros: Yellow Out cleared my pea-green pool within 24 hours. No other algecide made a difference but this worked immediately.

"After pouring chemical after chemical into my pool I tried Yellow Out. Within 24 hours my pea-green pool was clear! This product worked when all kinds of algecide would not touch the problem. I will be ordering a supply to keep on hand at all times."

Wow!!!, August 24, 2007
By angie0523

Pros: Worked Super Quick
Cons: Need to use with chlorine shock

"I really could not beleive how fast this worked! Cleared a totally geen 18x33 above ground pool in LESS that 24 hours. You will need to add clarifier to get the cloudiness out. Well worth the money."

Best Algae killer, August 9, 2007
By loopy

Pros: Works well

"This has been the best algae removing product we have used. It works very well in our 24' round above ground pool at the beginning of the season. It only takes 24 hours to show great results that last for weeks. We would definitley use this again."

Good Idea, June 26, 2007
By SouthernGal

Pros: Works great
Cons: Does not clarify as well as expected

"I bought this after putting $200 into the pool with no good out come. I dropped this in and by the next morning the pool was blue again. I still have issues with the cloudyness of the water but it is not green anymore and I can get in the water. This is worth while to buy."
