Lo-Chlor — Algaecides
Algaway Algaecide 1L
3-month protection Long-life formula All algae types Economical
📋 How it works▾

Lo-Chlor Algaway is a long-life pool algaecide designed for prevention and eradication of blue-green, black spot and mustard algae — with a single dose providing up to 3 months of protection, making it one of the most economical algaecides in the Lo-Chlor range.

Algaway's extended-release formulation is ideal for pool owners who want effective algae protection with less frequent dosing. Rather than monthly applications, Algaway's long-life formula stays active in the water column for up to a full quarter, maintaining background protection between seasonal chemical checks.

Lo-Chlor Algaway details

  • Single dose provides up to 3 months of algae prevention
  • Effective against blue-green, black spot and mustard algae
  • Long-life economical formulation — fewer treatments per year
  • Compatible with all pool types and sanitiser systems
  • 1L treats a standard 50,000L pool for a full season

For summer heat or tropical conditions where algae pressure is higher, Lo-Chlor Tropiclear provides a stronger dose with more frequent intervals. For emergency treatment of a green pool, Lo-Chlor Algae Knock-Out is the higher-strength option. For ongoing phosphate control to prevent algae returning, combine Algaway with Lo-Chlor Starver M monthly.

🔍 Does it suit my pool?▾

Select your pool type to confirm this product suits your setup.

🧂Salt chlorinated▾
✓ Compatible — works with salt systems
Algaway is compatible with salt chlorination systems.
💧Traditional chlorine▾
✓ Compatible — all chlorine systems
Algaway works with all chlorine-based pool systems.
🪨Mineral / magnesium▾
✓ Compatible — all mineral systems
Algaway is safe for all mineral and magnesium pool systems.
⚡Ionised / Nature2▾
⚠ Use with care — consider metal-free alternative
Algaway contains copper. In ionised pools that already introduce copper ions, additional copper can cause staining. Use Lo-Chlor Miraclear Metal-Free Algaecide instead.
🏊Fibreglass▾
✓ Compatible — safe for fibreglass
Safe for fibreglass at recommended doses. Ensure pH is 7.2–7.6 before adding.
🧱Concrete / pebblecrete▾
✓ Compatible — particularly effective on black spot
Copper-based algaecides are especially effective against black spot algae on pebblecrete and concrete.
💊 Dosage guide▾

All doses per 50,000L. Broadcast around pool edges with the pump running.

🛡 Seasonal prevention
333 ml
per 50,000 L
Quarterly dose for 3 months of protection. Apply at start of season and reapply every 3 months.
🟢 Green algae treatment
500 ml
per 50,000 L
Shock dose for visible algae. Super-chlorinate first, then apply.
⚫ Black spot treatment
750 ml
per 50,000 L
Higher dose for black or mustard algae. Brush vigorously before and after application.
💧 Small pool / spa
Scale dose
proportionally
Scale dose proportionally to pool volume. 1L is sufficient for a full year on a 50,000L pool at quarterly dosing.
❓ FAQ▾
How does 3-month protection actually work?▾
Algaway uses a long-life formulation that remains active in the water column for an extended period. The active compounds bind to fine particles and surfaces, maintaining a background level of algae inhibition. Consistent chlorine levels and regular filtration support the effectiveness of this extended protection.
Do I still need to use chlorine if I use Algaway?▾
Yes — Algaway is an algaecide, not a sanitiser. Chlorine is still required for disinfection. Algaway works alongside your chlorine routine to specifically target algae.
Is it the same as Pool Algaecide?▾
Lo-Chlor Pool Algaecide uses the original patented formula designed for monthly dosing. Algaway is formulated for quarterly dosing with extended-release properties. Both use copper-based technology, but the formulations differ in their release profiles.
