📋 How it works▾

Lo-Chlor Summercare Pool Algaecide is specifically formulated for hot summer conditions — a treatment and prevention algaecide optimised for the peak swimming period when heat, UV and heavy bather loads create the most demanding conditions for algae control.

What sets Summercare apart is its effectiveness across a wide pH range (7.0–8.0). In hot weather, pH tends to drift upward as evaporation concentrates pool water. Many algaecides lose effectiveness as pH climbs — Summercare maintains performance across the full range, making it more reliable during Australian summer conditions.

Lo-Chlor Summercare details

  • Formulated specifically for hot summer weather conditions
  • Effective across a wide pH range (7.0–8.0) — performs even when pH drifts high
  • Treats and prevents both black and green algae
  • Compatible with all pool types and sanitiser systems
  • 1L treats a 50,000L pool at the standard dose

For heated pools running year-round in warmer climates, Lo-Chlor Tropiclear provides a higher-concentration tropical formula. For winter, switch to Lo-Chlor Winteriser for single-dose seasonal protection. Year-round phosphate management with Lo-Chlor Starver M reduces algae pressure across all seasons.

🔍 Does it suit my pool?▾

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

🧂Salt chlorinated▾
✓ Compatible — works with salt systems
Summercare is compatible with salt chlorination systems.
💧Traditional chlorine▾
✓ Compatible — all chlorine systems
Summercare works with all chlorine-based pool systems.
🪨Mineral / magnesium▾
✓ Compatible — all mineral systems
Summercare is safe for all mineral and magnesium pool systems.
⚡Ionised / Nature2▾
⚠ Use with care — consider metal-free alternative
Summercare 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. Apply with pump running. Broadcast around pool edges — never into the skimmer.

🛡 Summer prevention
250 ml
per 50,000 L
Monthly dose through peak summer (Dec–Feb). Increase frequency during heat waves or heavy use.
🟢 Green algae treatment
500 ml
per 50,000 L
Shock dose for visible algae. Super-chlorinate first, then apply after 2 hours.
⚫ Black spot treatment
750 ml
per 50,000 L
Higher dose for black spot. Brush before and after. Wide pH range ensures effectiveness even in summer conditions.
♻ Transition to winter
Switch to Winteriser
at pool close
When autumn arrives and you reduce pump hours, switch to Winteriser for single-dose season coverage.
❓ FAQ▾
Why does pH range matter for algaecides?▾
Most algaecides have an optimal pH window. When pH rises above 7.6 — common in summer as evaporation concentrates the water — some products lose effectiveness. Summercare is formulated to maintain performance from 7.0 to 8.0, giving it a meaningful advantage during Australian summer conditions.
How is Summercare different from Tropiclear?▾
Lo-Chlor Tropiclear is a higher-concentration formula developed specifically for Queensland tropical climates and heated pools. Summercare is optimised for general summer conditions across Australia with its wide pH range advantage. For QLD or heated pools, Tropiclear is stronger. For southern states in summer, Summercare is the right choice.
Can I use Summercare year-round?▾
Yes, though in cooler months you're likely over-treating for the conditions. In winter, switching to Winteriser is more economical — one dose covers the season. Summercare's strengths (heat stability, wide pH range) are most valuable from October through April.
