Shop Hot Tub Algaecide by What Your Hot Tub Needs

Green film on the waterline, slick spots, water that looks fine at night and cloudy by morning. That is usually algae getting a foothold. Hot tub algaecide works as backup to your sanitizer, not a replacement for it. 

Algaecide for Routine Prevention

A spa-safe hot tub algaecide adds a second layer of defense for tubs that run under a loose cover or go unused for a week at a time. Check that the label names spas or hot tubs, since some pool formulas are not made for water that stays near 100 degrees.

Algaecide for Outdoor Hot Tubs

Adding a hot tub algaecide during the sunny season gives you extra protection between sanitizer checks. Browse All Hot Tub Chemicals to pair it with the right sanitizer.

Non-Foaming and Spa-Safe Formulas

Using the wrong algaecide often causes foaming. Certain algaecides can produce foam when the jets are running, and metal-based ones may stain acrylic and clog your filter. Read the label, match the algaecide to your sanitizer, and add it only as directed.

Treating an Active Algae Bloom

Green water or slimy walls call for more than algaecide. Scrub the shell and the underside of the cover, raise sanitizer with Hot Tub Shock, and clean or swap the filter from our Hot Tub Filter Cartridges collection. 

Test and Balance to Keep Algae Out

Most spa owners want a pH between 7.2 and 7.8, where sanitizer works best. Browse Hot Tub Water Testing and Hot Tub Water Balancing to catch problems before the water changes color.

Cleaning and Maintenance Supplies

A dirty cover, a clogged filter, and biofilm in the plumbing give algae places to hide. Regular cleaning removes them. Use Hot Tub Water Clarifiers for cloudy water after treatment.

Hot Tub Algae Control FAQs

It slows algae growth in spa water and supplements your sanitizer. It does not replace chlorine or bromine, and it will not clear a bloom on its own.

Yes, you can use pool algaecide if the label says it is safe for spas. Pool and spa formulas can differ in strength and foaming. Pool owners can browse our Pool Algaecide collection.

A steady sanitizer level does most of the work. Algaecide is extra protection for spas that get sun, sit idle, or see uneven sanitizer levels. See All Hot Tub Chemicals for sanitizer options.

Look for green or cloudy water, slippery surfaces, and a musty smell. Slimy buildup in the plumbing can be biofilm rather than algae, and it needs cleaning and fresh sanitizer.
