Regal supplies it for pools up to 80,000 L and describes it as a quick and easy way to start up a pool. The same three chemicals do the job in reverse in the fall, which is why it is sold as an opening \u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e closing kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuying it as a kit is the point. These are the three products people most often forget to pick up separately, and the ones that cost the most to skip — a winter of algae or a scale line at the tile is a far more expensive spring than a bottle of algaecide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e3e6e9;margin-top:22px\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-top:1px solid #e3e6e9\" open\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:14px 2px;font-weight:600;font-size:15px;color:#10202D\"\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding:0 2px 18px\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.65\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlgaecide — 1 L\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"height:8px\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.65\"\u003eGoes in to stop algae taking hold while the pool sits unattended.
