Default Slippery floors and spa algaecide

At the 14 oz/1000 gal rate that would be 1/12 tsp /gal. I believe that would
be something like 2-3 drops/ gal depending on the size of the dropper tip.
That does sound a little ridiculous but I guess it's better than mixing up a
lifetime supply at once.
14 oz X 2 Tbsp/oz X 3 tsp/ Tbsp = 84 tsp/ 1000gal = .084 tsp/gal =1/12
tsp/gal

Slippery floors and spa algaecide

Ok, so I have this stuff. But I have never used it. I have a problem
with slippery floors due to the high humidity. What is the "normal"
amount to a 2 gallon watering can for a less slippery walk? The stuff
just says if algae is present, use 13-15 oz for 1,000 gallons of
water.

Now I figure even if I take that back to the amount for 2 gallons, it
is not going to be "recycled thru the system," so this is a one shot
and I have it or not. Does anyone use this anymore?
