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?

I tried one brand of that algaecide on my carwash walls and floor with
no success.I think it is designed to stay in solution and work over
time. I went back to a 50% bleach solution thru a garden sprayer. After
10 min. a stiff water spray wash knocks it, the algae, off. You have to
stay upwind of the bleach. A 10% solution probably would be better for
a closed greenhouse. Vinegar also works.

In that case maybe I'll try vinegar - it is cheap.
