(leaving some white and green marks), but the additives to keep the
algae away cost =A35 a tub and on this size of feature, requires
treatment every 2 weeks in summer, once a month in winter.

Jeyes Fluid is good for cleaning algae off concrete and patio slabs, so
I wondered if I add a little to the water feature, will it keep it
clear of algae?
