I had a pool service, that when they started, threw a copper/silver pipe into the pump basket to help prevent algae in my pool. Since I no longer have the service, I was wondering if I could go to Home Depot or similar store and buy a 3 inch copper pipe and put it in my pump basket to help prevent algae. It, seemed to work with the service.
Copper pipes help prevent algae?

Overall, that's a bad idea. While copper has some algaecidal properties, TFP believes the use of any form of copper can be detrimental. to your pool. Keep algae away from your pool with chlorine.......there's nothing as good.
