This issue comes up in pool treatment. I'm currently dealing with a pool
that has crashed and developed an algae bloom. Interestingly enough
ammonium sulfate in conjunction with superchlorination is one method
used to kill algae. The initially formed chloramines are destroyed by
further chlorination.

See "green to clean" pool algaecide directions for use.
