Efflorence don't worry about it. See the section on it on the main site and try to ignore it as it will soon disappear. Don't put any more cleaning products on it as you could be doing more harm than good.
Can't see it from my house

As Pablo has said don't worry about it for now, with regards to the Algon, all that will do is get rid of algae, moss etc, not the efflo.
