How this prefilter woks, it is excellent at capturing basically anything that would eventually settle to the pool floor if left to themselves (more dense than water). To be technical, the Typhoon cyclonic pre-filter is rated to be effective at removing 96% of all heavier than dirt particulate down to 30 Microns, and 75% down to 20 Microns, and can capture debris as small as 5 microns. So as you mention, in addition to sand and dirt, if the algae you mention is something that maybe you have killed off and then brushed off the side of the pool, it would get captured if it fits that description.
