HI guys, I have been trying to eliminate mustard algae for abotu a week now and am not sure if i am doign it right. Brief history...
30ft above ground pool and i have been using the "pool solutions" chemicals for 2 full seasons and this is my third...and my first with mustard algae.
I kept the FC level above 10 (with a CYA of only about 30) for a solid week and then on satuday I added 8oz of sodium bromide. Sunday I saw a hint of it so I added more clorox and 4oz of sodium bromide. Monday was a hot day and the first real use the pool got, so last night I added more clorox as I did this mornign when I saw the FC was falling down to around 5. Tonight I get home from work after it poured for 4 hours and I had zero FC and the mustard algae was back...(filter has been running 24/7 for more than a week)
So I thru in 2 gallons of clorox immediately and thru a triclor tab in the strainer (which I have been using some the past 2 weeks to bring the CYA up) I just recieved my 233 refill so I will read my CYA again tomorrow.
SO....after 2 full years of hardly needing to do anything except add clorox to the pool I am struggling a bit.
I see that of late most people are suggesting polyquat as opposed to sodium bromide?
HELP!!!!!
