    Default Clear water, dirty bottom = mustard algae?

    Pool levels look spot on thanks to my Taylor kit, however I have a mystery fine dirt/mustard algae that comes back every couple days afterI vacuum to waste. I think I let my FC drop too low but not sure. Now my levels look great but the dirt/algae remains a reoccurring issue.

    What kind of Taylor kit do you have? Give us some current water testing results. Also, tell us the type and volume of the pool, size of pump, type and size of filter. Exactly what all have you put into the pool?

    Fixing mustard algae is not a one shot, "dump it in and done!" process. Pool stores will sell you products that claim exactly that . . . and some of them will kill all the algae almost instantly, but at the cost of real problems downstream.
