    I am also a bit concerned by the fact that you have no CC yet you think you have mustard algae. If there was mustard in the water you would have some CC. How was your water tested? something does not seem right.
    Waterbear, My neighbor has a SWG and a very expensive Taylor K-1741-C test kit. The Mustard algae turned out to be pollen. As for the salt test he just tested it out of habit. The phos level and the TDS level was tested at the pool store.
    I have been using a lot of bleach lately, 1/2 gallon a day. Seems more than I used last year. Do you have any idea why?
