August...Mustard Algae 2.0

Statistically, August is when the toughest form of MUSTARD ALGAE will appear. Here are a few preventative measures that you can take now.​

• Increase your filtration period. The pump is the heart of the pool. Running it longer will help eliminate "dead spots", parts of the pool that receive poor circulation. These spots are usually "ground zero" for Mustard Algae.
• If your pool has a spa attached, increase the flow of water to it. Because they are more shallow and tend to be warmer, they often become a breeding ground for mustard algae.
• Keep the Phosphate level below 500ppb. A pool high in phosphates increases the likelihood of algae growth.  
• Use an algaecide that is specifically designed for Mustard Algae. We recommend Swimtrine Plus.
• At the first sign of Mustard Algae, treat it.
• The use of a mineral purifier like BLUERAY XL or PoolRx can go a long way towards the prevention of most algae, including mustard. ​​
