How to diagnose and treat Mustard or Yellow Algae in your Swimming Pool.
Mustard algae are resistant to normal levels of chlorine, and can fast return to the same spot if not deal with it immediately.
This type of algae is found in areas where there is consistent sun on the pool during the day. Yellow algae also have the ability to hide spores inside the pool filter and attach itself into swimsuit fabrics, soft pool toys, and cleaning tools. The algae are often mistaken for dirt or sand on the sides of the pool.
Mustard algae can be brushed away easily. It will return quickly to the same spot. It may form in areas in the pool where the water is not circulating in that spot.
Increase the requirement for chlorine in the pool, though it may survive with shocking. It is important when treating mustard algae to treat and clean all equipment as it can affect the pool again.
To treat yellow algae, have the water tested to establish the chemistry levels in the water. Brush the pool thoroughly before, during and after treatment. Aggressively shock with chlorine, and follow your algaecide directions.
