Mustard algae

[Ej1979]

Hi, my name is EJ and I'm new to this forum..
I recently canceled my pool cleaning services due to cost and the guy is not really doing a good job...
2 weeks ago I woke up with a green cloudy pool, i checked the skimmer basket and I found a WEIRD looking rock, I didn't think anything of it at that time until I started watching ytubes videos, then it all of a sudden hit me!! My pool [emoji474] guy sabotage my pool..I'm not sure [emoji848] what he did, but I now have MUSTARD ALGAE infestation....

I used the Clorox pool n spa app to figure out on how to fix the problem...
Results were positive, except the mustard algae on the floor is very slow to disappear!!
I went to Leslie's pool spa store today, and the guy recommended the YELLOW OUT and powder shock, but I found that process to be expensive...
Is there any cheaper way to do this?
Thanks

What's the difference between
Mustard algae and organic stain?

One is living algae. The other is a stain, for example tannins from leaves.

OMG, thank you very much,
TANNINS!
And I think my pool guy did it on purpose!! He was butt hurt when I canceled my account!! He didn't do a good job though! I thought what he was doing was very good!!!
After reading, watching, asking I finally figured it out, I just got to get me a good tester kit
