    Mustard Algae type 2

    The saga continued this past swimming season. I was able to get rid of the "stuff" by using 6% poly from walmart. But if I let the chlorine slip too low the "stuff" would come back a bit. Round and round we went but at least I was able to keep the floor of the pool clear of the brown stuff...

    Pool vacuumed. Filter off. FC should be about 23. I am thinking it may be something with the liner. After the drain and refill I noted what looked like grayish white algae on the floor. It is not. It's like the liner is strained grayish white. Those lines were not there before the drain and...
