    Long time TFP member, thinking about switching to a SWG this spring

    My water is always crystal clear and perfect thanks to all the knowledge I've acquired from TFP! The only chemical I use is liquid chlorine but even that is a bit of a pain sometimes so I'm considering switching to a SWG.

    Fighting Mustard Algae yet again, am I on the right track?

    I agree that PhosFree is way overpriced, but I am telling you, removing the PHOSPHATES was the only thing that worked for me. I only use Alum now because is it very inexpensive. I don't completely understand the chemistry, but it combines with the phosphates and settles to the bottom of the...

    Fighting Mustard Algae yet again, am I on the right track?

    Hello Richard, I just joined this forum and am definitely no expert in pool care but felt compelled to respond because I fought a very similar battle with mustard algae 2 years ago and the key to my win was PHOSPHATES!!! I tried just about everything you have tried so far and nothing worked...
