I am a new pool owner, had a few months with it last Fall before closing it up for the winter. The algae that you see in the pictures, is the same growth I battled last fall. Chlorine, brush and vacumm would clear it up for about 4-5 days. I never brought the FC levels up higher than normal levels last year. I think it is mustard Algae? I plan on doing a SLAM to open the pool now. The pictures you see are after a quick brush, the yellowish stuff still on the steps and now more in the middle of the pool was everywhere before I brushed. If this is indeed mustard algae, and I bring the SLAM FC level to 19 based on my readings....how long is it safe to keep at those inflated levels? Thanks in advance...Tim
