Algicide for MUSTARD ALGAE (Phormidium):and most slime-type algae.
Resistance:
Mustard algae is highly resistant to chlorine, making it difficult to eliminate.
Misidentification:
Mustard algae appears as a fine, yellowish-green powdery substance that can be slimy and slippery, resembling oil or mustard paste.
It can be easily mistaken for dirt, sand, or pollen. The thick, sticky, and yellow/brown algae often found on the floor in swimming pools is known as mustard algae or yellow algae.
The chlorine-resistant form of green algae that can be yellow-green to brown in color and often resembles dirt or sand on the pool surfaces. Technically a type of cyanobacteria (often treated as a yellow-green algae), this stubborn, chlorine-resistant strain clings to pool walls and resembles loose dirt or sand.
Location:
It tends to grow in shady areas of the pool and can cling to pool surfaces, especially in corners, crevices, and hard-to-reach areas.
TREATMENT
Dilute with water and pour over the pool surface. Run pump for 1 cycle (6 hours)
• First treatment: 350cc per 20m3. Repeat after 7 days
• Regular treatment: 180cc per 20m3 every 10 to 14 days.
NO WAITING - SWIM IMMEDIATELY.
Brush and vacuum: Vigorously remove with a stainless steel brush and vacuum the pool floor and walls to remove the algae. When vacuuming, set the filter to WASTE. If using a cartridge filter, temporarily replace the cartridge element with an old one.
In vinyl liner and fibreglass pools drain the water and use a nylon brush with stiff bristles to avoid damaging the liner or the gel coat.
Superchlorinate the pool.
Sterilize filter: After treatment thoroughly clean the filter media with FILTERKLEER. If using ordinary beach or construction sand or silica sand, change the sand. If using a cartridge filter, temporarily replace the cartridge element with an old one. Dilute with water and soak the filter element overnight with FILTERKLEER
Prevention:
Maintain proper water chemistry: Ensure pH is berween 7.2 and 7.6. Check the total alkalinity. Regularly test and balance your pool water every three days.
Ensure good circulation: Ensure proper water circulation to prevent stagnant areas where algae can thrive. According to US and Australian rues, pool water should be turned over completely once in 24 hours in a total pumping time not exceeding 6 - 8 hours.
Remove debris: Regularly remove debris, such as leaves and dirt, from the pool to prevent algae growth.
Clean pool equipment: Regularly clean pool equipment, such as pool toys and cleaning equipment, to prevent the spread of algae.
