Mustard algae and more
I have a 23,000 in ground pool with a Caribbean Clear ionizer. Short strory, father passed away and now I am trying to keep the pool maintained. Pool store said I had mustard algae, they suggested the use of Algaecide 60 which is non-metallic, but didn't want me to put it in before I spoke with someone from Caribbean Clear just to be on the safe side. Can't get a response from the company, anyone have the answer? I hadn't been putting in the weekly bleach, apparently my father just used 2 gallons a week, had to use a sequestering agent because copper levels had gotten too high, now at .25 ish. PH, TA, CA, all finally good, I have been adding bleach like crazy yet my water is still cloudy from the powdery mustard algae. Do I turn up the system more to clear this up? Can I add some Aqua Chem Shock Plus? Oh, and I show no levels of TC or FC. PLEASE! I NEED HELP!

Re: Mustard algae and more
Shock your pool with Aqua Chem Shock Plus to kill the mustard algae. Increase your Caribbean Clear ionizer output to help clear the water. Run the pump continuously, and brush the pool surfaces. Monitor your chlorine levels and adjust as needed to maintain them.
