Mustard algae is very fine and is a yellow (mustard-coloured) powder that is very volatile.
It is found at the bottom of pools or on pool walls and comes off easily when you scrub it with a brush (broom or robot), although this creates a cloud of algae…
The easiest way to destroy it once and for all as is follows:
- Remove scale from the filter in order to get most of it out: Use Acti Filter Cleaner
- Lower the pH to around 7.0: Use Acti pH Minus Powder
- Carry out shock treatment: Use Acti TOP or Acti HP Granules
- Use Acti Anti-Mustard Algae
- Scrub with a brush and filter for 48 hours
- If you have a sand filter, use Acti Flocculent Sock
