Mustard Algae and Sodium Bromide (Long)

Glad to hear it. IMHO, chlorine is STILL the best first attack against algae but mustard algae can be stubborn and sodium bromide, if used properly, seems to give good results most of the time. It is a bit of work to do it right, however!

I think I got my algae problem because I closed the pool with some leaves in the bottom due to pump problems I had at the end of the year..then when I opened the pool I let it sit for a week without hooking the filter up thinking it was still april and not warm enough yet to worry about algae or testing...so it was my own fault for not being prepared for closing last year. Ben did SUCH a great job with my pool last year I was lulled into a false sense of security...
