I had a mustard algae issue for years. It turned out I had stabilizer lock from using the devils pool candy aka 3 inch pool tablets. Maybe for the northern pools that are half drained every year and only run a few month, they
MIGHT work. But the best way to chlorinate a pool is liquid chlorine.
I finally switched to TFP method last year after getting my CYA level right. Haven't had an issue. After the 4 hottest months, I installed a Salt Water Chlorine Generator. I was stupid for not doing that when I installed the pool, 14 years ago.
One of my friends in upstate NY just installed an AGP. I walked her through getting a SWG and a variable speed pump to save electricity. Once they get everything dialed in, they will only need to adjust pH once a week.
On a Green Pool, SLAM. Shock Level and maintain. I see people turn swamps into crystal clear water.
Here is one of the adventures
