Step-by-step

Add Yellow Treat®

Add one bag or one capful (5 oz.) of Yellow Treat® per 10,000 gallons of water in the areas with the most mustard algae.

Leave items like pool toys, equipment, and floaters in the pool during treatment. Leaving them out and not treating them increases the risk of reinfecting the pool with mustard algae when they get thrown back in.

Brush the algae

Brush the pool, concentrating on areas with the most algae.

Shock

Shock the pool with your choice of chlorine – using about 2 pounds/gallons of chlorine per 10,000 gallons of pool water. Refer to the directions on your chlorine for “super-chlorination” specific dosing.

Run the filter

Let the filter run, and backwash/clean the filter as necessary. Refer to the filter manual for recommendations.

Add No Mor Problems

Add No Mor Problems regularly to prevent the algae from returning. Just add 5 ounces each time you replace 2 tablets in your feeder, or each time you add a pound or a gallon of your regular chlorine.
