Algae infestation is a menace that scourges many swimming pools. They create a peculiar problem because they are more stubborn than the green colored algae. Yellow algae are also known as mustard algae because of their yellowish brown color. Regular algae busting treatments are not totally effective against this variety. When a pool is afflicted by this algae then only professional help of Phoenix pool cleaning company can assist you.

Yellow algae usually crop up when conditions suit them and ph level is imbalanced.  Usual chlorine treatment is not successful against Yellow algae. They clog up the filters and even consume chlorine turning pool even more unhygienic.

A Phoenix pool service  gives shock treatment with almost triples the standard amount to zap the yellow algae. Shock treatment along with algaecide specifically formulated for Yellow algae is also used. During the process, walls are brushed constantly so that chemical contacts algae spores and kill them right away. After the shock treatment, chemical treatment is done. The chlorine level is raised to 10 PPM and left overnight at 1-3 PPM level. All through the treatment, filter is kept running. The pool is needed to circulate for anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. After the treatment, whitish gray sediment settles on the pool floor. If your pool has filter cartridges then the filters need to be cleaned daily till sediment is removed. Otherwise, the pool has to be vacuumed properly before its ready to use.
