2	Vacation / Mustard Algae Dosing
3	Use the doses here to help with preparing your pool for vacation OR for treating mustard algae. The "borates" and "polyquat" doses can be used as shown. The actual chlorine dose should be 20%
4	of your CYA level for vacation prep, or 30% or more of your CYA level for treating mustard algae. Phosphate remover doses must be based on your TESTED phosphate level. If you remove 1 ppm
5	(1000 ppb) PO4, when your pool has 1.5 ppm (1500) PO4 . . . you've accomplished nothing, except wasting your money. To be helpful you MUST lower phosphates to 0.125 ppm (125 ppb) OR LOWER!
