Even getting knockbacks when ordering at our local watering holes. I live in hope that it will return soon but not holding my breath !!!!!!!!!
The shelves have been full with tonic again for a couple of weeks now in BKK, it should get to you soon.
My local Tops put it in a new place and still have an empty shelf where it used to be, so most people still think there's none in stock. Maybe see if it's just moved?

Algae reoccurrences happen in a swimming pool because the algae was not completely eradicated when treated. Sometimes poor or misdirected water circulation can prevent the pool chemicals from removing all of the algae.
When treating a swim pool for algae, it is important that all parts of the pool receive a dose of algaecide. Some of the many types of algae can exist outside the pool and will reinfest the water when brought back in contact with the water. An excellent example of this is yellow, commonly called mustard, algae. These spores can survive outside the water for extended periods of time. It is important that when you treat for algae you submerge your cleaning equipment in the pool overnight, so that the algae on them is killed also. If you don't take this precaution, the next time you vacuum or skim for leaves you may reinfest your pool with algae spores.
In that case you must also empty, clean and refill your sand filter as this would be the best place for algae to remain! I would also like to know from where you obtain your fresh water as this also could be a source for recontamination with algae?
I think you are going over the top with your treatment but everyone to their own. Usually I would say "if it works then go ahead."
Yet another problem with sand filters, a great breeding ground, impossible to inspect, difficult to clean..
For all those folk having issues with sand filtration, do yourselves a huge favour and change to one of the new medias available, we, and now, many of our friends have changed to glass media and never looked back, reduced algae growth, no channeling, less backwashing, better clarity, etc, etc,. Our sand media was due to be changed after about 4 years of daily filtration, so for a couple of thousand baht more we changed to glass, from what I've heard the life expectancy is more than twice that of sand and the grade of sand used here in Thailand isn't as high a standard as many other countries. As we have bore water, we were also occasionally having issues with reactive iron deposits discolouring the water, now, almost two years after the change - over we haven't had a problem there either.
