This paper describes: 1) how, when, where and why to set up mussel monitors on service water and fire protection systems; 2) the life cycle of the zebra mussel and how to recognize the different life cycle stages; 3) how to prepare water samples and coupons in settling racks taken from mussel monitors and how to interpret the data collected; 4) how to use the monitors for controlling (i.e. either killing 100% or preventing settlement) zebra mussel infestations in continuous and intermittent control programs; 5) how to maximize the efficiency of your control program; and 6) how to minimize the use of chemical and physical treatment, and therefore how to keep costs at a minimum.
