Phosphate

Phosphates serve as gourmet food for algae in your pool, promoting its growth. Although not harmful to humans, they can turn a pristine pool into an algae nightmare.

  • Phosphates fuel algae growth, even in well-sanitized pools.
  • High phosphate levels can cause persistent and recurrent algae blooms, leading to murky, green water.
  • They are not harmful to swimmers but can make maintaining a clean pool difficult.
  • Regular testing and the use of phosphate removers are essential when phosphate levels are high.
  • Ideally, phosphate levels should be kept near zero to prevent feeding the algae.
